Spring Scents: Embrace the Season with Fresh Fragrances

As we set our sights on sunnier skies, we’re reminded of changes to come. Spring is nothing if not the season of rebirth. There’s perhaps no better way for fragrance lovers to commemorate change than by switching up your signature scent. From floral blooms to crisp citrus notes, these spring scents are a sensory delight. Embrace the essence of spring with our curated selection of scents which are sure to sweeten up your springtime festivities.

 

Lemon Eau de Parfum No. 1999, C.O Bigelow

We paid homage to citrus and all that is bright and inviting with Lemon No. 1999— an aptly named lemon scent. Evoking pastoral imagery of the Italian countryside in its commitment to delivering us whiffs of the beloved fruit in its purest form. Lemon No. 1999 can be worn by all genders and ages and in all seasons, but especially within the ones that bid adieu to daylight savings time.

Fiori di Capri Eau de Parfum, Carthusia

Picture this: the sun emerges behind tufts of clouds. The skyline clears, revealing mossy knolls and flowers as far as the eye can see. You gather a bouquet to present to a lover, a friend, or perhaps an enemy for whom your heart has softened. Individually, the flowers are precious but pronounced, but when strung together, they produce a heavenly aroma. This brings us to Fiori Di Capri, a delightful chypre scent from legacy perfumers Carthusia.

As a brand, Carthusia needs no introduction, having established itself as the world’s smallest perfumer, dating back to 1380. Being the brand’s first fragrance, the scent is impressive in its timeless appeal and ability to surprise. A menagerie of wild carnations greets the senses, but incense and other resin notes emerge as it progresses.

Vert Desir Eau de Parfum, Veronique Gabai

Feast your eyes and nose on Vert Desir— an invigorating aromatic fragrance. The perfume designer Veronique Gabai is no stranger to creating elevated but wearable luxury scents, Vert Desir being no exception. Opening on refreshing neroli & mint, the scent soon takes a darker turn, revealing a dry absinthe note that, by the end of the wear, is washed away alongside your winter worries. Some might even go so far as to say Vert Desir transports us to another world, one free of inhibition yet filled with glory. Best suited for those who enjoy tea and herb-forward fragrance, Vert Desir offers its uncanny ability to cleanse and renew all who dare to wear it. Perhaps Vert Desir doesn’t cleanse so much as it restores a part of ourselves we didn’t know we lost. 

Jasmin XXX Eau de Parfum, ALTRA

Jasmin XXX isn’t trying to be anything it’s not, and why would it want to be? An intoxicating take on a Jasmin super dose scent, Jasmin XXX packs a punch without leaving a bruise. Loud in its staying power yet quiet in its complexity, Jasmin XXX is a deceptively simple combination of white florals and breezy bergamot, as masterfully blended as it is balanced. The scent pairs perfectly with the moments requiring a certain type of unsung bravery, like the first night the weather allows us to shed our winter coats and show a little skin. Whether it serves as a veil of protection or a reminder to live out loud, Jasmin XXX ultimately invites experience. 

Sonic Flower, Room 1015

Born as an ode to counter-culture, fragrance house Room 1015 seeks to examine the beauty in difference. Individuality is rebellion, especially presenting us with the new, impossibly dewy skin scent of Sonic Flower. The scent doesn’t bloom on the skin so much as it does boom. Opening notes of fizzy pink pepper wind down by way of its calmer white floral DNA, before arriving upon a musk-forward base. Indiscriminately compatible and decidedly unisex, Sonic Flower adapts to the wearer, making the experience immersive and personal. There’s something comforting about this scent— familiar as if it is a friend in another life. Much like spring, Sonic Flower is a sort of homecoming guided by memories of bluer skies. 

M01 + Iris Eau de Toilette, Escentric Molecules

Fresh yet powdery notes seamlessly meld with Molecule 01+ signature ever-woody iso E base, resulting in a fragrance with equal parts dimension and allure. If the word “iso-e” doesn’t ring a bell, perhaps iris does. Both notes are equally ephemeral. But this scent, much like spring, is all about the art of subtlety. Iris + Molecule 01 is a charming play upon the ambiguity of form, providing a deeply personal experience for the wearer and all lucky enough to catch a whiff. Refusing to forfeit the coziness of colder days, Iris + Molecule 01 is a perfectly soft and slightly feminine fragrance that primes wearers for growth as the seasons transition.
