The longer, warmer days of Spring usher in a desire for a playful fragrance and, really, a whole new wardrobe of coveted items for the season, including a beauty haul. While makeup for eyes, lips and cheeks morph to wispier, more lightweight textures and luminous metallic hues, the scents of the moment are decidedly powerful pops of sensual aroma, heightened by the unbridled mood of the season. Here, fresh favourites — many interpretations from iconic fashion brands — worth a second spritz. One may even become your new signature!
Brunello Cucinelli
Like lines of poetry, hints of violet and cumin unfold in Brunello Cucinelli’s Sogno Notturno Perfume, one of six gorgoeus scents in the Italian fashion house’s Incanti Poetici fragrance collection.
Gucci
Zingy bergamot and mandarin notes give The Alchemist’s Garden Fiori di Neroli a hyper-fresh start that softens into orange flower and jasmine.
Prada
A liquid interpretation of the Italian fashion house’s clever prints, Infusion de Rhubarbe Eau de Parfum melds green mandarin, rhubarb and rose.
Sage & Salt
Inspired by the energy of the full moon, Luna Absolute Extrait de Parfum, part of the first fragrance duo launched by Sage & Salt, is rich in mystical notes of pink pepper, cardamom and palo santo.
Jil Sander
Subtly sweet and sultry, Jil Sander Miel smells like buckwheat honey blended with vetiver and cedar wood.
Tom Ford
With an increased dose of leather and the new addition of fir balsam and roasted tonka bean, Fucking Fabulous Parfum is even sexier than the original cult favourite fragrance.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Good vibes in a spritz! With playful notes reminiscent of the tutti fruity candies of perfumer Francis Kurkdjian’s youth plus white musk and sandalwood, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Kurky Eau de Parfum is a grown-up take on lighthearted fun.
Marc Jacobs
Banana blossom, jasmine and amber in Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild Eau So Intense Eau de Parfum combine for a waft straight out of a fantasy.
Diptyque
Be transported to the Parisian jazz club of the mid 20th century via the intoxicating fragrances of tobacco, smoky cedar, juniper berries reminiscent of gin and sexy, creamy tonka in Diptque Orphéon.
Les Eaux Primordiale
Vanille Supermassive from intellectual French newcomer Les Eaux Primordiales laces vanilla with sensual, earthy patchouli and musk for a unique, sophisticated twist on the traditional gourmand.
Carolina Herrera
An amped-up version of the fragrance original, Very Good Girl Elixir is an intense cocktail of black cherry, vanilla and amber.
Christian Louboutin
The marriage of powdery rose and juicy cherry make for an unabashedly sexy aura surrounding Christian Louboutin’s Fétiche La Rose Eau de Parfum.
Jordan Samuel
Notes of sugary almond in Cortile Dolce from Jordan Samuel Skin mingle with bracing lime leaf to conjure memories of a sun-soaked holiday in Sicily, the favourite destination of brand founder Jordan Samuel Pacitti.
U Beauty
Hyper-feminine and multi-faceted, Proem, the first fragrance from U Beauty lushly layers rose with fruity and earthy notes.
