Find Your Signature Floral, Fruity, and Fresh Fragrance for the Spring

This post may contain affiliate links.

Many people like to change their fragrances with the seasons. And I’m one of those individuals! Switching up your fragrance as the seasons change allows you to step outside your comfort zone and try a new scent. It also gives you the perfect excuse to build your fragrance wardrobe and find your signature scent

Spring is one of my favorite seasons because it encourages me to replace my go-to perfumes with something light, airy, and fresh. I love to replace my heavier winter scents with fragrances that beautifully complement the natural aromas of blooming flowers, warm sunshine, and outdoor adventures.

During this time of the year, I’m looking for scents that make me feel energized and optimistic. I’m constantly hunting for floral, fruity, and fresh fragrances for the spring.

Finding the right fragrance for you

Fragrance is unquestionably a statement piece, whether you want to complement your personality or style. When searching for the perfect scent, it’s essential to consider your lifestyle and olfactory preferences. 

I spoke to the Product and Fragrance Development Team at Bath & Body Works, who provided the following advice to choose the perfect fragrance:

  • Take time to explore different fragrance categories. 
  • Use blotter cards to smell before applying them on your skin.  
  • Experience and wear the scent to identify if it’s the right fit for you. 
  • Continue to build your personal fragrance portfolio for each possible occasion.

Floral fragrances

With spring bringing the return of blooming flowers, it’s only fitting that floral fragrances are a favorite. Rose, gardenia, jasmine, and tuberose provide the nostalgia we need during the season.

Getting the most out of your fragrances

If you’re anything like me, fragrance is integral to your daily beauty routine. That’s why it’s important to take your time to find a scent that embodies your persona. 

To get the most out of your new fragrance, I suggest finding body products — including your body wash and body lotion — that complement the fragrance you plan to wear for the day. After a shower, moisturize your skin before layering your perfume on your pulse points to achieve a long-lasting sillage. You’ll thank me later!
