POV: spring is in full swing, and you need to work out what scent you’ll be wearing for the next few months.
It’s time to leave behind the rich, spicy, cosy notes of winter and welcome the fresh, aquatic softness of a classic spring perfume. But to keep it completely real, a spring fragrance doesn’t always have to be powdery florals if that’s not really your thing or if you want to switch up your vibe. New season, new perfume and all that, right?
We’ve compiled the perfect assortment of the best spring fragrances (if we may say so ourselves), that’ll not only totally delight your senses but also have you feeling brand new.
So, get your basket ready, because you’re about to smell like warmth, blossoming flowers, sunshine, and new beginnings this spring.
1. KAYALI Yum Boujee Marshmallow 81 Eau De Parfum
It’s sugary, scrumptious, and dangerously tempting, KAYALI’s Yum Boujee Marshmallow 81 Eau De Parfum smells like the crowd-pleasing sweet treat you bring to the picnic. It’s the most delicious blend of pink marshmallows, whipped vanilla, raspberry sugar, and coconut flakes that serves strawberry yogurt and bonbons.
2. florence by mills Wildly Me Eau De Toilette
Fresh, clean, powdery, and just a little bit sweet, florence by mills’ Wildly Me Eau De Toilette 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. Your springtime fragrance = sorted.
3. KAYALI Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco 20 Eau De Parfum
If one of your non-negotiables for spring perfume is that it needs to be refreshing, KAYALI’s Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco 20 is the one for you, my friend. As soon as you spritz it on, a combination of banana blossom, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, and creamy coconut milk will have you feeling the warm spring vibes. Btw, the longevity of this scent is not to be underestimated as it lasts *what feels like* forever.
4. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Perfume Mist
Florals aren’t for everybody, we know. So if they’re not your thing, the Cheirosa 59 Perfume Mist might be. It’s 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, not too sweet, and basically one of the best fragrances for spring.
5. Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth EDP
From its name, we can tell that the Sabrina Carpenter Sweet Tooth EDP smells delicious, but you really have no idea. It’s made with all your sweetest cravings, like marshmallows, chocolate, whipped cream, Madagascan vanilla, and coconut milk. And don’t worry about it smelling sickly, as musk and bergamot really ground this scent to make it smell like a cup of hot chocolate (topped with fluffy marshmallows of course) without being overly sweet.
6. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68 Beija Flor™ Perfume Mist
Sol de Janeiro is a cult-favourite fragrance brand, it’s no secret. And we have to give them their due for the Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68 Beija Flor™ Perfume Mist. It’s the ultimate spring flowers perfume and the oh-so delightful notes of Brazilian Jasmine, pink dragon fruit, and sheer vanilla will tell your senses that.
7. Eilish by Billie Eilish
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, Eilish by Billie Eilish is one of THE best vanilla gourmand fragrances we’ve ever smelt. Warm but not heavy, this amber vanilla fragrance balances sweet notes of vanilla, red berries, sugar, and tonka bean with rich and spicy notes like cacao, rose, and amber. It’s the kind of compliment-catching scent you need in your collection.
8. Roberto Cavalli Signature Eau De Parfum
Sick of the typical spring fragrance notes? Roberto Cavalli’s Signature Eau De Parfum is going to be one of the best spring perfumes you’ve ever used. Expect warm, sweet, but spiciness at first spritz. Initially you’ll be hit with a kick of pink pepper and the amber-like essence of African orange blossom, followed by the creamy sweetness of vanilla, benzoin, and tonka bean. It’s unconventional but it works so well.
9. Eilish No 2 Billie Eilish
Another unconventional spring fragrance is Billie Eilish’s Eilish No. 2. It’s an earthy, fresh take on what you expect from traditional spring perfumes. A blend of bergamot, apple blossom, woody aromatic, and musk reminds us of the winter-to-warmth shift. At first glance, these notes might seem a bit too autumnal but they’re not (of course wear it for autumn too, but you’ll love it for spring).
10. Addison Rae Happy AF
Drawn to fruity scents but still want something floral? It’s the Addison Rae Happy AF for you. Think positive, happy (AF) spring vibes bottled. It strings together notes of peony, pink litchi, violet leaves, rose, musk, and sandalwood in a sweet, pleasant way that’ll have people asking you what you’re wearing all day.
11. KAYALI Yum Pistachio Gelato 33
Imagine a rich, velvety pistachio gelato melting in the sun, it’s basically KAYALI’s Yum Pistachio Gelato 33. It flips the script on your average spring perfume with nutty nuances of pistachio and hazelnut combined with the yumminess of whipped cream and fluffy marshmallows. Prepare to smell delectable.
