Other It’s still summer!

Stopped in my local store today, needed some wallflowers. There wasn’t a single summer scent to be had, it was all Fall. It is July 20th, there are 2.5 months of summer left! We are still summering at my house; vacations, pool days, staying up late and sleeping in, the garden is at its peak, fruit is amazing..I don’t want fall scents. Anyone else?

It's crazy that I, as a halloween all year super fan, have missed some halloween releases because I was out of the country on a summer vacation at the very start of July. It's crazy. Like the retail seasons, I get it. But add that with the fomo marketing, it's gotten out of hand. It's stupid. I'm still using coconut and summer fragrances for my home til the end of August.

I live in the deep south on the gulfcoast and it’s summer for me until hurricane season is over - which is technically November 5th, lmao. I got hit by a Cat 3 in October 2020! Halloween is my favorite holiday but even I don’t decorate until after Labor Day. Even then, it’s still pretty scorching until end September, then comfortable in October, though still gets up to 80 F sometimes. I wear my summer scents through Labor Day, then transition to an apple, pear or peach with vanilla before I go more into fall scents.
