Spring Scents

On April 18, 2012 · 29 Comments · In Beauty, Shopping

When the weather is warmer, I like to switch up my perfume and opt for a lighter, fresher scent. Below are some new spring perfumes that sound like they smell heavenly based on the descriptions.  I think I’m going to need to take a trip to my local Sephora soon to test these out! :)  And aren’t the bottles so pretty too?!

    I’ve never tried any of those – I tend to not switch my scents around thought I always stick with the same 2-3 scents.

    I’ve not tried any of these, but would love to, once I’m better and have a sense of smell, of course!

    Man i really need to invest in some perfume as well. I have one very simple vanilla scent from Lush and that’s been my staple for a while now. I should branch out and try some a bit more exciting. Besides how can one go wrong with such a beautiful selection of bottels ! :)

      You’re so right- perfume is an investment! Also, I love the smell of vanilla- so pleasant :)

    I’ve been wanting to check out that Valentino perfume too! This is a good reminder to head to Sephora! :)

    xo, sam

    P.S. Thanks for the sweet words on my blog!

      I’d love to know what you think if you try it! :)

    I haven’t tried any of these yet! When Spring hits I like scents like Aqua Di Gioia because it reminds me of the beach and Vera Wang Princess because it’s so fruity/floral. I may need to change up to something newer lol.

      Thank you for the recommendations Dre, I’ll have to add them to my list! :)

    i wish i could pick my perfume based on the packaging and bottle (number two on your post would win btw!) although i used victor and rolf’s flowerbomb and the bottle/box is pretty freakin great!

      I know- I think #2 I’d my favorite packaging wise! I’ve heard good things about Flowerbomb :)

    oooh I’ll have to check out the Escada! i wear their Magnetism but it’s been discontinued :(

    Ug. I need perfume SO badly! I LOVE flower bomb and daisy. :) These all look divine!

    • http://starcrossedsmile.com Nnenna

      That’s the second recommendation for Flowerbomb! And Daisy smells so great :)

  • http://delayedmissives.com Alex Elizabeth

    I love the Escada bottle! I have to confess… I have never smelled any of these perfumes. I used to love fragrance so much when I was younger, but now overly floral scents set off my allergies.

    • http://starcrossedsmile.com Nnenna

      Isn’t it so pretty! I’ve smelled L’Eau de Chloé in a sample, but I havent tested any of the other ones yet. I’m the same, certain fragrances just make me sneeze!
