5 triumphant fragrances for spring

^{Vibrant and glowing gold, gorse breathes its toasted coconut and vanilla scent into the cool spring air.}

Hooray, we made it through another winter. And that calls for a celebration, I think. How about flinging your windows wide open, taking luxurious deep breaths of fresh spring air, and spritzing one of these joyful perfumes?

As usual in my fragrance blog posts, I’ve written wee scent stories to give you the impression of a perfume. If you’re interested in the specific fragrance notes stated by a brand, feel free to click on the name of the perfume and that’ll take you to their website.

Cherubin – Detaille

^{Sometimes you need a fragrant jolt of something invigorating in spring—Cherubin by Detaille will wake you up in style.}

Sparkling mountain air, snow glittering in the sun, soft woolly scarf around your neck. A spectacular morning’s skiing behind you and you gratefully pause for refreshment. Leaning on a smooth balcony rail, you gaze at the distant crystalline peaks, holding a glass of icy mineral water with a chunky disc of sweet, sharp and bitter grapefruit which gaily bobs and twirls.

Le 3eme Homme – Caron

^{Rounded and comforting, but fresh and aromatic, Le 3eme Homme by Caron is a glorious springtime perfume that delights me every time I wear it.}

Golden light on old, golden stone. In the middle of this walled garden, an ancient circular fountain has enticing ledges for a little rest. You sink onto the crumbling seat and idly trail your fingers in the sun warmed water. Flickering and flashing in the shimmering light, koi carp dance beneath your gaze.

Your swinging foot catches on some herbs lazily tumbling over the path; mint, lavender, thyme. You breathe in their glorious scents deeply, then exhale. Peace at last.

Gorseland – Jorum Studio

^{Juicily bright and sharp, Gorseland by Jorum Studio is a mouthwatering and uplifting perfume for spring.}

Neon bright, flashing light

Gold, green, then gold again

Sweet, sharp, fruity, juicy

Toasted coconut warms light vanilla

Bright, fresh, sappy

Sugared pineapple cubes

Refreshing rhubarb, tart gooseberry and bright green apples

Gardenia sighs into jasmine’s ear

And a scrunch of crisp green salad leaves

Tropica – Maya Njie

^{British springs can be cold and wet, but you can flee to sunnier climes in your imagination when you wear Tropica by Maya Njie.}

Languid days on soft, silver sand. Stretched out and deliciously idle on a sun lounger, golden light bouncing joyously through the emerald fronds of an overhanging tree. Your companion saunters towards you bearing a platter of fruit, so you ease yourself upright to see what they’ve brought.

Warm, fuzzy-skinned peaches nestle close to juicy pineapple. Slices of fresh coconut, glistening with milk. A centrepiece of basil gelato softens in the heat of the day, so you take the proffered spoon and dive in before it melts completely.

Golden Chypre – Grossmith

^{Whether it’s springtime, summertime, autumn or winter, Golden Chypre by Grossmith will scatter coins of perfumed radiance over your day.}

You’re reclining in a smoothly finished teak chair

Crisp linen suit still looking smart, despite the warmth of the day—

coins of sunlight dance through the branches of an ancient mulberry tree

glinting along the golden trim of your fine porcelain tea cup,

where a curling wisp of steam lifts a hint of bergamot from your Earl Grey into the limpid air.

You lean forward to select a dainty sandwich from an elegant tiered stand and

some freshly picked flowers nestled in a tiny, crystal vase breathe their scent towards you.

Following a soft thwock of tennis ball on racquet,

a bubble of gentle laughter floats over a neatly trimmed hedge—

long skirts swish and rustle as your

companions return to the tea table

You raise an elegant forefinger, tilting your panama to shade your eyes

And listen to them gaily chattering.

All is well.

Wear this if you want to feel: nostalgic, refined, relaxed

So, hold tight to your hope. Spring is here and with it lengthening days and more light. Spraying delicious perfume won’t banish the awful things going on in the world, but if it can make it even a smidgen easier to navigate and manage, I think it’s worth trying.
