Florals for spring may not be groundbreaking, but there’s something about brighter days that has us leaning towards 

Fig, mandarin, bergamot, and cherry may not sound like the obvious candidates for notes in a spring perfume, but trust us, it works. If you’re drawn to fruity scents, but still want something floral for spring, this fragrance is the best of both worlds, with the rich, vibrant fruity notes layered against sweet, light florals like honeysuckle and iris. It’s warm, but not heavy, and the floral notes really reveal themselves as time wears on.

Fresh, clean, powdery, and just a little sweet, this scent delivers all the spring vibes via a blend of bergamot, sage, iris, and violet. While plenty of spring perfumes describe themselves as ‘uplifting’, this one really is. Spritz it on in the morning for a welcome energy boost.

Instead of a the clasic floral that you might expect based on its name, this scent delivers a citrus hit when first sprayed onto skin. However, the loud notes of orange, lemon, and apricot blossom give away to softer florals—jasmine and neroli—and a warm, woody base of amber and cedar. The best part? It’s the kind of fragrance you can still smell on your skin long after you’ve showered.

If you’re not a fan of florals, then you’re in the right place. This is a gourmand fragrance which, in true Sol de Janeiro form, smells almost edible. It centres around a blend of vanilla, orchid, sugar, violet, and sandalwood—the result is creamy, powdery, and not too sweet.

A fruity top note of blackcurrant sounds almost autumnal, but narcissus and jasmine keep this fragrance balanced, fresh, and spot on for spring wear.

This is a warm, musky floral which perfectly captures the transition from spring to summer with a cocktail of notes including peach, pear, yuzu, and tea. It’s sparkling, sweet, and impossible to dislike.
