Are there any fragrance families you don't wear because of the season?

Are there any fragrance families you don't wear because of the season?

For me, it might be more related to temperature than specifically season, but that’s only if I’m going to be outdoors and typically more related to heavier, darker scents (lots of amber, woods, spices) on a very hot day. I feel like I’d wear a summery scent during the fall/winter out, though.

The ones I’ll wear by choice tend to last a solid eight hours before starting to show some signs of wear, but they’d be minor signs – not heavy creasing or patchiness. I’d prefer a bit closer to 10 hours, which I find I can get to if I set with powder or use a primer underneath.

How long do cheek products typically wear for you? Is that long enough?

How long does eyeshadow typically wear for you? Is that long enough?

How long does eyeshadow typically wear for you? Is that long enough?

It lasts around eight hours decently – that means a bit of fading or signs of wear but not to the casual viewer. I would definitely use a primer if I planned to leave the house as I prefer better wear overall.
