Best Spring Perfumes For 2023
For those fortunate enough to live in a hot climate that stays at a reasonable temperature all year, perhaps you don’t need to worry about the change of seasons as much as we do here in the UK.
That being said, when it comes to perfumes, it’s good to have different scents for different seasons so that we can choose the right one for the weather. Let’s take a look at the best spring perfumes for 2023.
This article is part of a fragrance blog I built myself — I’ll explain how at the end if you’re curious.
If you regularly visit my website, you will already know why we have different fragrances for different times of the year.
Imagine your favourite bottle of Alien by Thierry Mugler—a popular scent worn by many women worldwide. If you are familiar with such a fragrance, you will know it is heavy.
Even a small amount sprayed onto the skin can significantly affect those around you because of its strength. It’s a powerhouse in a bottle, but it won’t suit everyone.
Imagine wearing that same perfume during the hottest weather we occasionally get in the UK. We may assume that perfumes and colognes with woody, earthy scents are the heaviest. However, many sweet and floral fragrances can be just as overpowering if too much is sprayed.
For instance, consider La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme. It is a delightful fragrance that is gorgeous to wear during Spring and summer, but can be a little heavy on the skin.
With its fruity pear, blackberry, and orange notes, this fragrance can smell sweet and, therefore, maybe a little overpowering. For a lighter, more delicate scent, you can buy the eau de toilette version of La Vie Est Belle.
Why Should We Choose Our Fragrance To Match The Seasons
You may have your favourite signature perfume that you spritz daily, but have you considered whether that scent works well in all weathers?
Designers create perfumes with the seasons in mind, balancing suitable aromas to suit the weather, our personalities, and current fashion.
When the weather is scorching, a heavy perfume will react with the heat and be far too strong on the skin. Wearing a lighter scent or even body spray allows it to sit more delicately and not be overpowered by the heat.
Floral and fruity perfumes are better suited to hot weather, as they sit better on the skin and don’t intensify as much in the heat.
The same theory applies to winter fragrances. When the weather is cold, we need a more potent scent to compensate for our skin’s drop in temperature. Woody, musk, and spicy perfumes work best.
Many men and women have signature fragrances they will wear whatever the season, and that’s perfectly okay. For those who like to try different scents, depending on the season, let’s look at what scents are popular this Spring.
Best Spring Perfumes For 2023
Marc Jacobs – Daisy Love Paradise
I do love the creativity within Marc Jacobs’ bottle designs. Even though we shouldn’t be influenced by the perfume bottle alone, Jacobs captures feminine elegance with each bottle they release.
With its soft-edged pink bottle, twin-coloured flowers on the cap, and a gold-plated centre piece on each daisy, this floral and fruity Eau de Toilette was released in 2022. The simplicity of the fragrance notes in this perfume shows that less is more. It has a definite feminine scent with a sweet undertone without being overpowering.
For those who love patchouli, this perfume has a definite linger of the base note and is very noticeable. It’s worth a try to see how it sits on the skin.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Paradise 50 ml eau de toilette spray
Top note: Iris
Middle note: patchouli
Base note: whipped cream
Baccarat Rouge 540
If you’re looking for a touch of sophistication and class in a bottle of perfume, then Maison Francis Kurkdijian has mastered this 2015 scent with a gorgeous selection of fragrance notes.
Although it is not the most affordable perfume on our shelves, this scent is long-lasting and features a substantial selection of notes that will last all day.
Baccarat Rouge 540 is a popular scent often ‘copied’ by other manufacturers and is a global sensation. Pop superstar Rihanna used this bottle as her go-to scent before launching her own scents, so it’s no surprise that many women are obsessed with it.

Top notes: saffron, Jasmine
Middle notes: amber wood, ambergris
Base notes: fir resin, cedar

Mugler Angel Elixir EDP
Keeping in line with the classic design of Thierry Mugler’s Angel perfume bottle, shaped like a star, the new fragrance of Angel Elixir, released this year (2023), has an identical design but a richer shade of blue on its bottle.
Every time I see this perfume, it reminds me of when my stepfather bought me Angel. A bottle design that, unlike most other perfumes, doesn’t stand up on its own, so it would not sit proudly on the bedside table and be far too sweet for my liking, with heavy base notes of vanilla.
I never wore it. I never told my step-dad I didn’t like it either.
Mugler Angel Elixir is worth comparing with Mugler’s 1992 perfume Angel. The former fragrance contained lovely notes, which may be too much for some to wear. As you can see from Angel Elixir, the base notes are still beautiful, so I recommend trying a sample first.
Top notes: pink pepper
Middle notes: orange blossom, Jasmine, ylang, ylang, Sandalwood
Base notes: bourbon, vanilla infusion, Amber, Xreme™️

Issey Miyake L’Eau D’Issey
This perfume is perfect for Spring, featuring fresh, floral, and aquatic fragrance notes.
Released in 1992, Musk and Sandalwood have a gorgeous aroma as the perfume settles on the skin.
Top notes: Lotus, melon, rosewater, Rose, Freesia, calone, Cyclamen
Middle notes: lily-of-the-valley, lily, carnation, water peony
Bass notes: tuberose, exotic woods, musk, cedar, Sandalwood, amber, osmanthus
This scent has a beautiful touch of freshness and floral notes. With an aquatic and floral theme, it is suitable for office wear. It is distinctive and recognisable, and a little spritz is enough with this bottle if you’re not overly keen on too many fruit and floral notes. It has a reasonably moderate sillage and a long-lasting scent, perfect for Spring evenings spent in the garden or having lunch with friends.
Many have said the price is good value, and it has a clean, fresh vibrancy, with the musk note popping through for a very feminine aroma. For a perfume that is over 30 years old, the late Issey Miyake, who only passed away last year (2022) at the age of 84, has created a timeless classic, and the design and shape of the bottle are most certainly one that can be carried in your handbag for a spritz during the day.
Spring Flower- Creed
Launched this year, Spring Flower by Creed is a delicate, fruit-and-floral fragrance perfect for women. When we use musk as one of our base notes, we always sense warmer weather on the horizon, the chance to wear lighter clothing and sandals, and the sun on our skin. As the opening note, Grapefruit imparts a zesty fruit note and a delightful mixture of peach, white flowers, and Jasmine.
It has a moderate sillage and a long-lasting fragrance for this re-released perfume bottle. A simple baby-pink bottle design and silver cap make this perfume a classic for women, even though the price tag may be too high for some.
Creed Spring Flower Pour Femme – 75 ml Eau de Parfum Spray
Top notes: Grapefruit, green notes, lemon, Bergamot
Middle notes: Jasmine, apricot, peach, white flowers
Base notes: musk, ambergris, cedar
Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle EDP
Although perhaps not a very common perfume, this scent’s name conjures up images of holidays and warmer weather.
It is a bright and fresh perfume with fizzy citrus and grapefruit notes, suitable for Spring and summer.
Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle makes us want to escape to a warmer climate and feel the sand between our toes in the floral and fruit family.

It’s refreshing to read about the importance of choosing fragrances that complement the changing seasons and weather conditions. Your explanations regarding the impact of different scents in hot weather versus colder temperatures were particularly informative.
I appreciated the detailed descriptions of each perfume and their fragrance notes. Your analysis of Marc Jacobs’ Daisy Love Paradise and its feminine elegance, as well as Maison Francis Kurkdijian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 with its touch of sophistication, provided a great overview of these scents. It was interesting to learn about the popularity of Baccarat Rouge 540 and its connection to Rihanna.

Hello Anoth,
Thank you for reading my article.
There are some lovely fragrances for both men and women on the market today. It’s nice to be able to see what fragrance notes a particular perfume has before we purchase and the reason behind why it’s good to choose a scent that fits the seasons.
Yes, the Baccarat Rouge 540 is a lovely scent and many women and men are influenced by celebrities and their fragrances as well as their clothing and music.
I always like to include a breakdown of the fragrance notes because when choosing a scent, it’s important to look at the base notes in particular. These are the notes that will last the longest on the skin and will be the fragrance that those around us will notice throughout the day.

I really appreciate your article about the best spring perfumes for 2023 Louise, I was online looking to purchase a late Mother’s Day present for my Mom and wife. Your article helped me identify a great gift for them both rather quickly and I’m sure that others who are looking across the web for new scents will find it helpful as well.
I often desire different varieties of scents when burning incense in the apartment so I understand what you mean by different perfumes being better suited for a particular season of the year.
I have never heard of Creed or their Spring Flower scent but the delicate nature and floral fragrance seem like the perfect scent for all the ladies in my life.

Hi Joseph, I’m pleased to have been able to help with a possible choice of fragrance for your mum and wife for Mother’s Day. Most women appreciate a new bottle of perfume, especially if you know the type of fragrance they enjoy wearing.
I have written article on incense sticks around Christmas time and the winter months and also one on the benefits of incense sticks.
I would love to use them myself, but because I am asthmatic, I find that they aggravate my chest, so I avoid and use scented candles instead.
