From vibrant florals to breezy citrus blends and sensual, earthy undertones, these olfactory masterpieces capture the essence of spring’s charm. Here’s a look at our favorites, organized by scent family, to inspire your next signature fragrance
The Romance of Florals
Few things capture the essence of spring like a bouquet of fresh blooms. If you’re enchanted by the timeless beauty of roses, Byredo’s Rose of No Man’s Land offers a delicate yet powerful take on the classic flower, evoking a garden in full bloom. Love a touch of the exotic? Gucci’s The Alchemist’s Garden A Chant for the Nymph blends frangipani and ylang-ylang for a tropical floral fantasy reminiscent of a lush paradise. Embrace modern femininity this season with Creed’s Eladaria, where a plush trio of roses mingles with radiant mandarin and soft pink pepper, all enveloped in a velvety embrace of cashmere wood and musk.
Those drawn to soft, powdery notes will fall for Parfums de Marly’s Valaya Exclusif, a scent that exudes understated elegance. Iris lovers can indulge in the velvety embrace of Christian Louboutin’s Fetiche L’Iris and Hermès’ Hiris, each offering a sophisticated take on this noble bloom. For a floral with an energetic twist, Bond No. 9’s Madison Square Park combines bright greens with blooming florals, embodying the spirit of a vibrant spring day. Looking for a scent with an unapologetic bloom? Aēsop’s Aurner is a bold fragrance with an edge, contrasting vibrant green spices with deep, herbaceous layers, while lush magnolia leaf brings in rich, velvety wood notes. Another new fragrance for spring is ANINE BING’s Rose Wood, which encapsulates the season’s arrival with bright, crisp florals and notes of smoked rose with sandalwood and raw amber.
