While we agree that florals for spring aren’t exactly groundbreaking, it is undeniably the season for newness. As the vibrant hues of spring emerge, there’s no better time to start looking ahead to your new season beauty regime. Of all the five senses, smell is the one most connected with memory and emotion, so if you’re looking to make changes or about to start something new, then wearing a new fragrance is also a great way to switch things up and acknowledge a new season, phase, or state of mind.
If you’re unsure where to start finding your perfect match for the season (and beyond), ahead, we list down a few new scents for you.
