We've picked our top 10 floral fragrances to freshen up for spring
We’ve rounded up some of our favourite new and classic fragrances in the market, so you can step out into the warmer weather smelling like a bouquet of flowers.
Here are our top 10 floral fragrances for spring…
Just in time for spring, this perfectly feminine scent by Miu Miu has been created with lily of the valley, cassis buds, and of course, a hint of rose. We love that it’s a great everyday scent, and the base note of musk adds just the right touch of sophistication.
Inspired by style icon Angelina Jolie, this scent by Guerlain represents the woman who is strong, free and sensual. Infused with sandalwood, jasmine, lavender and vanilla, this oriental Eau de Parfum is both fresh and spicy—and it’s sure to become a favourite in no time.
Make perfume, not war. Halifax’s The 7 Virtues sources fair market natural essential oils from nations rebuilding after war or strife. Ethically sourced, all of their fragrances are vegan, paraben-free and organic. Described as a perfume replicating the feeling of love, our pick for this season is Rose Amber, a scent made of Afghani oils, cinnamon, sandalwood, vanilla and lavender.
Here’s a quintessentially elegant fragrance that will remind you of blooming roses. We love the complementary notes of soft lily and citrusy mandarin—perfectly appropriate for longer, vibrant days under the sun.
Welcome spring with this best-selling Eau de Toilette by Philosophy that combines the scent of delicate rose petals, peony, lychee and sheer musk. Don’t worry about it being overpowering to the senses—it’s fresh, simple and a lovely everyday wear.
Oscar de la Renta’s newest perfume is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. Made for the effortlessly timeless woman, this white floral fragrance is created from an abundance of nature: dewy freesia, jasmine sambac, sandalwood, along with hints of peach skin musk, green pear, cassis and mandarin.
Here is the latest addition to the iconic Coco Mademoiselle collection. This irresistible Eau de Parfum is a rich concentration of patchouli blended with vanilla and hints of amber. If you’re looking for a slightly stronger fragrance that is both sultry and long-lasting, this one will quickly become a favourite.
We love this new scent by Coach that’s fruity, flora, and delightfully youthful. Created with a burst of citrus, pineapple sorbet and a bouquet of flowers that includes gardenia, jasmine and rose, this one is literally springtime in a bottle.
Who doesn’t love waking up to warm sunshine on a lazy Sunday morning? Give yourself that feeling all the time with this soft and fresh scent by French luxury fashion house Maison Margiela. With notes of lily of the valley, patchouli, iris and white musk, this fragrance is a must-have this season.
Just like its name implies, Gucci Bloom captures the floral essence of the season with the rich fragrances of tuberose, jasmine and rangoon creeper—a unique flower found in the South of India that gradually darkens from white to pink and then red as it blossoms. All it takes is one spritz and you’ll feel as fresh as a spring day.
