Spring: the floral and Green awakening
Spring is synonymous with rebirth. Nature bursts with colors and aromas, and your fragrance should reflect that energy. It’s the time for fresh florals, crisp Green notes, and sparkling citrus. Think of a walk through a blooming garden after the rain. To learn more, you can read about the best fragrances for spring in general or focus on spring fragrances for women.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the same fragrance all year round?
Of course, especially if it is your signature fragrance. However, we encourage you to experiment. Using lighter fragrances in summer and more intense ones in winter will enhance your olfactory experience and that of those around you. Learn more about how to make your fragrance last longer.
How many fragrances should I have?
There is no magic number. A good starting point is to have between 3 and 5 fragrances: one for everyday/work, one for special occasions/night, and one for each season (summer/winter). From there, the sky is the limit! Discover how to find your ideal fragrance according to your personality.
Where should I apply fragrance according to the occasion?
For everyday use, apply it to pulse points (wrists, neck). For a night out, you can add a touch behind the knees or in the hair for a stronger trail. For sports, a light spray on clothing is enough. Avoid common mistakes when applying fragrance with our guide.
