Wearing Fragrance Through the Seasons

## Fragrance Has a Season Just as you would not wear a heavy wool coat in summer, your fragrance should shift with the seasons. Temperature affects how fragrances project and evolve — warm air amplifies, cold air mutes. ## Summer Heat amplifies everything. Light, fresh fragrances — citrus, aquatic, green — come alive in summer. Heavy orientals and ouds become overwhelming. Mondmorrea's **Citrus Veld** was built for exactly this: the bright opening of neroli and bergamot over a clean, dry white musk base. ## Autumn The season for spice and warmth. Woody fragrances, amber-based scents, and light orientals. Think cinnamon, cardamom, vetiver, and leather. This is when a fragrance can be more complex and enveloping. ## Winter The season to wear your most powerful fragrances. Oud, deep musks, incense, and rich florals thrive in cold air, which acts as a carrier. A heavy oriental that would be oppressive in summer becomes perfect in winter. ## Spring The season of florals, greens, and soft musks. Light and optimistic. Perfect for rose, peony, iris, and fresh woods. ## South African Context In South Africa, our seasons are compressed and often warmer than European norms. Lean lighter than you think — what reads as a winter scent in London may be perfect for a Johannesburg autumn.
