Whilst it's near impossible too get more than 3 days of heat in a calender year in these parts. Ireland is currently undergoing yet another heatwave 😂😂😂 My collection is mainly built around winter fragrances which I love, but I do have a few good ones that work in high heat. Problem now is, they are getting more attention that usual and I find myself looking for more options. My question is, what's your go to high heat fragrance?

What fragrance has a permanent place in your collection? Like if you used it up, you would replace it? Or if it was reformulated or discontinued you would buy multiple backup bottles. For me, that would be Tom Ford Black Orchid and Byredo Gypsy Water. What’s yours?

Fragrances aren’t necessary. Multiple millions have lived in human history without wearing a single one. Fragrances are at best accoutrements. But to collectors and aficionados, they are pleasant and desirable accoutrements. Within those qualifications, we can speak of Ride or Die fragrances — the last we’d part with. I’ve pared my list to 25, ordered alphabetically. Perhaps you have your own 25 Ride or Die list.
