Like Spring flings — with their irresistible mystery, undeniable thrill, and fleeting nature — the newest in perfumes [1] will give you a rush that you will think about well after the season is over. And just as in hooking up, when it comes to picking out the scent that is just right for you, remember that you have options (and a ton of them).
The fragrances that are rolling out in beauty aisles this Spring are deliciously fruity, fresh, and flowery, and hell — they're going to make you want to take your clothes off. (OK, that's also partly because Winter is finally over.) While this is certainly the season to break out these particular scent profiles, your favourite brands might surprise you in how they've broken the mold in different ways. They are introducing unexpected takes on classic floral scents (like one that one will change your mind about a bouquet of peonies [2]). They will wrap your bodies in the sexiest warm musks. Some will even transport you to the holiday of your dreams, bringing to life the smells of a Provence countryside, where you might find the sweetest figs or secret gardens to get lost in, or take you on a tropical getaway where all you have to worry about is which citrus daiquiri you want.
These ornate bottles — which, with their vivid pinks, purples, and golds, are reminiscent of the most gorgeous sunset you've ever seen — encase more than just these beautiful scents. They also hold the memories you'll be making while wearing the scents these next few months. So onward! Check out our favourite perfumes this season — the ones you'll want to stick with forever . . . or at least until the end of Summer.
