Please could I get your suggestions for perfumes that you consider good for Spring or that you wear during the spring months. Thank you ☺️

Jo Malone, Blackberry & Bay is a favourite of mine for spring.

addicted2spaniels · 16/02/2021 22:22

My lighter scented perfumes are Joy by Dior, Tiffany EDP, J'Adore in Joy by Dior, and Burberry Brit for her. Dior Addict (the pink one) is also a really nice light delicate floral with a hint of something a bit different.

DD has just got a bottle of Mon Paris by YSL which is really nice, and La Vie Est Belle En Rose which is a sweeter smelling rose based scent.

Chanel No 19 is my go-to spring fragrance.

Destinyknown · 16/02/2021 22:27

@alanpartridgefromtheoasthouse I absolutely love Chanel no 19 ♥️

I've just bought a bottle of Guy Laroche Fidji and it's a perfect spring fragrance. I also recommend 4160 Tuesdays Meet Me on The Corner which is wonderfully citrusdy like a 70s chypre. Avon Eve Truth is another light and airy fragrance that reminds me of Marc Jacobs Daisy and is only £12.

I've just bought L'occitane Herbae for spring. Really fresh, green floral fragrance.

Jampot1 · 16/02/2021 22:38

MissBattle where did you get the Fiji perfume from please?

MissBattleaxe · 17/02/2021 01:19

Fragrance Direct. They've currently got the EDP!

StepOutOfLine · 17/02/2021 06:45

You can get Fidji from Allbeauty usually and other online retailers. It's still a beautiful, soft, classy,sweet perfume. It's in my spring/summer box.

I agree with Chanel 19 and when I change my fragrance wardrobe to spring/summer others that feature heavily are:

Cristalle/Liz Earle 1/Yardley Jade/Annick Goutal eau du sud (I list these together as they share the crisp almost sour citrus note)

4160 Tuesdays Ealing Green- I like very very few of their perfumes as I find them overall too sweet for me, but this is just perfect

Annick Goutal Eau d' Hadrien

Dioressence

Mary Greenwell Lemon (not sure if you can still pick this up from the fragrance shop- it is more of a chypre than an out and out lemon and imo was poorly named)

And about 30 others (it's a big wardrobe Grin) but those are my go-tos.

Another vote for Jo Malone blackberry and bay, it’s gorgeous! Also English pear and freesia

Juancornetto · 17/02/2021 07:50

Chanel 19 and Dune

Melange99 · 17/02/2021 08:02

Guerlain Herba Fresca

Gosh I remember Fidji! Loved it! I remember reading a book on perfume and they absolutely slated it! I thought "What do you know, huh!"

Flyonawalk · 18/02/2021 15:35

Creed Fleurissimo. Or Love In White also by Creed. Lightly floral and breezy.

lookdeepintotheparka · 18/02/2021 16:50

Gosh so many!! My absolute favourite spring fragrance is Narciso Rodriguez Fleur Musc. I feel its literally like wearing a bouquet of flowers!

I've also just bought Liz Earle No 20 (with that amazing LE deal) which is a really pretty rose scent.

Yardley Jade is another go-to of mine for spring. It's a dupe for Chanel Christalle - very green and floral.

Can't wait for Spring now Grin

Spied · 18/02/2021 16:54

Paul Smith Rose
Ghost sweetheart
Ghost Purity

MissBattleaxe · 18/02/2021 17:07

@Deathraystare then we both great taste! Usually you can only find Fidji in EDP form but its' on allbeauty and fragrance direct as an edp at the moment- very rare to see this!

@lookdeepintotheparka Unfortunately Yardley Jade and Chanel Cristalle have both been discontinued. I loved them!

@lookdeepintotheparka I think the Yardley one is still being sold, but called Flora Jade. It's the same. Seems to be available still.

Melange99 · 18/02/2021 17:40

Sorry, meant to tag @MissBattleaxe too to previous post.

MissBattleaxe · 18/02/2021 19:39

No Flora Jade is different. It's more like Cristalle EAU vert

Melange99 · 18/02/2021 20:14

Thank you for the clarification @MissBattleaxe.

I have never smelt the Chanel perfumes (Christalle) or the original Jade so cannot comment on them, I have the Flora Jade I think. I bought it on a whim in Boots not realising there was any duping going on.

This review thinks the two Jade versions are very similar if someone is craving the original.

Cristalle is available on the Origines perfume website in the 100 ml bottle format for ~£85 . I recently ordered it , since Brexit and wasn't charged any extra fees. I've ordered lots of times from this website before and it's reliable.
My go-too's for Spring are Miller Harris Fleur Du Matin ( discontinued) & Cristalle ... plus Calycanthus by Acca Kappa which is still available .

teta · 18/02/2021 20:19

I echo the Fidji Edp is gorgeous (I was tipped off by @MissBattleaxe). I've just bought two bottles ( one was from DD for my birthday).

Chickydoo · 18/02/2021 20:21

White Linen, Estée Lauder. Fresh & clean, perfect for spring
