The 13 Best Fragrances POPSUGAR Editors Will be Spritzing This Spring

Best spring fragrances

As the mornings get lighter and the rain eases off, a spring season filled with an Aperol spritz (or three) in the park or pub garden starts to feel close enough to touch. Springtime is getting so close, we can smell it – and that’s because we’ve added some new spring perfumes to our lineup and dug out a few of our old favourites.

We’re waving a temporary goodbye to the tobacco, leather, and woody notes that have helped us get through the darkness of winter and switched them out for fresher scents. Instead, we turn to light lavender, botanical jasmine, and feminine rose to embrace the much-anticipated return of blooms and greenery.

Beauty brands have been busy creating new scents that have fast become obsessions of ours, including Jo Malone’s Yellow Hibiscus Cologne and Valentino’s Born In Roma Yellow Dream Donna. But we’re also clutching onto the classics, including Tom Ford’s Private Blend Lavender Extrême and Marc Jacobs Daisy.

And we can’t ignore the beautiful bottles housing the sweet scents. With this selection, the array of pastel hues with small, sweet details will brighten up any bathroom cabinet or vanity – not to mention our moods. Read on to see which fragrances the POPSUGAR editors will be spritzing all spring long.

Jo Malone

Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Cologne

If you want a new scent that reminds you of your happy place, allow English Pear & Freesia Cologne ($159) to be just that. It’s bright and juicy with notes of ripe pears and white freesia, yet mellow and woody with notes of amber and patchouli.

Tom Ford

Tom Ford Private Blend Lavender Extrême Eau de Parfum

Light years away from the lavender you might find at your grandma’s house, Tom Ford made the scent luxurious, new, and a little outrageous with Tom Ford Private Blend Lavender Extrême Eau de Parfum ($520). And if nothing else, the platinum-coloured bottle housing the beautiful scent is nothing short of incredible.

MECCA

Replica, Springtime in a Park

Replica’s soft fruit and floral fragrance take you for a walk through a springtime idyl. “Springtime in a Park” ($194) summons olfactory visions. Imagine a garden full of blossoming bergamot, lily of the valley, damask rose and jasmine, pear trees loaded with fruit and juicy blackcurrant hanging on the vine. With a base of vanilla, ambrox and musk the dry down is surprisingly sensual. Imagine a sunny picnic, followed by some afternoon delight.

Clean

Clean Reserve Lush Fleur Eau de Parfum

Clean Reserve Lush Fleur Eau de Parfum ($160) is a bright and beautiful floral scent. The heart of the scent is a pretty floral bouquet of gardenia, jasmine, and Damask rose, which is balanced with fruity top notes of bergamot, mandarin, and raspberry), and given a hint of sensuality with the addition of musk and vanilla in the base. The result? A fragrance so sparkly and sheer, it smells and feels like a light spring breeze.

MECCA

Byredo Mojave Ghost Eau de Parfum

“Sparkly” is the best way to describe Byredo Mojave Ghost Eau de Parfum ($245), one of the brand’s classic and unique scents. The fragrance is airy and sexy at the same time, which is the result of a mingling of powdery, citrusy notes like violet, magnolia, and Jamaican naseberry (which evokes a “fine tequila” according to the brand), with heady sandalwood and a woody, musky base.

Gucci

Gucci, Guilty Pour Femme Eau De Parfum

With top notes of bergamot and grapefruit, middle notes of violet and jasmine, and base notes of musk and patchouli, Gucci, Guilty Pour Femme Eau De Parfum ($159)  is the perfect transition scent. Even better, you can match with your loved one thanks to Gucci Guilty Pour Homme, ($214) or just be super-indulgent and nab both for yourself.

Hermes

Hermes, Twilly d'Hermès Eau Poivrée Eau de Parfum

Twilly d’Hermès Eau Poivrée, EDP ($220) is not too sweet thanks to a definite punch of spice courtesy of the pink peppercorn, rose, and patchouli notes mingled throughout. Oh, and the bottle – which currently sits proudly at our desk – practically screams spring, while the printed ribbon it comes with often decorates our wrist.

Lancôme

Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal Eau de Parfum

Housed in dazzling prismatic bottle, Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Soleil Cristal Eau de Parfum ($164) is all about warmth and radiance – something we could all use after the grey, rainy winter months we’ve just experienced. Following the theme of the warm sun and of luminosity, the perfume itself centres around a bouquet of floral white notes, that are blended with sparkling mandarin, creamy vanilla, and sensual patchouli to create a fragrance that’s easy to love – and hard to resist.

Guerlain

Guerlain Mon Guerlain Sparkling Bouquet Eau de Parfum

We can’t get enough of the newest addition to the iconic Mon Guerlain collection, the Guerlain Mon Guerlain Sparkling Bouquet Eau de Parfum ($252). It’s simultaneously juicy and creamy, thanks to the delectable combination of pear and vanilla, whilst the addition of lavender and jasmine notes help to smooth and refine the overall composition. Overall, it’s sexy, pretty, and something we want to wear every day of the week this spring.

Dior

Miss Dior Rose n'Roses Eau de Toilette

Miss Dior Rose n’Roses Eau de Toilette ($148) is bright, breezy, and sweet. Dior describes this scent as an “endless field of flowers”, and we’ve got to agree. As the name suggests, it features rose (and a lot of it), plus bergamot and white musk, making the gorgeous floral ultrafeminine and sophisticated.

Valentino

Valentino Born In Roma Yellow Dream Donna Eau de Parfum

Valentino Born in Roma got a new iteration: Yellow Dream Donna ($105), which is light, vibrant, sweet, and musky. It contains top notes of bergamot and lemon, middle notes of rose and peony, and base notes of white musk and vanilla, which makes for one beautiful perfume. Although it’s not an incredibly strong fragrance, the scent is long-lasting.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette

It wouldn’t be a spring fragrance roundup without Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette ($138). As the name suggests, it’s light, sweet, unfussy, and fun. Described as a “free-spirited” scent, when this comes out to play, you know it’s time for outdoor springtime fun.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Dew Eau de Parfum

Powdery, refreshing, with plenty of fresh florals, Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Dew Eau de Parfum ($245) is a new iteration of the brand’s iconic Flowerbomb perfume. The new “Dew” version promises to almost be like a “second skin”, with its warm notes of cashmere and musk.
