In this guide, we’ll explore what works best for the monsoon and share some  top perfume picks from Nisara Beauty that can refresh your senses and brighten even the gloomiest days.

What Types of Perfumes Work Best in the Rainy Season?

Fresh Citrus

Zesty notes like lemon, bergamot, orange, and grapefruit offer an instant burst of energy perfect for humid weather.

Aquatic & Green Notes

Think marine accords, green tea, mint, water lily clean and breezy, they evoke the feel of nature refreshed by rain.

Light Musks

Subtle musks blend beautifully with your skin, adding soft depth without feeling heavy.

Delicate Florals

Soft blooms like jasmine, freesia, peony, and rose work well when paired with green or citrus notes adding elegance without overpowering.

Notes to Avoid in the Monsoon

Heavy Gourmands
Caramel, chocolate, vanilla-heavy blends can feel too cloying in humid air.

Intense Oud
While beautiful in cooler months, strong oud can feel too thick in muggy weather.

Thick Orientals
Spicy, resinous notes can be overwhelming when the air is already heavy.

How to Make Your Perfume Last Longer in Rainy Weather?

Apply to freshly moisturized skin — hydrated skin holds fragrance better.

Focus on pulse points — neck, behind ears, inside elbows.

Layer with complementary body mist or lotion — gives the scent more staying power.

Avoid spraying on damp clothing — let clothes fully dry before applying perfume.

Store your perfumes properly — in a cool, dry space away from humidity.
