Pro tips for seasonal longevity
- Hydrate & moisturise: scents cling longer to well-moisturised skin—use unscented lotion for layering.
- Strategic spray: pulse points (neck, chest, behind ears). In summer, try upper back so the trail rises naturally.
- Travel minis: keep a 10 mL decant for mid-day top-ups in peak heat.
- Match intensity to setting: lighter EDTs for offices and daytime; richer EDP/Parfum for nights and cooler months.
FAQs
Can I wear one perfume all year?
Yes—versatile signatures like Sauvage EDP or Coco Mademoiselle work year-round. But a small seasonal rotation keeps things fresh and optimises performance.
EDT or EDP for Australian heat?
EDTs feel breezier in extreme heat, while EDPs last longer for evenings. Pick the concentration that suits your day—both have a place.
How do I avoid fakes?
Buy from trusted retailers (batch codes, sealed packaging, clear returns). Our stock is authentic and covered by easy returns.
