Choose a perfume for spring

Spring is marked by the softening of the climate and the awakening of nature. It is the perfect season for choosing a light, soft scent symbolizing renewal.

Why change fragrance in spring?

Many people change fragrance according to the seasons and then have "parenthesis fragrances”, which allows them to take an olfactory break from their main ones from time to time.

People put away their coats, heavy sweaters, and other warm clothes in the spring. The the warmer weather can also be a reason to choose a new fragrance that will suit the new style of clothing.

The end of winter and the arrival of beautiful days make one want to choose a fragrance that echoes softness, lightness and renewal.

People who tend to wear eaux de parfum in winter, can opt for the same fragrance but as an eau de toilette in spring (see Eau de toilette).

For others, the change of season allows to mark a turning point, and to completely change their style. They can go from an oriental, chypre, or gourmand fragrance (fragrances that therefore have a lot of presence) to fresh floral scents, to fresh eaux or Cologne. 

 

 

Choose a signature fragrance symbolizing spring

Some people like to wear fresh, joyful and dynamic fragrances all year round, which represents spring. In this case, we talk about a "signature" perfume.

Here is the description of a person who can be identified in spring, and who can therefore wear all year round a perfume symbolizing this season.

Each person has many facets in their personality, people cannot be limited by one category. The description below gives only an outline of this type of profile.

Fragrance for spring : Fresh and sparkling

  • Personality: individuals who can be assimilated with spring are above all, very lively and sparkling. These people are full of ideas, very cheerful, likes to laugh, and has a lot of energy. Between partying and laziness, this person retains over time all the spontaneity of the youth. They know how to charm an interlocutor and impose their ideas with great energy. Finally, they are rather direct, not fussy and have a sporty and quite natural look.
  • Scents: this person likes fragrances inspired by nature, quite figurative with aromas of fresh flowers, cut grass, watery fruit, citrus, aromatic herbs, as well as green and vegetal notes. Fresh flowers such as lily-of-the-valley, lilac, freesia, and peony are also popular.
  • Beverages: In terms of drinks, this type of profile prefers drinking fresh fruit juices, lemonades, and sparkling water with a twist of lemon. As evening cocktails, they will be more tempted by Mojito, Caipirinha, champagne, or light wine. Finally, they prefer tea over coffee.
  • Flavours: Attracted by everything fresh and healthy, they could be vegan. They like sunny and simple cuisine, salads and fresh fruit. Italian cuisine could also appeal to them.

On the other hand, at the end of winter, people who do not belong to this category will want to return to bright colours.
  • Fabrics: light, airy, natural, cotton, linen, stretch, and jeans. 
  • Outdoors: in harmony with the season, the spring personality loves picnics on the grass, bike rides, groups of friends, music and dance. Spring helps this person to rediscover feelings of connection with nature.
