Seeking Advice on Long-Lasting Summer Fragrances for Humid C

Hello everyone,
I'm fairly new to the fragrance world and have recently joined Parfumo to explore different scent options. I live in a very humid and hot climate, especially during the summer months, and I’ve noticed that many of the perfumes I try tend to fade quickly or become too overpowering. I’m currently looking for suggestions on fresh, long-lasting fragrances that can perform well in high humidity without being cloying. Citrusy or aquatic notes are usually my favorites, but I’m open to new ideas. Could anyone recommend some specific perfumes that might suit these conditions? Your insights and experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I come from a very hot and humid country in Asia, although I do not live there anymore. Whenever I visit, I notice my fragrances tend to disappear quicker than usual. If you spray on skin, the perfume evaporates off your skin faster in hot and humid weather and also due to perspiration. In general, I tend to spray on clothes than on skin where the scent sticks on the fabric for longer. Of course, that also depends on the color of the clothes and how sensitive they are. You don't want to ruin a white silk blouse by spraying a dark orange perfume 😅

On the other hand, citrus or aquatic scent in most cases are not long lasting due to the volatile nature of these fragrance compounds. There are a few exceptions though.

Since you mentioned that you are new into fragrances, I wouldn't want to recommend anything too expensive.

Based on your preference, I would recommend you to try these:

Ingenious Ginger

Pacific Rock Moss

If you are interested in trying something outside citrus and aquatic scents but something that doesn't get cloying , you can try these:

Mon Guerlain Sparkling Bouquet

Miss Dior Parfum

Idôle

My Way Eau de Parfum

I recommend these based on personal experience. Your experience or preference might be different.

Neon (2023)

Ozone (2023)

Iskander and Acqua di Scandola from Parfum d'Empire are two that might fit the bill.

My favorite when I go to countries with humid and hot climate are fragrances with no or limited sweetness :

Gentle Fluidity (Silver)

Fanfare

French Lover

or a vetiver perfume like Vetiver Parfum or Grey Vetiver Eau de Parfum

Hope that helps

Recommendations will vary based on the price range you want to stay in. I live in Las Vegas and it's not humid but it's very hot so freshies are basically my staple most of the year. 

Hi, @snarlsafety !

It's really hot and humid where I live, and these have worked out really well for me.

If you have a chance to get your hands on Panpuri where you live, I highly recommend Eternal Sunshine (citrus and basil freshie) and Andaman Sails (green tea marine).

Surprised no one has mentioned Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum and its X version. Unisex and long-lasting and intensity varies with how much you apply.

A bit sweet, but if you like pistachios with your citrus, Un Jardin à Cythère Eau de Toilette is surprisingly long-lasting for an EDT.

IV-II Ray-Flection is also one of those perfumes that I can spray twice in the morning and it keeps going for 8-9 hours.
