The Best Car Scents for Summer Drives

In hot weather, scent travels faster and can feel stronger. That is why lighter, brighter fragrances usually work best in summer.

Scent families to try

• Citrus: bergamot, lime and grapefruit feel clean and energizing.
• Green and fresh: cut grass, mint and leafy notes add a cool, airy feel.
• Aquatic: clean, watery notes feel like a breeze.
• Light florals: white blossom and jasmine bring softness without heaviness.

Tips for hot weather

Choose a lighter concentration if the sun heats your cabin quickly, and keep your perfume out of direct sunlight. Park in the shade when you can and crack a window to let hot air escape before you start the drive.

A fresh citrus scent is a good starting point for a summer car.
