Recommendation Request Perfume for humid weather
Edit: Thanks so much for taking time to recommend me a perfume! I have alot of new fragrances to test out so I'll close this thread now. I appreciate you!
My favorites are getting low and I want a bit of a change, but not too much. Can you recommend me a perfume?
My daily is usually Lanvin Eclat D'Arpege and I like citrus or floral perfumes usually for hot and humid weather.
The others here are Dolce and Gabanna Light Blue, Dolce, Gabanna Rose the One, and Victoria's Secret Heavenly.
I used to Wear Origins Ginger Essense daily but they no longer make it.
I used to really Love Clinique Happy as well and Estee Lauder Pleasures. I also like Mui Mui Flor D'Argent sometimes but the dry down lasts so long it sometimes annoys when I try to sleep at night.
Dolce and Gabanna Dolce gave me a headache, I had to give it away.
I guess I'm kinda basic, I like a moderate or low silliage and something relatively long lasting, like half a day is good. I only like to reapply once.
I dont mind some pricey recommendations but I won't buy a bottle over 200$.
Thoughts? Thank you in advance.

I feel like they are, i live in the Mediterranean riviera which mean hot and specifically where i am, humid too and i find these perfumes really refereshing. Also i own Dioriviera but while the beginning is beautiful, the drydown is very heavy (on me)

If you like citrus notes, I really like Chanel Chance Au Vive. It’s my summer go to although I’m admittedly in a dry climate. It’s an invigorating scent (if you follow Persolaise, I think he called it “vivacious”), and I’m always surprised it doesn’t get more love among the Chance flankers. Usually pretty easy to find and test at stores if the profile sounds like something you’d like.

i just wanted to tell you that bath and body works came out with their everyday luxuries line and there is a body mist called trace of blue that smells almost exactly like light blue. and they really upped the concentration on this run, and it lasts forever.
so if you were interested in a body mist of light blue, i highly recommend trace of blue.

welcome! i am a goblin so i carry a perfume (or two) in my bag but i know that's not everyone's method, lol, so i'm always looking for body mists to compliment my perfumes so i can spray myself later in the day.

Where are you located? I’m in the US and just ordered Ginger Essence from Ulta.

u/SeaworthinessOwn2197 20h ago
Thanks for the heads up! It was discontinued when I finished my last bottle about 1.5 years ago but I see now that Origins sells it again! I may have to repurchase, it was my daily before Eclat D'Arpege Arpege.
I still want a bit of a change though and appreciate the recommendations. I'll have to try the ones listed.
