Not to be dramatic, but New York City summers can be brutal. Between the high temperatures and higher humidity, getting anywhere in the months of July and August means a sweaty sheen is all but expected. On particularly spicy days, a humbling amount of body odor is too. A good deodorant is, of course, key, but there's one product you should swap in this summer when you want your signature scent to truly last all day: perfume oil.
Perfume oils are much more concentrated than your standard eau de parfums, and that high concentration not only means you need a lotless to get the same aromatic intensity, but they last longer on your skin too. And, because the formulas are so potent and you only need a couple of drops, they're sold in much smaller bottles or rollerballs, making them ideal for on-the-go and way more affordable. Wins all around.
