Tips for Wearing Perfume in the UAE Summer Heat

• Apply to pulse points: Wrists, neck, and behind the ears help diffuse fragrance as your body warms up.
• Moisturise first: Fragrance lasts longer on hydrated skin — apply an unscented lotion before your perfume.
• Store properly: Keep your bottles away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve scent quality.
• Less is more: Heat amplifies projection — 2-3 sprays is usually enough in summer.
