ÇaFleureBon Top Ten Spring Perfumes + Happy National Fragrance Day 2016 Draw

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.” ― Pablo Neruda

Spring … when our spirits soar and we watch all things bare and brown turn into an explosion of colors.  A temperamental season (it snowed yesterday in NYC) but it’s a great time to lighten up and wear our favorite Spring Fragrances. Our top ten for 2016

Alberto Vargas  Spring

Alberto Vargas 

When Spring puts a song in my heart, I invariably reach for one of my favorite perfumes, from one of my favorite houses:  L' Infante by Parfums Divine (2000).  L’ Infante is unbelievably lovely; a perfect bouquet of Chinese jasmine, ylang ylang and peony, woven through with ivy and crisp green leaves. Tonka bean and vanilla add billowy softness, like clouds floating gently on a breeze. I feel pretty! Oh so pretty….and so will anyone wearing this charming fragrance.
Tammy Schuster, Contributor

Houbigant, April Showers

April Showers by Cheramy was released in 1921 by the US arm of Houbigant, It is the epitome of what I like about spring.  It brings to mind the lovely warm days that are coming and that wonderful smell of spring in the air.  April Showers does just that…there's an air of light florals and spice on a bed of powder that makes my imagination soar to glorious heights.  I always think to myself, "April Showers bring May flowers".  It hasn't failed yet. –Aaron Potterman, Contributor and Vintage Perfume Expert.

What I like about Dunhill Icon (2015) is how great of a scent it is, especially since it is a mainstream designer fragrance. Niche quality! It's a green citrus from petitgrain also with bergamot and neroli but also woody and slightly herbal from vetiver. Its perfection and my number one spring scent under a $100! –Sebastian Jara, Contributor and Founder of Looking Feeling Smelling Great

Girl on a Swing by Maxfield Parrish

.Jimmy – Bruno Fazzolari  (2013) Light violets, ambergris, roses and a little mossy loam. This scent is like getting up at dawn when the flowers on the road still are damp and seeing where that road takes you before anyone gets up and out.  A happy, invigorating, "me time" kind of scent perfect for damp Spring mornings. – Pam Barr   Sr. Contributor

GLENN BROWN  man with a flower as head

Sanae Intoxicants – Meadow Slumber: This is one of my must haves (natural perfumer Sanae Barber). Great all year long – easing winters dark days and cold nights with its fresh warm brightness but I turn to it even more when the days start to warm up and the layers upon layers of clothing start to go away. Notes:bergamot, lavender, labdanum, balsam of peru, vetiver

Charna Ethier of Providence Perfume Co. Tabac Citron (2009) is sophisticated happiness in a bottle. Timeless. It smells like a warm day in the sun in the French countryside. Notes: cedrat, lavender, black spruce, blond tobacco, sandalwood – Zee Boudreaux, Natural Perfumery Contributor

The Secret Garden Daniela Majic

Une Cœur en Mai by MDCI composed by Patricia de Nicolai in 2009 is spring in a bottle. Muguet is at the heart of this beautifully rendered scent, as delicate as a watercolor painting.  The  green of galbanum  and hyacinth  remind us of verdant   shoots  pushing  through the earth, as puffs of mimosa clouds drift by. The aroma of  first roses  are carried  on a gentle  spring  breeze.  Joyful, hopeful and absolutely lovely.  Michelyn Camen Editor in Chief and Bettina Korp, Guest Contributor

When spring has sprung, the season of love and passion begins. For me Anais Beguine of Jardins Ecrivains La Dame aux Camélias (2012) is the perfect choice. A bouquet of tender violets, voluptous roses and  camelia that  is as soft and seductive as a kiss. The base with its sensual musk and hints of vanilla and tonka awaken desire.  Sprtiz it on sun warmed naked skin– Bettina Korp, Guest Contributor and Author of Nosey Nose

Folly by Meghan Howland

 When I wear strong animalic musk perfumes, anyone within 10 feet becomes so frightened that they throw me their wallet and car keys then run away. Les Nombres d'Or Musc (2010) isn't a scary beast, rather it reminds me of the Grimm fairytale of Snow White and Rose Red, the two sisters, one shy, one outgoing who make friends with a big ol' bear. The bear is a metaphor for how deftly Mona di Orio worked with musk, taming it, reining it in, and teaching it manners. A hopeful neroli note quickly gives way to a powdery puff of almond scented heliotrope and a cheerful rose warmed by the sweetness of tonka beans. If you are like me and enjoy wearing gourmands in warmer weather, but want a fragrance that doesn't smell like a pastry, Mona's Musc is a must. Did I mention I have nearly drained  my second bottle ( Wish list? The new Pierre Dinand gold flacon).

I am not a fan of BIG white florals.  Instead of singing on my skin they can screech. Blame it on the indoles. Gardenia, ylang-ylang and jasmine are all DIVAS and can overpower in a perfume, shoving each each other for center stage.  M.Micallef Gardenia  (2002) is a chorus not an aria; beautiful  fleshy blooms  and peach notes  sing  sweetly all the way through this perfume's very long life, musk and sandalwood seeming to act as invisible cushions upon which the three white queens languorously croon into the night. –Michelyn Camen, Editor in Chief

    I’d love to win Mona di Orio Les Nombres D’Or Musc, MDCI Une Coeur en Mai, La Dame aux Camelias, Sanae Meadow Slumber, Parfums Divine L’Infante, or Providence Perfume Tabac Citron in that order of preference. I’m in the US, thanks for the draw.

  • I love spring! Everything seems to come alive, the flowers, the leaves, and the birds. There is also that fresh smell of the earth in the air.

    I love the selections for this spring, particularly Dunhill Icon. I would have written this off had I not read Sebastian’s review. But now I will make sure to sample it when I see it. Love the other selections as well.

    Love this list. I am particularly fond of green florals for spring that capture the, as mentioned above, dewlike early morning moment of seeing young flowers blooming! Une Coeur en Mai is a favorite of mine. Related to that, so is Chamade (vintage EdC). I do like a dose of white flowers, though the one most appropriate to spring for me is the chilly/cool Tubereuse Criminelle. I’m in the US and I’d love to enter to win

    Bruno Discovery Set

    I live in EU. Thanks for the draw!

  • marcopietro says:

    Your Top 10 Spring Perfume is great, but a bit too much feminine and floral for me. Anyway it contains a high level of quality, it’s a perfect olfactory portrait of Botticelli Spring.
    I’d love to win:
    Meadow Slumber
    MdO Les Nombres D’Or Musc
    Une Cœur en Mai by MDCI
    I live in Italy.
    Thanks for the draw!

  • I love spring. I lived in the tropics for a while and was astounded to see my beloved harbingers of spring, daffodils, for sale for $1 each, instead of $1 a bunch (it was a while ago).

    I’m not overly familiar with too many on your list. But I love me some Mona.

    I’d love to win:
    Mona di Orio Musc
    Micallef Gardenia
    Jardin d’Ecrivains La Dame aux Caméllias

    I’m in Australia.

    I’d love to win:
    MDCI Une Cœur en Mai
    Jardin d’Ecrivains La Dam aux Camellias
    Micallef Gardenia
    Sanae Meadow Slumber

    I’m in the U.S. and thanks very much for the draw!

    Providence Perfume Co Tabac Citron
    Bruno Fazzolari Discovery Set

    3. L’ Infante by Parfums by Divine

  • This is a great list, and I wholeheartedly second L’Infante by Parfums Divine. It is such a beautiful scent.

    My choices would be:
    1. Un Coeur en Mai by MDCI
    2. Meadow Slumber
    3. L’Infante
    4. Bruno Fazolari discovery set
    5. La Dame Aux Camelias

  • I love perfume lists and have been looking forward to the Spring 2016 recommendations. The Top Ten are excellent choices, and I especially like that naturals were included. If I were fortunate to be picked, my choices would be:

    1. Meadow Slumber (what a great name!)
    2. Une Coeur en Mai
    3. L’Infante
    4. Tabac Citron
    5. Although big, white florals don’t normally work for me, I’ll include M. Micallef Gardenia because of Michelyn’s lovely description.

    I am in the U.S.

  • Good looking list for 2016. My husband loves his Dunhill Icon and we have tried some of the Fazzolari’s. But overall the Une Cœur en Mai by MDCI sounds lovely and a must try.
