How we chose
We rank perfumes by what they share with these families, keeping only well-known ones rated 3.8 or more from at least 300 votes:
- floral
- rose
- woody
- fruity
- iris
- white floral
- powdery
- citrus
Once readers have reported enough wear at this temperature, measurement replaces the editorial pick and is marked “Measured”, with the count.
Help us measure
Worn it in our heat? Tell us how long it lasted
Every report becomes a real number: how long this perfume lasts in fierce heat, and in an air-conditioned office. Once enough arrive, it shows “Measured” instead of “Editorial”.
- Pick a perfume you wore
- How many hours, and where
- We add that day’s temperature
