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.
Let’s walk through the how—what to store, what to spritz, and how to build a refreshed fragrance wardrobe with samples that scream spring.
Say See-You-Later to Your Winter Perfumes
We’re talking gourmands, smoky ambers, deep leathers, and spicy woods. These scents were your best friend when the air was cold and your outfits were layered, but they might feel a little too heavy now that nature’s blooming.
Examples of popular winter-type scents:
- Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
- Maison Margiela By the Fireplace
- Carolina Herrera Good Girl
- YSL Black Opium
- Kilian Angels’ Share
These don’t need to be thrown away—just stored properly until the season rolls around again.
Storage tips:
- Keep your perfumes in a cool, dark place.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can break down the scent faster.
- A drawer or closed cabinet is ideal—bonus points if it’s in a consistently cool spot in your home.
What Makes a Spring Fragrance?
Spring scents tend to be lighter, fresher, and brighter. They’re not here to overwhelm. Instead, they’re about uplifting your mood and matching the season’s fresh start.
Look for perfumes that include notes like:
- Citrus (bergamot, lemon, mandarin)
- Green tea or grass
- Fresh florals (peony, neroli, jasmine)
- Watery or aquatic elements
- Soft musks or light woods
These notes help your fragrance feel clean, airy, and effortless—exactly what spring calls for.
