I’d mix it up and wear heavier fragrance in the summer as sometimes it ‘blooms’ differently
I did this recently with Mauboussin Mauboussin, just a single spritz to the chest during one of the hottest and most humid days of the year so far, and it was incredible!
Long trails of ylang ylang were subtly winding away from my skin and that plummy amber was a soft, intimate bubble that somehow became aquatic and watery, like fragrant bath water.
Any more than that single spritz and it would have been upsetting though, it’s faaaar too heavy for heat.

Yep, I think the dose makes the poison in these cases, a judicious spritz definitely avoids overwhelm. I’ve also found some summery fragrances can take on an icy quality in winter too I think that’s one of the interesting things with fragrance, different temperatures and seasons can reveal different facets
