How to Heat-Proof Your Fragrance
on June 18, 2025
Hot weather changes everything- your wardrobe, your energy, and yes, your fragrance. In high temperatures, even the most precious raw ingredients can fade faster or evolve unpredictably. But with the right techniques, our fragrance experts can provide tips to keep your fragrance vibrant and long-lasting all summer long.
Choose a High-Concentration Fragrance
When choosing fragrances to last in the heat, look for scents with heavier base notes such as musk, oud, and spices. The heat will complement these decadant base notes as they wear on your skin, offering longevity.
Application Tips
Heat accelerates fragrance evaporation. Skip your pulse points and instead apply to cooler areas—like the back of the knees, nape of the neck, or even your hair and clothing—to extend longevity.
A Solid Base
Fragrance lasts longer on well-moisturized skin. Apply an unscented lotion or body oil before spritzing to lock in your Montale scent.
Refresh On-the-Go
Carry a mini spray for mid-day touch-ups. When choosing fragrances with lighter base notes, such as citrus or delicate floral, having a 20ml travel spray of your signature scent is perfect for refreshing in the heat.
Store Your Fragrance Properly
Heat, light, and humidity are the biggest disruptors to your fragrance. The iconic aluminum bottles are a great defense against UV exposure, while also being modernly chic. All our essential bottle sizes protect the raw ingredients from sunlight, temperature swings, and oxidation. Whether you’re beachside or pool hopping, your Montale remains perfectly preserved and powerfully fragrant.
