With the end of winter near, it’s officially time to turn your attention to spring fragrance. Say goodbye to heavy, spicy, sensual scents and welcome fresher blends of floral and citrus.
Here are seven of the best new scents to have on your radar in the coming months.
Both bold and ultra-feminine, this powerful fragrance highlights the mouth-watering notes of orange blossom and patchouli. An ambery floral chypre, at the heart of the perfume is two types of beautiful rose: Turkish rose absolute and Bulgarin rose, offset by Labanese neroli and mandarin essence. At the base, exotic patchouli and creamy sandalwood essence blends with amber and vanilla.
The Body Shop White Musk Flora EDT
A sensual, aromatic, floral chypre scent from The Body Shop, this eau de toilette is made with community trade organic alcohol from Brazil. This carries the fragrance compounds, slowly releasing the aroma as it evaporates.
Graceful in every aspect, this subtle yet luminous scent evokes the pleasures of springtime in the city. Described as sophisticated but equally urban, Jimmy Choo Floral is a radiant expression of femininity with the floral, fruity and musky notes.
Elizabeth Arden White Tea Wild Rose EDT Spray
This sweet and delicate floral fragrance is nuanced with freshness. It features top notes of refreshing white tea and pear, heart notes of rose and peony, and finally base notes of radiant musks, tonka bean and sheer amber.
Boucheron Quatre En Rouge represents bold femininity, expressed in a dewy floral scent. This sensual, fruity floral includes top notes of delicate bergamot and fresh mandarin. Crisp and juicy notes of blackcurrant, red apple and raspberry follow, mixed with the mysterious woody character of patchouli essence.
Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Rose&Rose EDP
A rose fragrance for the modern woman, this perfume heroes two versions of rose: the precious centifolia and the addictive yet delicate Bulgarian rose. This rosy flair is complemented by dazzling pink pepper and a fruity hit of raspberry and pear. The rosy and fruity notes are left behind with an intense essence of patchouli, gentle ambrox and cashmeran at the base.
Narciso Rodriguez NARCISO EDT Rouge
Airy, radiant and intoxicating, this fragrance opens with musc before transforming to an exquisite floral bouquet of lily of the valley and roses. Warm woody notes of tonka bean and black and white cedars finish off this scent, giving it vibrancy.
