How To Pick Signature Scents For Summer

Finding your signature fragrance for the heat ends here with these 5 recommendations

By Rudra Mulmule | LAST UPDATED: NOV 19, 2025

Indian summer is that time of the year that calls for unwinding. But you know how sticky it gets battling the heat. As temperatures rise, no matter how much you would like to look fresh and renewed, the blazing sun makes it impossible. More than a season, Indian summers are a force of nature ostentatiously embracing you. You know exactly what I am talking about.

Unlike the winter, the relentless Indian summer necessitates a fragrance that doesn't melt away like an ice cream. What works when stepping out for a sunlit brunch or a rooftop soiree is a cologne that does more than masking the sweat and the smell. You need something that also complements your personality and leaves an impression on other around you.

Let's find the perfect fragrances that will work wonders for Indian summer. But before we jump to it, know where they really come from:

Understanding the Families of Fragrance

Putting on a perfume gives one the right boost of confidence. It's an invisible suit that makes you look your best. So, it's important that you know what works for you. First and foremost, test your perfume the right way before you make the purchase. Sure, the spray on paper smells amazing, but the makeup of the perfume will react differently on your skin. Also, here's a fun fact, don't judge the first spritz of fragrance as it takes a couple of hours to unfold.

I think it's been said enough since the advent of perfume making that you should pick one that truly complements who you are. Let me put on the expert voice for you and say: If you're a minimalist, then try citrus or musky fragrances. Does everyone call you adventurous? Go for earthy, woody fragrances. Oh, you are quite the charmer, eh? How about spicy, leathery, warm fragrances? No? Then look for oud, sandalwood or even tobacco notes!

Remember that you can mix two families of fragrances, for instance, a light layer of airy notes with earthy ones to create a fusion.

Here are the 5 fragrances that will last you in the scorching heat:
