Spring calls for a shift towards freshness, lightness and renewed vigor. As such, this edit moves away from the heavy and spicy scents of winter and replaces them with citrus and green notes, soft florals and sunlit ambers, each one chosen to bring a different mood to the season.
TOM FORD Soleil Blanc Parfum
A richer, more lingering floral amber, it opens with bright Mediterranean bergamot and pistachio, moves through creamy white flowers, then settles into vanilla, benzoin and woods without losing any of its initial freshness. A sensual fragrance with a polished warmth that stays close to the skin. £222 (50ml) | tomfordbeauty.co.uk
BALMAIN Destin de Balmain
A vibrant floral fruity blend of ripe strawberry and rosy peony, this formula is energised by pink pepper and grounded in sandalwood, patchouli and musky Ambrexolide. There is also a creamy lychee facet and soft lily note beneath the fruit, which gives the scent a smoother, more skin-like warmth than the opening first suggests. £130 (100ml) | selfridges.com
GUERLAIN Tabac Sahara
Evoking starlit Saharan dunes, this smoky tobacco scent glows with raspberry sweetness and molten amber, unfolding in sensual swirls of desert-like warmth. Its raspberry accord brings a tangy brightness that cuts through the smoke, creating the pink-at-nightfall contrast Guerlain imagines around the dunes. £165 (125ml) | guerlain.com
MAYBACH Radiant Green Eau de Parfum
A glorious ode to the green brightness of spring, enhanced by the freshness of neroli, soothing fig notes and the clean aura of iconic Savon de Marseille for a shimmering finish. Inspired by the crisp, herbal feel of dewy leaves at first light, it has a cool, polished freshness that makes the fig and neroli feel even cleaner and more luminous. £330 (100ml)| maybach-luxury.com
ERIS Mother’s Milk
A subversive gourmand fragrance that explores fantasies of the “Good” and “Bad” mother through scent. This extrait has real bite, wrapping milky vanilla, precious Bavarian orris and rose in suede, cacao and musk. Comforting at first, then quietly darker, it turns softness into something far more sensual, strange and grown-up. £187 (50ml) | wild-iris.com
