Grooming -- 2 days ago
Words: Charlie Thomas
A signature fragrance is a modern day gentleman’s essential. Acquiring a perfect scent is not easy though, and it will likely take time and years for you to discover yours.
Similarly to your wardrobe, which changes season-on-season, your fragrance collection should adapt to the weather, with deeper, darker notes being applied to winter, and brighter, more optimistic scents taking over for spring and beyond.
As we are now approaching the latter months, we thought it was time to look at some of the new scents that should be on your radar. Here are 5 spring fragrances that women will love…
LABORATORY PERFUMES TONKA
The fourth fragrance in Laboratory Perfumes’ eclectic collection ventures from the British Isles, taking its inspiration from South America. With mandarin, pink peppercorn and vanilla from the tonka bean, it’s a complex scent that’s been scientifically formulated to change throughout the day, reacting to the wearer’s skin. We approve.

EAU DE LACOSTE L.12.12 JAUNE
Lacoste’s Polo Shirt collection of fragrances have proven to be extremely popular, and this is their latest release. Jaune is light and airy, boasting zesty grapefruit and cypress, which energises the wearer with the optimism of a fresh spring morning.

CLINIQUE HAPPY
, Whilst we can’t guarantee this fragrance will bring a smile to your face, it certainly has the potential to help. Like many spring scents it is citrus-based, meaning it is light and perfect for everyday wear.
