Meet the new season scents putting a spring in our step
The sun is out, leaves are growing on the trees and flowers are blooming. Spring is finally here. At this time of year, the change in season means nature goes through an effortless switch-up. So, after a long, cold winter, it seems only right that we do the same with our fragrances. Spring perfume scents are generally fresh, floral and light – the perfect way to be.
Whether you had a signature scent for winter or not, changing your fragrance for spring is an easy way to give yourself a refresh as you step into the new season. It’s a bit like a spring clean for your senses if you will. It’s time to say goodbye to those woody, spicy notes that carried you through the chilly days and dark nights by welcoming in some floral perfumes for the longer, warmer evenings. If you prefer something with a bit more of an edge, there are plenty of fruity citrus notes that are perfect for day-to-day wear.
Designed to put a spring in your step, here are the new season fragrances that we’re wearing as we come out of our cocoons and start spending more time outside again. Why not try layering a couple to make your scent even more unique? Whether you’re prepping for picnics in the park, dinner outside at dusk or a sunkissed walk along the seafront, there’s a scent for every activity.
