As the year reaches mid-spring, the desire to refresh one’s signature scent closely follows. Feeling the rising temperatures of April and May, swapping out the muskier scents of winter for the breeziness of spring is a sure-fire way to stay stylish with the passage of time. Feel free to gain inspiration from the scent list below!
Citrus
A classic scent of the warmer months, citrus (or mandarin) is an excellent way to kick-start the spring season. Zesty, refreshing and memorable, a citrusy perfume is perfect for those seeking a pop of vivacity.
Recommendations: Tom Ford Taormina Orange, Guerlain Mandarine Basilic, Phlur Honey Moon
Florals
Another classic referencing the bloom of spring, florals are a delicate introduction into the warmer seasons. Whether it be Turkish roses or jasmine blossoms, the softer nature of such scents are an excellent choice for those seeking a gentle integration into spring.
Recommendations: Mugler Alien Pulp, Byredo Sister Dreamer, Ferragamo Signorina Romantica
Green notes
Leaning towards unisexuality, the crisp but subtle nature of green notes enables its application to any gender. Intensely invoking the outdoors, popular new scents include tethered leather and basil leaves, all bringing a sense of sophistication to its wearer.
Recommendations: Tory Burch Sublime, YSL Libre Berry Crush, Essential Parfums Bois Impérial
Light Fruits
Sweet and sparkly, light fruits are a brighter alternative to the more demure scents mentioned above. Popular scents include peach, raspberries and apples, all of which bring a sense of easy vibrancy onto their wearer.
Recommendations: LoveShackFancy Sweetheart, Kayali Eden Sweet Peach, Emporio Armani Power of You
Soft musks
Contrasting from their winter counterpart, soft musks evoke a sense of airy pristine, and are softer on the skin upon application. Trendy new scents include blonde wood, amber and sandalwood, and would be recommended for those seeking an elegant new fragrance.
Recommendations: Diptyque L'Eau Papier, Phlur Soft Spot, Tsu Lange Yor By Your Side
When it comes to choosing a new spring scent, authenticity is an absolute must. Individuals should take the changing of the seasons as a sign to be open and experiment with a variety of scents to find their best match.
