Fresh citrus and aquatic notes suit warm days and daytime wear. Woody and spiced notes feel more grounded and tend to last longer through colder months.
Start with a sample or small bottle before committing to a full size, and note how a fragrance develops over several hours rather than judging it on the first spray.
For daily skin care, a simple routine of cleanser, moisturizer, and an SPF is usually enough. Look for fragrance-free or lightly scented formulas if you have sensitive skin.
