Everyone wants to enjoy the pleasant rains and drizzly weather of Sawan, but this season also brings with it a big trouble – excessive moisture in the air i.e. humid weather. Due to sweating during monsoon, not only the clothes get wet quickly, but also a strange basic smell starts coming from the body. The biggest problem in this season is that even your favorite and expensive perfume disappears in the air within just one to two hours of applying it. From a reporter’s perspective, ordinary perfumes do not work in this humid weather, rather you need to include perfumes with certain notes in your grooming kit. Let us know the 4 best perfume options to stay fresh and fragrant throughout the day in monsoon and the secret hacks to keep the fragrance lasting for a long time.

These 4 perfume notes are best for monsoon

During rainy days, one should always choose perfumes with strong, fresh and crisp fragrance, which remain in place even after humidity:

• Citrus Notes: Perfumes with extracts of lemon, orange, bergamot and seasonal fruits are considered best for this season. Their sour and fresh fragrance completely suppresses the smell of sweat and fills you with instant energy.

• Aquatic/Oceanic Perfumes: Aquatic perfumes, which evoke the feeling of ocean waves and cool breeze, give a mental feeling of reducing the heavy humidity of monsoon. This fragrance is very light, clean and long lasting.

• Woody & Spicy Notes: If you don’t like sweet scents, you can choose perfumes with sandalwood, cedarwood or light cinnamon scents. These notes combined with the earthy fragrance give a very royal look and feel.

• Floral Musk: Perfumes with base notes of jasmine, lavender or rose along with musk do not evaporate during humid days. Musk keeps the fragrance from sticking to the skin, making the fragrance last for hours.

Correct way to apply perfume: How to make the fragrance last?

Just buying a good perfume is not enough, the way of applying it during monsoon should also be special so that it does not get lost in sweat:

• Apply on pulse points: Always spray perfume on warm parts of the body i.e. pulse points like the inner part of the wrist, both sides of the neck, behind the ears and the bend of the elbow. Due to increased blood circulation here, the fragrance keeps releasing slowly throughout the day.

• Vaseline or Moisturizer Hack: Perfume evaporates quickly on dry skin. Before spraying perfume in monsoon, apply a little unscented petroleum jelly or moisturizer on that area. This oil locks the molecules of the base perfume, due to which the fragrance lasts twice as long.

• Avoid spraying on clothes: Spraying perfume directly on clothes during the rainy season can cause a strange damp smell to the clothes due to the moisture in the air and can also cause stains. Always use it on clean skin immediately after bathing.
