As we bid farewell to winter’s cosy layers and look forward to warmer days ahead, there’s no better way to celebrate the change of seasons than by selecting a new springtime spritz.
Whether you prefer scents that evoke soon-to-be flower-filled meadows or want a lighter, airier fragrance that perfectly captures the essence of springtime, these are the best spring fragrances for every mood and occasion from Phlur to Creed.
Issey Miyake knows how to create an instantly loveable fruity floral fragrance and this one does not disappoint. Crafted around 100 per cent responsibly-sourced Egyptian violet leaf absolute, there's an elegant powderiness at its heart that will make you want to shrug off your winter coat, with enough energy from a juicy opening of pear and a base of iris to keep it from feeling too 'twee'.
This soft and cosy fragrance took social media by storm when it first launched and, now that retailers have ordered enough to keep it in stock, you can expect it to stay a springtime essential. That's because the subtle warm of so-called 'skin scents' tends to be amplified by the fresh weather we experience in the spring.
This is a bold, modern rose scent that's really captivating on your skin. Feminine, smooth and a little bit sexy, like you've been spending time in a field of flowers, it's the type of floral fragrance that feels bold without ever being too heavy, brash, or overbearing. That makes it a great first date scent.
Creed is a perfume house that never fails to get our beauty editor compliments and Carmina is no different. Perfect for anyone who likes a sweet, playful aroma during the spring and summer, the opening of black cherry is as punchy as the heart of rose de mai and the warming base of amber. Wear it to your first outdoor event of the year.
Inspired by the fizz of a fresh bottle of ginger beer, Jo Malone London's playful scent has all the hallmarks of a great springtime spritz. It crackles into life immediately, with the lively spice of cinnamon, roasted oak and ginger providing a warmth to the skin that is energising rather than sleep-inducing.
A fresh, long-lasting cologne with an impressive oil concentration of 20 per cent, this is a fragrance that will have you dreaming of summer holidays to come. Designed to drift off your skin like a refreshing breeze, the combination of tea accord, ginger, bergamot and white flowers sees us predict it becoming a dark horse for springtime brides this year.
Vanilla fragrances are traditionally quite a wintry favourite, but they are predicted to be a surprise springtime trend this year as we look for comfort from our scents throughout the year. You can't go wrong with this classic that stops the key note feeling one dimensional with the addition of floral jasmine and pink peppercorn.
