Hair perfumes to try this spring Fragrances to spray for an extra twist of freshness and charm

Where do you usually apply your perfume? You probably focus on the inside of your wrists, behind your earlobes or on the back of your neck, but have you ever thought of using it on your hair? Hair perfume is the new beauty obsession, that extra gesture that can make all the difference and prolong the freshness of your hair between shampoos. Just one spray and voilà: away with the smell of food that rises during dinner at the restaurant, or the smell of sweat after a strenuous sports session at the gym. The secret is to choose ad hoc formulations that are alcohol-free or contain a small dose of alcohol so as not to ruin or dry out the hair. They do not stain, are very useful and handy to keep in your handbag for instant refreshment. Plus, they often not only leave a long-lasting scent trail, but also have other functions such as polishing, moisturising, protecting, acting against humidity and frizz.

How do we choose the right fragrance for us? We can opt for the hair version of our favourite perfume, as more and more brands are making a hair-specific perfume in addition to body perfume, such as Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel or For Her by Narciso Rodriguez, otherwise we should let our nose and the season guide us. For spring and the upcoming summer, it's best to go for light, floral, fresh and sparkling scents such as citrus, rose, jasmine, orange blossom, vanilla, coconut and passion fruit. Among the insiders' favourite hair fragrances is Gypsy Water by Byredo, which, thanks to its notes of bergamot, pine, sandalwood and amber, perfectly matches the carefree but laid-back mood that is typical of the summer season. If you are looking for a fragrance that magically transports you to exotic destinations, tropical beaches and palm groves when you shake your hair, go for Brazilian Crush Cheirosa '62 by Sol de Janeiro or Do Son Hair Mist by Diptyque, which, with its blend of tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine, is said to evoke perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin's childhood on Do Son beach in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam.
