Beauty trends focus on summer body care and seasonal fragrances

Recent beauty trends highlight a focus on body care and seasonal fragrance adjustments. New product releases for late summer include body butter balms, mists, and shower oils from brands such as Summer Fridays, Josie Maran, Tatcha, and Glossier. These products aim to provide hydration and skin barrier support.

In fragrance, experts suggest transitioning away from heavy notes like oud, amber, or intense gourmands during hot weather, as warm skin can amplify sweet scents to a cloying degree. Instead, elegant fruity notes such as fig, black currant, rhubarb, and plum are gaining popularity. Narciso Rodriguez’s Musc Noir Rose, which features plum and tuberose, is noted as a successful option for warmer conditions.
