A New Spring Fragrance Is the Ultimate Flex
A change in seasons offers one of the best opportunities to pick your new signature scent. As you begin curating your spring wardrobe, don’t overlook your fragrance rotation — why not add in a new fragrance or two?
Warmer weather opens the door to lighter scents, shaking things up from the heavy (but delicious) gourmands many of us reach for during the winter. It’s sort of like trading in your wool Acne Studios coat for a STORY MFG chore jacket.
To help you start your spring fragrance journey, we’ve rounded up our favorite perfumes for the season.

Safran Secret - Maison Crivelli
Concentration: Extrait de Parfum
Release Year: 2025
Notes: N/A
Editor's Notes: You know that unresolved situation from years ago — the one that suddenly resurfaces, throwing everything into chaos, only for you to rekindle what feels like a long-lost love? That’s the essence of Maison Crivelli’s latest release.
Safran Secret is a reissue of the elusive Ingredients 07/2012, and that’s not a bad thing. While the official notes remain a mystery, there’s a clear oud presence, laced with saffron, spices, green accords, and a touch of sweetness. It’s one of the greenest ouds out there — luxuriously woody with a warm, spicy edge.
New York Flowers - Bond 9
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Release Year: 2023
Notes: kir royal, green anjou pears, clementine, Grasse rose, jasmine, iris,
Editor's Notes: Florals? For spring? It’s not the most groundbreaking proposition, but hear me out. New York Flowers smells like Manhattan in late April — loud Sunday champagne brunches full of champagne, strolls through a blossoming Central Park, and nights spent gallery-hopping in TriBeCa.
Milano - Fragrance Du Bois
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Release Year: 2020
Notes: orange, thyme, Italian saffron, Sicilian bergamot, fruity notes, frankincense, jasmine, amber, musk, vanilla, woody notes
Editor's Notes: Does this bottle capture the spirit of Milan? Absolutely — but more like Milanese nightlife in Spring. Think of strolling through the vibrant yet romantic streets of Navigli, dressed in your favorite leather Bottega pants. The opening is bright and citrusy, but as it settles, it deepens into something warm, moody, and undeniably seductive, thanks to that rich leather base.
7 Cobalt - LOEWE
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Release Year: 2025
Notes: sage, frankincense absolute, clove, pink pepper, vetiver, black currant, tonka bean
Editor's Notes: This isn’t spring break in Miami—it’s spring break off the coast of Cozumel. Blue scents usually play it safe—clean, fresh, and crowd-pleasing (think Bleu de Chanel). But LOEWE flips the script, layering in depth with fruity, herbal, and woody undertones. It’s crisp yet carries an expensive, rugged edge. Honestly, it might be the least mass-appealing blue fragrance I’ve ever come across—and that’s exactly why I love it.
Ta'if Elixir - Ormonde Jayne
Concentration: Extrait de Parfum
Release Year: 2019
Notes: dates, pink pepper, saffron, freesia, jasmine, orange blossom, Taif rose, amber, broom, Cambodian oud
Editor's Notes: Ta'if Elixir has the energy of a hidden teahouse you stumble upon while wandering through your city. For an oud-based fragrance, it’s surprisingly airy—floral, gently spiced, with just enough funk and smokiness from the Cambodian oud to keep things interesting.
Gold Spot - Sarah Baker Perfumes
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Release Year: 2022
Notes: dark chocolate, orange blossom, butterscotch, Laotian oud, musk, vanilla, bergamot, myrrh, petitgrain, amber, cypriol, oud
Editor's Notes: If an orange tree somehow produced fruit that tasted like chocolate, it would smell like Gold Spot. Woody, citrusy, slightly funky, and impossibly creamy, this is one of the most indulgent orange blossom fragrances out there. Perfect for spring evenings.
Molecule 01 + Black Tea - Escentric Molecules
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Release Year: 2023
Notes: black tea, iso e super
Editor's Notes: Imagine your favorite black tea with a spritz of lemon juice and a teaspoon of condensed milk. Straightforward yet irresistibly sexy, this is one of the best minimalist, body-to-body scents out there. The black tea accord adds a creamy subtlety that makes it feel so intimate.
Saint Julep - Imaginary Authors
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Release Year: 2017
Notes: mint, sugar, bourbon whiskey, ice accord, Southern magnolia, grisalva, tangerine
Editor's Notes: If you’re a regular at the Kentucky Derby — an event where almost 120,000 Mint Juleps are served over the course of two days — or just want to cosplay that one Drake and Jack Harlow song, I have a fragrance for you.
Duro - Nasomatto
Concentration: Extrait de Parfum
Release Year: 2007
Notes: N/A
Editor's Notes: Duro smells like luxury leather in Berlin. Think of that LOEWE draped jacket that’s all over your For You page. It’s not aggressively leathery, nor is it cloying under the spring sun. Like the perfect leather jacket, it’s weightless, easy to layer, and made for year-round wear. Though leather is at its core, the mix of woody, resinous, and spicy notes makes this one of the most wearable leather scents for Spring.
Missoni Wave - Missoni
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Release Year: 2020
Notes: Italian mandarin orange, marine notes, clary sage, lavender, Egyptian pelarfonium, rosemary, vanilla orchid, oakmoss, patchouli, Haitian vetiver
Editor's Notes: Marine fragrances are divisive: they can transport you to your favorite Mediterranean memory or induce low-tide nausea. Thankfully, Missoni Wave is the former. Ready to style with a bit of the brand’s zig-zag knitwear, the scent feels just like a day spent exploring one of Southern Italy’s many scenic coastal towns.
Les Sables Roses - Louis Vuitton
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Release Year: 2019
Notes: Bulgarian rose, rosa centifolia absolute, ambergris, oud, saffron, black pepper
Editor's Notes: You know that scene in Gladiator when Commodus, played by Joaquin Phoenix, is regaled by thousands of admirers throwing roses at his feet? If you don’t remember it, give it a rewatch — it’s an apt summation of this decadent rose scent by LV.
Orchidée Vanille - Van Cleef & Arpels
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Release Year: 2009
Notes: mandarin orange, lychee, bitter almond, Bulgarian rose, violet, vanilla absolute, tonka bean, cedar
Editor's Notes: Orchidée Vanille is just like your favorite spring jacket. With a sweet tonka bean base topped with fruity touches of orange and lychee, it’s warm enough for cooler mornings and evenings but light enough for a day out in the sun.
