Best Spring Fragrances
The spring is here and it is time to talk about best perfumes for spring. I wrote about this in the last years too so I’m trying to mention new perfumes here.
Best Spring Fragrances for Women
1.Miu Miu
Main Accords are:
Green, Floral, Rose, White Floral, and citrus
Promising Review: “This may be my favorite perfume ever! The floral opening is less than unique, but still lovely and well-blended. What does it for me is an interesting peppery-ness in the dry down that I can’t get enough of. This surely comes from the wood note. It’s def a unique element that may not be compatible with everyone’s tastes or body chemistry. I, however, am in love <3”
2.Gucci Bamboo
Main Accords are: White Floral, Citrus, Woody, Yellow floral, and Sweet
Promising Review: ” Love the scent, its fresh but mild. Perfect for spring day wear. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I don’t feel like it lasts more than a couple of hours. It’s worth it for the time you can smell it though!”
3. Christian Dior J’adore
Main Accords are: Floral, Fruity, White Floral, Sweet and aquatic
Promising Review: “Beautiful perfume, I find it fresh like being on a beach its not an old Lady perfume. I’m In love with it, I can’t stop smelling my wrist its such a lovely scent and Long lasting on me which is rare!”
4.Vince Camuto Bella
Main Accords are: Citrus, White Floral, Amber, Animalic and fresh spicy
Promising Review: ” Really like this! Instant tropical fruity piña colada in a bottle! And what a bottle! It’s definitely one of the prettiest perfume bottles I’ve come across.”
5. Tory Burch Absolu
Main Accords are: Woody, White floral, Soft spicy, floral, tuberose, green
Promising Review: “Fruity Berry opening. But more sophisticated and matured, not candy-like. Comes off to me as pears. sweet slightly medicinal finish, Long lasting, even in hot Florida weather.
Not bad, goes with the fashion line. Doesn’t really stand out for me.
Longevity: Long lasting
sillage: moderate.”
Best Spring Fragrances for Men
1.Chanel Allure Homme Sport
Main Accords are: Citrus, Aromatic, aldehydic, marine, fresh spicy and vanilla
Promising Review: “Everything about this one is great. Even now in the colder autumn weather I think it’s still appropriate because of the creamy tonka bean and vanilla. The go-to fragrance of all time!”
2. Acqua Di Gio Profumo
Main Accords are: Aromatic, Marine, Fresh spicy, Balsamic, smoky and citrus
Promising Review: ” Very nice scent, similar to the original one, but while the original would be mostly used day time in summer, this one I would say day and night. Plus I see nothing wrong as time goes on things need to get updated otherwise would be dated and that’s what they did to the original.”
3. Paco Rabanne Invictus
Main Accords are: Citrus, Marine, Aromatic, Fresh Spicy, and woody
Promising Review: ” Though I detest the bottle, this guy is fantastic! Don’t throw this one out because of the cheesy marketing – it is a great fragrance. Take Acqua di Gio and Individuel and mix them and you get this. Great longevity – just a really great fragrance.”
4. Versace Dylan Blue
Main Accords are: Citrus, fresh spicy, musky, amber and balsamic
Promising Review: “I never wore cologne because I couldn’t find one I liked enough to wear consistently and purchase…I wear this everyday and can’t go a day without getting a compliment on this scent!”
5. Bvlgari Aqva Amara
Main Accords are: Citrus, aquatic, balsamic, fresh, white floral, and smoky
Promising Review: ” Its an aquatic citrusy masculine fragrance. It opens with a blast of citrus (I swear i can smell orange blossom in here). Its a compliment getter and suits i guess the casual wear in high summer heat. Its a sexy fragrance, appreciated by the people around you more than appreciated by the person who wore it. Masculine, not unisex.”
Let me know your favorite perfume to wear in the spring in the comment.

La Rive Parfums Review Part 1
5 Interesting Facts about Perfumes
1 – The name Perfume comes from the Latin word “per fume” which means “through smoke”- this makes sense as the earliest perfumes were incense based, and were made from spices and herbs such as coriander and frankincense to name a couple.
2 – The earliest modern style of perfume (made by blending essential oils with an alcohol solution) was created in 1310 for Queen Elizabeth of Hungary. This fragrance, known as “Hungary Water” was a blend of rosemary, thyme, and verbena essence in brandy, and variations of this composition can still be purchased today by traditional perfumer houses. Originally it was used as tonic water as well as a perfume, and physicians prescribed it to gargle with for all sorts of illnesses!
3 – There are many aromatic sources available in nature, and all parts of plants are used in the quest for new and exciting scents. There are fragrance oils made from: barks, blossoms, seeds, woods, fruits, leaves, resins, roots, lichens and microorganisms such as algae!
4 – Perfumes can also contain animal ingredients, although nowadays many of these are created synthetically for ethical reasons. Some of these animal “fragrances” include honeycomb, civet, musk, castoreum, and ambergris(whale vomit!) just to name a few of the most prominent ones.
5 – An “Eau de Cologne” is a milder, watered down and refreshing perfume typically with concentrations of between 2- 6% essential oils to base. The style originated in Cologne, Germany, and was used by both men and women, although nowadays it is marketed more towards men and one of the most known one is Maurer & Wirtz Original eau de Cologne 4711 which is a great citrus aromatic example of this.
