Spring. Blossom, daffodils, tulips. Bright flowers are the go-to image when our thoughts turn to spring. But what about our fragrance choices? Alice Dunn sniffs out the best perfumes for this time of year
Versace Dylan Blue (from £52)
One to see you through from spring to autumn, Versace’s Dylan Blue is a deliciously fruity affair. Think plump blackcurrants atop sharp granny smith apples with forget-me-nots twinkling in the background. A single spritz is like a walk through one of Surrey’s finest woodlands.
SYLVAiN
Prada La Femme L’Eau (from £45.50)
Light, floral and delicate, the new offering from Prada is a greener, fresher version of the hugely popular Prada La Femme fragrance. Absolutely beautiful, it’s perfect to wear during the day and into the evening.
Givenchy Live Irresistible Blossom Crush (from £42)
For the smell of pure happiness look to Givenchy Live Irresistible Blossom Crush: with notes of peony and roses, this pink bottle will bring a pop of springtime colour and sparkle to your dressing table (and a glorious freshness to your pulse points!)
Guerlain Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum Florale (from £48)
Feminine and chic, a bouquet of white flowers unfolding at dawn, Guerlain’s latest perfume is a delightful scent. It will last for a long time too, thanks to its superior Eau de Parfum status.
Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Eau Intense (from £47)
Like a breath of fresh air on a hot day, this perfume is instantly refreshing and calming. A complex scent with lemon and apple, marigold and jasmine, and amber and musk, it’s not fully floral, nor completely fruity. Impossible to define but very easy to love.
Sisley Eau de Campagne (from £55)
If your favourite smell is green grass, you will love this unisex perfume by Sisley. Sophisticated, subtle and very verdant, it’s like wearing the view from the top of Box Hill on a hazy summer day. And relax!
Serge Lutens Fleurs d’Oranger (£150)
If you favour a citrus scent, Serge Lutens Fleurs d’Oranger is the one. With hidden depths of white jasmine and tuberose, this is the ultimate ‘floriental’ perfume.
Diptyque Olene (from £70)
A trip to Italy is merely seconds away thanks to the beautiful floral notes plucked from a Venetian garden: the mix of honeysuckle, jasmine and wisteria make a lively and fresh scent. Divine.
Atelier Cologne Iris Rebelle (from £65 – out in April)
Bold, brave and bright, Iris Rebelle packs a powerful and powdery punch! Made with ingredients of 90% natural origin (including iris, orange flower and gaiac wood) this is perfume as nature intended.
