39 spring perfumes to know, from new launches to the classics

There's no better way to manifest bright, beautiful days than with spring perfumes. The British weather may be a little unpredictable, but a dreamy spring fragrance can bring the sunshine and the flower petals whether or not it decides to shine.

So yes, we're very much here for creating our own delicious scent bubble, and for switching them up seasonally to keep things fresh. The question is, what are you in the mood for? Florals for spring are obvious, but they're also pretty, wearable and popular – plus, modern updates ensure they remain covetable, relevant and intriguing.

But if you're not a fan of petals, we've also seen a movement to more personal, pared-back, sultry skin scents that feel soft, nuzzly and nearly-naked on skin. They work with skin to enhance our scent wardrobe without showing off, but they also play well with others and can work beautifully as a base if you want to create a bespoke, layered fragrance.

Likewise, you can swerve florals for green, leafy scents that evoke mown lawns or greenhouse vines, like Penhaligon's new minty herbal English Fern fragrance, Maison Margiela's Replica From The Garden Eau de Toilette or Fornasetti's damp, dewy Giardino Segreto Extrait Parfum.

Elsewhere, spring perfumes are defying expectations – because who's to say they need to be light, gauzy and zesty? Renegade perfumes like Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Kurky revisits childhood with soft, clean musk and gummy bear tutti frutti accords, reimagined in a grown-up ode to nostalgia. Meanwhile, Jo Loves has tempered zesty-citrus pomelo with a sexier, edgier oud note in it's new Pomelo Oud.

We've rounded up our favourite spring scents that you should have on your radar below.

Ahead, 39 of the best spring perfumes to add to your checkout.

New spring scents

If you're already a fan of the intimate, soft scent of Glossier You, this is the spring update. A gentle confetti of osmanthus, ylang ylang, apricot and cashmeran have been added to the OG with a dash of salt that reads breezy and mineral. It's warm, creamy, delicate and understated but with enough personality to have people tapping you up for this signature scent.

If you’re all about good vibrations, this offers a delicate but beautiful mood boost. Zesty cedrat, Buddha’s hand, bergamot, vert de mandarine and lime open with a burst of energy, while creamy magnolia and a soft pinch of cardamom spice keep things feeling sophisticated.

This bottles the promise of sunny Spring days ahead. The scent of wild strawberries, paired with a warm amber accord, make it feel grown up rather than saccharine, but it’s the violet leaf in the blend that makes you go in for a second sniff. Imagine digging your toes into an earthy, green, bluebell-strewn forest floor – that’s what this smells like.

Alien is already an icon thanks to its addictive and seductive sweet, warm floral scent. This latest update offers up a greener, woodier composition for spring with damp, citrusy petigrain leading from the front in the top notes. It's not shy and retiring though, it's surrounded by those bold, familiar white florals and rich vanilla, cashmeran and amberwood base.
