When the dark nights and dismal days of winter have been elbowed out by spring, we make changes to many of our routines. Out come the lighter clothes, we search for new beachwear, and we’re glad to slip our bare feet into sandals instead of heavy boots. So doesn’t it make sense to lighten and freshen up your fragrance too? Here’s my suggestions for perfect spring perfumes:
Snapshot Survey
1. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino Acqua
You’ll be hard pushed to find any perfume that is more suited to warm days than this exquisite fragrance from Tom Ford. Bursting with bundles of citrus notes, it’s so fresh you’ll want to wear it in winter too!

2. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Vita Eau De Toilette
Another scent that gives you a fresh feel with lots of citrus, but this particular fragrance is somewhat softened with Brazilian tonka bean and a dash of vanilla.

3. Byredo Gypsy Water
Byredo Gypsy Water, quite honestly, is a winner all year round, but its vanilla and sandalwood notes are perfect for any hot day.
Buy at: amazon.com
Gypsy Water is an olfactory embodiment of the bohemian spirit, weaving a tapestry of bergamot, lemon, pepper, and juniper berries at the top for a refreshing start. At its heart, the scent unfolds with layers of incense, pine needles, and orris, evoking the serenity of a forest. The dry down brings forward the amber, vanilla, and sandalwood highlighted previously, ensuring a warm, sophisticated base that lingers on the skin. Ideal for those who seek a subtle yet enchanting presence, this fragrance is a delightful companion from daybreak to dusk.
4. Lemon Mary Greenwell Parfum Spray
Nothing says spring cleaning like the scent of fresh lemons, and this Mary Greenwell fragrance has that in abundance.

With notes of juicy pear and luscious white peach, this fragrance has such a fresh and clear tone to it that it perfectly captures the essence of that period between the beginning of spring and the beginning of summer.

7. Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Eau De Toilette Spray
Just the name alone, Daisy Dream, evokes charming visions of spring, doesn’t it? Light and airy are definitely the key words here, thanks to the added notes of jasmine, grapefruit and blackberry.

8. Marni Rose Eau De Parfum Spray
This is a sophisticated springtime perfume with a dash of added oomph to make it great for evening wear during this season. A rich woody base gives it a lot of warmth.

9. Dolce & Gabbana Floral Drops Eau De Toilette
This chunky frosted glass bottle is as quaint and as delicate as the fragrance that it contains, with notes of white lily, daffodil and papaya.

10. Jo Malone Lily of the Valley & Ivy Cologne Spray
This fragrance expertly captures the illusive and delicate scent of lily of the valley and turns it in to a must-have fragrance for the transition into spring.

11. Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme
This is a really exotic smelling fragrance with unusual notes including spicy ginger, Turkish rose and Indonesian patchouli. A wonderful contrast to many of the more citrus based scents.

12. DKNY Delicious Delights
You can’t go wrong with a bit of DKNY, and this wonderful fragrance shouts spring from its fruity notes down to the quirky, colourful design of the bottle!

13. Bond No. 9 Hamptons
This scent is unisex in nature and full of woody, musky notes; perfect for any woman who doesn’t like to go too fruity or too floral.
Buy at: amazon.com
14. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium
That is something decidedly luxurious about YSL’s Black Opium, but not so much so that it cannot work as a light spring perfume too.
Buy at: amazon.com
This intoxicating blend is a modern classic, with a balance of coffee and vanilla notes that mesh elegantly with a bouquet of white flowers, creating a contemporary, vibrant scent. It's bold yet feminine, unapologetically seductive and perfect for those evenings when winter loosens its grip and the first signs of spring whisper in the air. Just a spritz of Black Opium can transition you smoothly from your cozy winter hideout to lively springtime adventures. Consider it a secret weapon in your perfume arsenal – one that's equally suited for laid-back brunches or spirited nights out.
15. Diptyque Geranium Odorata Fragrance
With a combination of woody, musky and floral notes, this fragrance is the perfect choice for both the spring and the summer months.
Buy at: amazon.com
16. Aerin Lilac Path
Floral is definitely the key word with this fragrance, with top notes being, of course, lilac along with jasmine and galbanum.
Buy at: amazon.com
17. Valentino Valentina Eau De Parfum Spray
Middle notes of orange blossom, jasmine, tuberose and wild strawberry make this fragrance an almost irresistible spring/summer choice.
Buy at: amazon.com
18. Hermes 24 Faubourg for Women
White flower with wood and more than just a hint of warm vanilla give this fragrance by Hermes a heady, addictive scent.
Buy at: amazon.com
19. Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf
A funky scent deserves a funky name, and Flowerbomb certainly delivers on both fronts with notes of orchid, jasmine and rose.
