Perfumes suited to Nigeria's climate - what works best?

Perfumes suited to Nigeria's Climate

Buying a perfume suited to Nigeria’s climate can be challenging because high temperatures and moisture make perfumes work harder . Environmental odours and the high heat can make perfume evaporate more quickly.  

Citrus is best for the heat
various ingredients for perfume

Citrus-based perfumes, with notes like lemon, bergamot, and orange have a refreshing and light aroma, generally they  create a cooling effect. This is ideal for hot weather, as these fragrances are invigorating, yet  fresh.

If you love Citrus fragrances,  try Copaci Acqua Magic eau de parfum? It features citrus, marine, patchouli, fresh and spicy top notes, while its woody base notes make the fragrance last.

Tips for Applying Perfume in Humid Weather

1. Apply to pulse points: Dab perfume on the wrists, neck and behind the ears for better diffusion

2. Moisturise skin, as hydrated skin retains perfume for longer

3. Use Sparingly: Use less in humid climates, whenever you want to avoid an overwhelming perfume effect.
