Spring Cleaning for Your Fragrance Wardrobe: What to Ditch, What to Discover

It’s that time of year again. The flowers are blooming. Some of y’all are sneezing and rubbing your eyes (hang in there, pollen-sensitive friends). The days are getting longer, and yes—baseball is back. For some of ya’ll, the spring rains are rinsing the salt from your walkways and car tires. 

That means it’s officially time to usher in our spring cleaning rituals. Most people think garage clutter or closet chaos—but what about your perfume shelf?

As the heavy coats go into storage and the sun starts sticking around past 6 p.m., it’s time to rotate those cozy winter scents to the back and let the fresh, bright, spring-forward fragrances have their moment.

Fresh citrus. Dewy florals. Airy musks. You know, the kinds of scents that feel like opening the windows on the first warm day of the year. That’s the vibe we’re going for.

“It Smells Like the President”: French Leader’s Fragrance Habit Overwhelms Staff

French President Macron is under fire, and it isn’t for his politics. It’s because if you lit a match near him, he might just go up in flames thanks to the sheer amount of cologne he’s wearing. We’re not entirely sure if perfume is flammable, but we’re rolling with the metaphor: the man is apparently drenched in scent.

This fun little revelation comes courtesy of journalist Olivier Beaumont’s new book, The Tragedy of the Elysée. While the book likely has some serious political insights, the world has clung to one headline-worthy detail—President Macron wears what’s been described as “industrial amounts” of Dior Eau Sauvage. And not just in the morning. Apparently, the man is freshening up throughout the day, including at his desk.

We haven’t read the full book (because, well, we’re here for the perfume gossip), but this scent-centric moment has made it a global talking point.
