The Real Chic Life

I’ve been wearing the same signature scent for two decades. I do occasionally wear other fragrances for special occasions or a fun night out, but I almost always reach for this one for day to day. Lately, I’ve really been feeling the urge to find a new favorite perfume. Spring seems like the perfect time to start anew. If you’re looking for a new signature scent or just something new to add to your collection, this post is a wonderful roundup of both fairly new and tried and true Spring scents.

Spring is all about fresh florals, crisp citrus, and light, airy scents that capture the essence of the season. Whether you love classic florals, fruity blends, or a hint of green freshness, these perfumes will add the perfect springtime vibe to your routine.

1. Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet (2025 Edition)

Notes: Peony, Bergamot, White Musk

A timeless spring favorite- this updated fragrance is delicate, feminine, and effortlessly elegant. The soft floral bouquet with a touch of musk makes it perfect for daytime wear.

2. Jo Malone Frangipani Flower Cologne

Notes: Jasmine, Frangipani, Samdalwood

This limited-edition Jo Malone scent is exotic, radiant and bright, with a fresh twist of lemon—ideal for those who love a clean yet playful fragrance.

3. Chanel Chance Eau Tendre (Parfum 2025)

Notes: Grapefruit, Quince, Rose, White Musk

A sophisticated yet light scent, this fragrance blends fruity and floral notes with a soft, musky base, making it perfect for a fresh spring feel.

4. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Universalis

Notes: Lemon, Bergamot, Lily of the Valley, White Musk

For those who prefer a clean and uplifting scent, this one offers a subtle, airy freshness that feels like a crisp spring morning.

5. Byredo La Tulipe

Notes: Freesia, Tulip, Vetiver

If spring flowers in full bloom were bottled, this would be it. A dewy, floral fragrance that’s bright yet not overpowering.

6. Gucci Flora Gorgeous Magnolia

Notes: Dewberry, Magnolia, Patchouli

A floral yet slightly creamy scent, this one adds a modern, youthful twist to springtime fragrances.

7. Diptyque Ilio

Notes: Prickly Pear, Bergamot. Jasmine

This limited edition scent leans more summer than spring but if you’re heading somewhere tropical for spring break or if like me summer is already on your mind (it’s my favorite season) then it might be for you. It debuted in 2021 and makes an appearance each year. You can set a notification here.

Here’s a quick breakdown of how to wear (apply) Spring perfumes to get the most out of your new or existing scents.

• Apply on pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) for a long-lasting scent.

• Spritz on hair or clothing for a subtle, all-day freshness.

• Layer with a matching body lotion for extra longevity.

Which of these scents fits your spring vibe? I’m looking forward to testing out a few of these this weekend. I’d love to hear about your go-to fragrance for the season too!
