With springtime right around the corner, it’s time to say bye-bye to those rich, woody scents of the fall and winter and pick up the elements that we love the most about the most colorful season of the year—keeping everything fun, fruity, and floral.
Emphasis on the floral! From sunflowers to peonies, this season is known for its age-old love affair with some of the best smelling flowers and plants around.
While it’s totally cool to admire nature from afar, why not fully immerse yourself in it this spring by rocking a sweetly-scented floral fragrance? If you’re unsure where to start, that’s perfectly fine because we have 5 super versatile floral perfumes we think you should try.
NEST New York Black Tulip Eau De Parfum, $78
The blend of Japanese Violets and Black Amber Plum bring a much-needed sensuality to the girlish vibe of spring.
And to be honest, as grown women, most of us are not too interested in fragrances that smell too sweet or childish.
That’s why Black Tulip by NEST New York is the perfect pick for those of you looking to trade the pink and frilly side of the season in for something more seductive and mature.
Gisou Honey-Infused Hair Perfume, $83
Deliberately spraying any type of fragrance on your hair sounds sacrilegious, but we are confident that this honey-infused hair perfume from Gisou will make you a believer.
While it is made with alcohol, it’s also mixed with water and Mirsalehi honey so it’ll moisturize your hair instead of dry it out.
And that scent?
Whew! To die for. It’s soft, sweet, airy, and fully reminiscent of a beautifully fresh and sunny day in spring.
Aphrodite by Iris of the Moon, $24
Some of the best scents come in the form of skincare and this Aphrodite body oil from Iris of the Moon is proof.
Made with a nourishing blend of organic dried roses, rosemary, and coconut, this oil will leave you smelling springtime fresh and your skin feeling beyond silky.
Since it’s oil-based, you might want to steer clear of applying it to your clothes. But with just a few dabs on your pulse points—like your neck and wrists—and you’re good to go.
Queen Bee by Good Chemistry, $13
Body spray is typically different from perfume because the high water content makes it safer to spray directly on your skin.
And after you smell Queen Bee by Good Chemistry, you’ll definitely wish you could bathe in this black currant, peony, and amber-based scent.
Unlike some of these other options, this body mist is high quality but also completely budget-friendly. In fact, you should be able to find it exclusively at your local Target.
Glossier You Eau De Parfum, $98
A fragrance that can’t exactly be described because it smells different on everyone is a hard one to sell, but Glossier You pulls it off with perfect execution.
Made with creamy, musky florals like Iris and Ambrette, this scent brings both warmth and spice to spring.
The magic is that it’s meant to smell exactly like you: warm, comfy, and familiar. And so instead of you just embodying the elements of spring, it makes sure to embody you.
