Fragrance guide
Spring is the easiest season to dress with fragrance. The air is mild, so a scent neither disappears as it does in winter cold nor turns heavy as it does in summer heat.
Green notes, fresh flowers, citrus and light woods are at their best now. These are the fragrances in our catalog with the highest spring suitability, for men and women.
How we picked. We took the fragrances in our catalog with the highest spring suitability and ranked them by that score and by how many occasions they cover. Prices are typical US retail prices and may differ at checkout.
Chloé
$140 · 2.5 oz · EDP · Women · Floral
Fresh peony and dewy rose with a clean, soapy finish. A modern rose that feels crisp rather than sweet.
Diptyque
$190 · 2.5 oz · EDP · Unisex · Floral
Crushed blackcurrant leaves and garden roses by a riverbank. Sharp, green and floral at once, with nothing sweet about it.
Dior
$155 · 3.4 oz · EDP · Women · Floral
A bouquet of Grasse roses with sparkling citrus and clean patchouli. Romantic, luminous and very feminine.
Acqua di Parma
$185 · 3.4 oz · Eau de Cologne · Unisex · Citrus
Sicilian citrus, lavender and rosemary over a light woody base. Italian elegance in its simplest, sunniest form.
Chanel
$155 · 3.4 oz · EDP · Men · Woody
A woody aromatic of quiet elegance. Sparkling citrus settles onto incense and creamy sandalwood: the navy suit of perfumery.
Hermès
$150 · 3.4 oz · EDT · Unisex · Citrus
Tart green mango, grapefruit and lotus, like a walk through a garden on the banks of the Nile. Bright, watery and green.
Chanel
$175 · 3.4 oz · EDP · Women · Chypre
A modern chypre full of character: vibrant orange, rose and clean patchouli. Elegance with a rebellious wink.

Take the quizFresh florals, green and citrus scents and light woody fragrances. They match mild weather and feel clean without being as thin as a pure summer cologne.
On cool evenings, yes. During warm days, heavy vanilla, amber and tobacco scents start to feel dense, so use fewer sprays or switch to something lighter.
Many do. The fresher ones carry straight into summer; richer florals are better kept for spring and early fall.
