Summer Perfumes & Fragrances

Understanding Summer Perfumes

Summer perfume captures the spirit of long, sunlit days and open skies. At Abel, our summer scents are designed to feel effortless and unique, using only 100% natural ingredients. Crafted by our master perfumer with the help of biotechnology, each fragrance offers a clean and modern expression of nature’s brightness.

Find a fragrance that feels right for warm days. Something light to wear in the evenings, or a scent that works wear all year.

A good summer perfume feels light, breathable, and energising. Fragrances for warmer weather tend to avoid heavy, resinous, or overly sweet notes. Instead, they lean into citrus, green, aquatic, and soft floral ingredients that feel cooling, uplifting, and easy to wear even on hot days.

Abel’s summer perfumes are designed to sit lightly on the skin while maintaining a sense of depth and character.

Frequently Asked

How should I choose a fragrance for warmer weather?

Look for clean, airy compositions that avoid heavy resins or strong spices. Abel’s Laundry Day and Cyan Nori are perfect examples of fragrances that feel bright and easy in the heat.

What notes are best for summer perfumes?

Citrus fruits, green botanicals, oceanic accords, and light florals are ideal for summer perfumes. They help create a refreshing and uplifting effect that complements warm temperatures.

What are some refreshing perfume notes ideal for summer?

Notes such as neroli, bergamot, basil, vetiver, white peach, and nori are perfect for summer. Abel’s Cyan Nori and Laundy Day highlight these fresh, revitalising elements beautifully.

Do citrus fragrances last as long as floral or woody scents?

Citrus notes are naturally more volatile and may not last as long as woody or resinous notes. However, Abel's fragrances are grounded with strong base notes to ensure longevity across lighter scent profiles.

How can I make my perfume last longer in hot weather?

Apply to well-moisturised skin, layer with a fragrance-free lotion, and store perfume away from heat and sunlight. Reapplying lightly throughout the day can also help maintain your summertime fragrance.

How should I store perfumes during summer to maintain quality?

Store in a cool, dark place, such as a drawer or cabinet. Avoid leaving perfumes in hot cars or direct sunlight, as heat and UV light can degrade natural ingredients over time.

Are there perfume combinations to avoid during warmer months?

Heavier notes like oud, rich amber, or syrupy sweet accords can feel overpowering in the heat. Choosing fresher, cleaner scents helps you stay light and comfortable.
