Summer in the UAE changes how perfume behaves. Heat amplifies a fragrance, so a rich scent that is perfect in January can feel heavy in August. In hot weather, look for fresh citrus, aquatic and light floral scents with a gentle woody or musky base.
Our summer picks
- Deep Ocean: Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian orange with ginger, on Chinese black tea. Crisp and modern.
- Aqua Fresh by Antonio Dmetri: cardamom, mint and pink pepper with melon and pineapple. Cool and spicy.
- Barari Al Khaleej: bergamot, apple, blackcurrant and pineapple over oakmoss and musk.
- Anfas Marine: marine notes, lemon and bitter orange with jasmine, unisex.
- Petra: lavender, mandarin and orange blossom, soft and elegant.
- Russian Citrus: a bright citrus choice for daytime.
