Summer fragrances
Fragrances wearers report reaching for most often in summer, counted from published wearer votes.
These are counted from wearer votes at the venues each fragrance cites, not a recommendation from Scentorian. The first group is fragrances whose votes concentrate on summer. The second is fragrances worn right through the year, summer among them, whose votes never settled on one season. Weather, skin and how much you apply all change what a fragrance does.
