Spring perfumes - what are you fancying this year?

[Lottapianos]

I know it's still Winter, but I'm getting a bit bored of my smoky, leathery perfumes and looking forward to something a bit lighter and fresher over the next few months. What Spring scents do you enjoy? Share old classic favourites or new releases that you fancy trying

Molecule 01 + Mandarin, a fantastic juicy orange with a lasting woody depth. I love it.

Plus Jo's Rhubarb from Zara, so light and fresh and zingy.

I love spring for perfume - I hardly wear it in winter, but always look forward to light, fresh scents in spring.

Perfumes are such a personal thing aren’t they? A while ago I ordered a taster set from 4160 Tuesdays after seeing so many positive comments on here. I was so disappointed as I didn’t like any of them. It wasn’t even that they were ok, I found them unbearable. There must be something in all of them that I just couldn’t get on with. Was a real shame as I was so excited about them!

@BaconAndAvocado hi! you buy the samples/taster sets from the site but you have to go to "shop" and scroll down until you come to Other Lovely Things and you'll see taster sets listed.

Oh and PP dupe of kilian Love

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc and Molton Brown Flora Luminaire this year and then into Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess which is my summer staple

So true. What a shame about the 4160 Tuesdays samples

I know people are mentioning beachy, sandy scents like Bronze Goddess etc but to me they are more July / August perfumes. In Spring, I want white flowers, and green scents and freshness, and soapy, powdery smells. I bought Prada Infusion d'Iris last Spring and loved it

I have just ordered Givenchy Irresistable as my Spring scent.

Liz Earle Botanical Essences no20 is one I always wear in Spring- good sized bottle too - 100ml.

Sorry, only 50ml. Seems to have lasted ages though!

Oh no! I've had a taster set delivered to my parents in the UK as I live abroad and I'm looking forward to collecting them on my next visit. I really hope I like them.

Thanks all. On the market for a new perfume 😀

Well keep an open mind about 4160 Tuesdays. There are over 60 fragrances so if you don't like a few, that sounds about normal. I'm a big fan of the brand ( and Sarah McCartney is a friend) but I don't like all of them. They're all very different. For example you have Meet me on The Corner which a wonderful citrussy chypre then you've got Over The Chocolate Shop which couldn't be more different. Personally, I like all the ones with roses in.

I'm a lover of classic perfumes and amongst others I feel like wearing Diorissimo and Eau d'Issey for spring. Both have a lovely lily of the valley scent. I also like Eternity by Calvi Klein. I was wearing Chanel No 19 EDT today and that feels springlike to me as well, as does Chanel Cristalle. My beloved Shalimar will be put lovingly away until September.

I agree with these and also love Miss Dior and Diorella. The classics are the best.

French Lime Blossom by Jo Malone is my absolute favourite spring perfume. As soon as I smelled it I knew I would wear it forever, it lifts my mood and makes me feel like a spring goddess!

I really want Perfumer H (Lyn Harris) Gold & 🍋 tree - fantastic Citrus's but I need to save up for them first.
Spring scents for me are Diorissimo, Cristalle edp, Fleur du Matin by Miller Harris, Private Collection vintage, Private Collection White Moss & Jasmin, Safari, Ffern Summer 19 & Ffern Spring & Summer 20. Anything green, with Galbanum in and pungent will do the trick.

I always struggle to find a spring scent. I always search for a green musky dry down scent - not that floral. I have memories of VW Sin Garden - now discontinued. Would love to find something like that.
I quite like the green Chanel Chance but it has terrible projection and longevity on me.
I'm toying with ordering Cabotine for a trip down memory lane but not sure I want that much projectiin and longevity

'I'm toying with ordering Cabotine for a trip down memory lane but not sure I want that much projectiin and longevity grin'.

Oh wow. Used to adore Cabotine. Had forgotten all about it. Thanks for the reminder!

If anyone, @MissBattleaxe
can recommend a green opening musky dry down, maybe with iris thrown in too, would love to hear recommendations. I have the perfect Autumn scent (NR for her), the perfect winter scents (Replica BTF and TF Lost Cherry) and summer scents (Light Blue intense and Neroli Portofino) - I can never find a signature spring scent.

@Lottapianos
Ha ha. I’m a bit scared 😱. It’s a heavy hitter for sure - I wore it in the mid 90s - not sure if it will be too much for now but may give it a whirl for old times sake - I can be 25 again

@JMAngel1 I saw the Bat Signal. You rang? I have just the thing. Dolce by Dolce and Gabbana. Beautiful green fragrance with a pretty white musk base.

. I knew you’d come good @MissBattleaxe
Off to sniff tomorrow. Thank you 😊

'Dolce by Dolce and Gabbana'

Going to investigate. Thanks!

Ooh, I have a bottle of Cabotine! I must dig it out and add it to my list for spring.
