How to Spring Ahead with Fragrance: Tips and Ideas
Spring is the perfect season for fragrance and we are here for it! A renewal and awakening of the senses begins after winter's grip on us comes to a close. It is time to decide on your next scent, one that combines the lighthearted and playful spirit of the season and that certain something that we all want. Je ne sais quoi? Mais oui! And LUXSB offers designers and niche selections that any fragrance fanatic will leap for joy over!
Spring selections are literally blooming with notes in the floral family. This olfactory family is known as perfume's go-to category with an endless array of fabulous choices. Some of the most desirable scents of the season revolve around floral notes such as orange blossom, rose, jasmine, freesia, honeysuckle, peony, lily of the valley, jasmine, tuberose, iris, magnolia, and gardenia. This is not the complete listing of all the notes in the floral category. Imagine all the possible combinations and blends that will have you stopping to smell the flowers!
A few incredible florals to take note of this Spring are Victor and Rolf's cult classic Flowerbomb, "an explosive floral bouquet, the essence of thousands of flowers." Sambac jasmine, cattleyas, freesia, and rose petals combine with patchouli and vanilla to make this wickedly addictive scent that has legions of fans. Gucci Bloom is another fantastic option, with notes of natural tuberose from India, jasmine bud extract, and Rangoon Creeper with a floral green element. A lovely floral and fresh combo is Atelier Cologne's Iris Rebelle, a 15% concentrate pure purfume that cuts through with fresh iris and lavender blended with guaiac wood. If you love iris, Iris Rebelle pierces through with a clear true iris note. Nateeva's St. Thomas is a beautiful take on the frangipani flower with a salty and watery accord, rose absolute, orange blossom, vanilla, and musk. Many of Nateeva's selections are developed with a love for native flowers of a specific locale.
Don't forget to add a citrus scent to your wardrobe for a sunny, bright pallette that is popular in modern warmer weather fragrances. A great family for both women and men, citrus notes with aquatic touches inspire thoughts of days of vacays, sitting under the sun in glamorous tropical destinations. Santorini and Mykonos, Jamaica, St. Barts, Punta Canta, Hawaii. Spray on a citrus scent and say hello to gorgeous sunsets, pina coladas, hurricanes, and mai tais without ever booking a flight!
Citruses that inspire that summer mentality are Mancera Sicily and Soleil D'Italie. Sicily blends top notes of Mandarin orange, grapefruit, and bergamot with fruits, florals, and base notes of musk and woods. Both projection and sillage are excellent. Soleil D'Italie is a modern fragrance inspired by sun citrus with rose, vetiver, and amber to create an aquatic freshness. Mancera's Aoud Lemon Mint is another excellent citrus blend, a fresh cocktail with notes of lemon, mandarin orange, almond, pepper, and coriander, along with oud, patchouli, jasmine, vanilla, amber, leather, vetiver, and musk.
