While it may still be chilly outside, springtime is approaching. As the snow starts to melt and the flowers begin to bloom, it will soon be time to retire your winter jacket and your winter fragrances.

While heavier scents like vanilla, spices, and many woodsy scents are great for the winter, they are not typically fit for the spring. Spring fragrances should be light and fresh.

If you want to wear a warm-weather fragrance this spring, here are some tips to remember.

Try Refreshing Citrus Scents

Spring is all about renewal and new life. With the right ingredients, a new spring fragrance can help you feel refreshed and like a new person this season. Try fragrances with light citrus notes. Grapefruit, lemon, nectarine, and bergamot are revitalizing scents that will work well within the top notes of a spring fragrance.

Embrace Floral Scents

Wearing fragrances with floral notes is another way to welcome spring. Spring is the season when flowers bloom and grow, so flowers would be a part of a spring fragrance. Lavender, magnolia, peony, and jasmine are popular scents that make up the heart notes of spring fragrances. Violet and ylang-ylang are other floral options that blend well with different scents.

You can purchase a fragrance made with one of these options or explore the other available floral options. If you need help figuring out where to start, try a fragrance that uses your favorite or your birth flower.

Take your time

Finding a spring fragrance might take time. You need to be patient in your search for the perfect spring fragrance so that you will find a scent you genuinely enjoy wearing.

Remember, your olfactory system can handle only a certain number of scents before they begin to mix and become indistinguishable. If you shop for a new fragrance in stores, limit yourself to trying a maximum of three fragrances each visit.
