As the snow melts in other parts of the world, a crop of Spring fragrances has also crept onto shelves to usher in a warmer weather. From delicate florals, luminous fruity scents, to sheer veils of musks, these scents are perfect additions to your routine and our equatorial weather. Here, 10 of the standout perfumes to get your hands on:
Created to depict “a rainbow garden full of sparkling and blooming flowers”, it opens with notes of Italian bitters, yuzu flowers and blackcurrants, it develops into a delicate bouquet of pink peony, jasmine and plum blossoms. Finally, its sensual base notes surface as vanilla, light woods and musk form a warm embrace around you, allowing you to emanate a positive energy that’s truly infectious.
This scent evokes the simple pleasures of springtime in the city, like taking a walk in the part and feeling the energy of a bustling metropolitan come to life as the sun rays hit the pavements. Echoing this dynamic spirit, bergamot, nectarine, magnolia, sweet pea, Ambroxan and musk intertwine for this vibrant and luminous scent.
As its name suggests, this scent is created to reflect the turn of the seasons and welcome a newfound warmth. Exalting three seemingly simple ingredients, perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud regards this combination as a “great magnetic power”. With each spritz, juicy Sicilian orange, sparkling bergamot and complex mandarin complement one another, painting the perfect picture of happy days spent in the sun, immersed in an air of immense freshness that is aromatic and incredibly uplifting.
Inspired by the purity of morning dew, this refreshing scent counts pear and honey accents as its juicy top notes, before it develops to unveil a clean and crisp facet of the rose. Eventually, it settles so that the sandalwood, cashmeran and ambergris accords start to facet, reflecting the warmth of Spring’s morning sun.
Created by perfumers Yann Vasnier and Louise Turner as an homage to the unexpected beauty of nature, each fragrance from the Wild Flower & Weeds Collection is an amalgamation of seemingly contrasting ingredients. Our favourite is Willow & Amber, which contains cashmere wood, smoky vetiver and sensual amber to perfectly capture the simplicity of weeping willow swaying in the morning breeze, gently caressing the surface of the water.
There’s nothing more joyful than this bright and sunny scent. Featuring luminous orange blossoms, sunkissed gold raspberries and solar musks, you’re immediately transported to a happy place from the moment you spritz this on, one where optimism overflows and a carefree spirit is embraced.
Every bit the perfect representation of the Miu Miu girl, this scent is a melange of Vert de Bergamot, apple blossom, cedarwood and pink amber. This surprising blend culminates in a mesmerising blend that is floral, fresh and sophisticated all at once.
As Chanel perfumer, Olivier Polge’s latest creation, 1957, tells the story of the success that Mademoiselle enjoyed in America, including gaining fame and fortune, as well as her now-iconic Chanel’s NYC flagship. In true Chanel fashion, this elegant scent reveals itself in subtle layers and showcases the versatility and depth of eight accords of white musks. Seamlessly complemented by woody, sweet, spicy and floral accents, it leaves an understated yet complex trail on your skin.
Reflecting Narciso Rodriguez’s refined and restrained design aesthetics, the black and white bottle is clean and sleek, hinting at the purity and simplicity of the fragrance it holds. With musc at the heart of it, a blend of jasmine, orange blossom, amber, cashmeran and patchouli subtly teases the senses as they add depth, warmth and sensuality to it without ever straying into a brazen display of sexuality.
This glamorous scent opens with an exhilarating blend of cherry liquor, lychee and Italian mandarin. As the night progresses, peony, orris concrete, creamy vanilla and tonka bean add an extra touch of sensuality and mystery, making it perfect for a night out!
