The sun is out, temperature is gradually rising, days are longer, flowers are in bloom, and everywhere you look it’s green, green, and greener. You know it… spring has finally sprung back after a long, frigid winter. It’s the time to pack up those heavy coats and sweaters; put away the boots, scarves and beanies. Lucky us, spring is laid back and aeasy on the wardrobe and not as complicated as winter is when you’ve got layer after layer on and quite possibly inches of snow (depending on where you are) that you just have to walk about in those all too awkward uggs. For one thing, spring lets us exercise our fashion discretion and we get to wear what we want for what feels like forever. Obviously, the weather affects pretty much every single detail and alters our choices on the daily, and we’re no stranger to choosing the perfect spring perfume to match the vibrant mood.
Season of Transition
In pleasant weather, freshness and subtlety will do the trick when it comes to picking the right fragrance. While the ladies tend to reach for their light and sparkling florals, our gentlemen much prefer green, fresh scents with a cloud of citrus. As with everything else we consume, there are plenty of choices in the market when it comes to perfume and it can get overwhelming. That’s why we’ve rounded up our top 5 picks for spring fragrances that you might want to try out!

We’ve all probably heard about songs of fire and ice. But did you know about the fragrance that was born between ice and fire? One look at the gorgeous bottle and you’ll understand what we’re talking about. Take the expressway to the clouds with the round, musky essence of Liyoli. White rose kissed by the tart rays of Yuzu does wonders on a clear sunny spring day! With the ever-fickle spring season, we normally take things as they come. Some days you’re bouncing about with adrenaline driven by the much-awaited warmth of the sun; some days you’d like to lay calm and low with the light drizzle. Keep in mind that spring calls for a soother,
lighter scent. It cannot be stressed more than enough: subtlety is the key… it will give you that “second skin” impression that everyone loves. Besides, even if you spritz sparingly and feel that the scent has evaporated throughout the day, you can always touch up before you step out for the evening. Overall, unlike other seasons, spring fragrances has the rare luxury of being in between fresh and warm… or both, honestly. Anything that starts off light and dries down a little dense is workable, as long as you don’t go overboard. The best spring perfume will always be one that enhances that cheerful atmosphere that the season brings, so give our picks a shot and see what works best for you.
