Why does your house smell weird once you enter? Get rid of the stink with these tips

It is important to consider the seasons as well while picking a fragrance for your room, as temperature has a major impact on the perception of the perfumes. Just as you won’t choose to wear flip flops (otherwise ideal for summer) during monsoons, the scents will have to be tweaked accordingly depending upon the season.

As monsoon bring cooler temperatures along with it, fragrances with mature notes such as Cedarwood, or earthy or suave notes of Vetiver would be an ideal choice that fits best for the season.

Switching the monsoon gloom into bloom

Just as the days during monsoon are unpredictable, our mood may vary throughout the days. In these moments, a whiff of a fresh fragrance or a spray of your favourite scent can go a long way towards taking your mood out of the ditches. For some, monsoons bring a melancholic feeling, and should go for fragrances with notes of energising lemon, fresh bergamot, and grapefruit. For some, monsoon brings out the romantics in them, and fragrances with notes of sensual violet, in a bouquet of romantic rose petals and rich peach rose would elevate the entire emotion for them. And for the ones who want to experience the feeling of raindrops falling upon them without stepping outside, selecting a fragrance with notes of sparkling lemon and dewy green accords on marine notes will do the trick.

Sampling scents for monsoon the correct way

Sampling fragrances before selecting them is one of the most important parts of selecting your ideal fragrance for monsoons. We often determine our first impression of a fragrance merely by spraying it in the air or sampling it on the tester. In order to get a complete picture of the fragrance and your preference for it, spray it lightly on warm parts of your body like the wrist. Spray it on a pulse point, and avoid rubbing it, and the natural warmth of the body will help heat up the fragrance and reveal its essence, thus giving you an overall sense of the aroma.
