3 Best Fragrances For Spring 2025

Green Fragrances for Spring 2025 image by Steven

 The endless winter is finally (almost) over and green shoots push through the earth. The days are longer and mornings sunnier. March 20th 2025 is the Spring Equinox and the day is as long as the night. March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day so it’s all about the wearing of the green. Green fragrances can be leafy, grassy scents that immediately bring to mind the beauty of nature reawakening, walks in the forest or through a garden. Green Fragrances can be herbal, floral, fresh, fruity, leafy, citrus and aromatic. Video editor Steven Gavrielatos and I curated three green fragrances for Spring 2025. -Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief

 Roja Parfums Harrods Pour Homme is a sophisticated blend of bitter orange, vetiver, and oakmoss. The earthy tones convey class and sophistication while the bitter orange opening is bright and beckoning. This verdant composition is highly evocative of the spring time when the earth is being restored to its vivid, green hue. –Steven

Notes: Lemon, Bergamot, Lime, Orange, Bitter Orange, Litsea Cubeba, Lavender, Thyme, Geranium, Rose de Mai, Neroli, Jasmin de Grasse, Ylang Ylang, Violet, Galbanum, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Juniper, Casmir Wood, Vanilla, Orris Sur Cèdre, Orris, Labdanum, Ambrarome Absolute, Musk

INeKE Balmy Days and Sundays (Ineke Ruhland) is a green grassy floral with rose, honeysuckle and an especially spectacular mimosa note. Wear this and you’ll feel like you are wiggling your toes through a freshly mown lawn watching clouds float by in a bright blue sky. It’s perfect to wear anytime you want to bring the outdoors indoors. B is for brilliant. New to the brand? Ineke has a sampling program-Michelyn

Notes: freesia, leafy greens, grass, honeysuckle, rose, mimosa, chypre accent, musk

Parfums de Marly Greenley lives up to its name… it is green, citrusy, fruity and fresh at the top, with a note Givaudan captive pomorose© which brings to mind a juicy and tart green apple. The drydown takes us from the orchard to a walk in the woods. Amberwood keeps the subtle sweetness alive in the base while cashmeran adds depth and woodiness Although marketed as a men’s fragrance, it’s totally unisex. Notes: Sicilian Bergamot, Mandarin, Green Apple, Cashmere Wood, Cedarwood, Petitgrain, Violet, Pomarose©, Oakmoss, Musk, Amberwood Accord- Michelyn

    It’s fascinating how my brain works when choosing a perfume.
    During the cold weather, I miss the green and citrus scents I wear during Spring and Summer, while way in heat of Summer, I miss the heavy scents.

    Harrods Pour Homme, considering that Steven has thousands of bottles, he owns a backup of it. That says a lot.
    Unfortunately, I never have tried it, but someday.

    Parfums de Marly Greenley, yes. I have tried it and as Steven describes (and name implies), it’s green and refreshing.

    From Massachusetts, USA.

    Good luck to all.

  • Joel Franco says:

    Oh! My goodness, green fragrances that’s what we need here in Texas right now, thanks Steven and Cafleurebon hope I won this giveaway, greetings

  • Jenna Park says:

    Spring is my favorite time of year. I love the earthy citrus fragrances. I love Perfumes de Marly and would love to try Greenly on the other hand I’m not familiar with Ineke and I’m sure that is also a beautiful. I enjoy an apple note if it’s done well and I have no doubt Greenly is perfection especially with the citrus. Michelyns review made these reviews sound like other a beautiful spring day with fresh cut grass or strolling through an orchard gave a beautiful picture to these fragrances. I watch all Steven’s reviews and he also made these sound like a beautiful spring day. Steven got me with the citrus apple vanilla dry down of Greenly.

  • Kim gabert says:

    Loved both reviews and make me excited for spring. Both fragrances sound lovely. The balmy days with notes of rose and the de Marley Greenley with green apple, both sound so fresh and spring ready. Would love to try either one. I am following on Instagram.

  • Dvenable09 says:

    The brand of Ineke is new to me. Completely agree with PDM Greenly. I wish fragrance brands didn’t do “exclusives.” I’ve heard so much talk of Roja Harrods pour homme and can’t get my hands on it.

  • davanna says:

    INeKE Balmy Days and Sundays is my choice for spring wearing because the combination of chypre accents with the freesia, rose and mimosa is intriguing to me. I love the outdoors and from the description this scent seems like it would be invigorating yet calming.

  • Maria says:

    I am so ready for spring and the scents of the flowers in bloom. Where I live many people have orange trees and the blossoms are so fragrant! I enjoyed both Steven and Michelyn’s reviews. It sounds like INeKE Balmy Days and Sundays would be a great addition to my budding collection 😉 pun intended. But all the perfumes are described so fresh and lovely, I wouldn’t mind being gifted any of them!

  • thefragrantcritique says:

    Thank you both for your reviews! They both had me looking forward to the green scents of spring! I’ve been wanting to try PDMs Greenley for awhile, and you’ve both compelled me to move it higher up my list! Good luck to all!

  • Jenna Park says:

    I left a comment on these two spring fragrances. I didn’t put in that have been a follower of cafleurebon on Instagram.

  • costast says:

    Chosen Fragrance: Greenley
    Country of residence: USA

    I thoroughly enjoyed Michelyn and Steven’s reviews. Their descriptions make the scents leap out of the bottle. Spring is such an exciting time for fragrances, as they combine the best of both worlds: bright, fresh, full of energy but also deep, woody and mysterious. Can’t wait to get my nose on the above selections!

  • SandiL says:

    I follow on Instagram; all these sound excellent and fit for Welcome to spring. I love unique and artistic perfumes, so I will go with Balmy Days and Sundays. Thanks for the opportunity.

  • Ramses Perez says:

    Steven really loves that Harrods Roja exclusive, he always features it in many of his lists. Ineke’s Balmy Days is not a fragrance I am familiar with but it sounds very unique; a Chypre with some sweetness and musky tones. Roja’s exclusive in true Roja fashion comes with a batch of notes but the final result it’s always amazing, I need to try that one. Greenley is one of the few fresh offerings from Marly marketed for men and I really also need to try this one as I have not had the chance to. I didn’t realize the timing of this green fragrances video when St Patrick’s is around the corner. Thanks for the reminder that this Thursday will also be the longest day of the year, must enjoy every minute of it! I’m located in the USA and many thanks to all the generous brands gifting these fragrances.

  • Michael Bullock says:

    I wanna be entered into the giveaway because I like PDM Greenly and the other fragrances sound great GOD BLESS

  • Cornelius says:

    Discovered a passion for fragrances about 2 years ago after leaving the Air Force & being in Montana for 4 years. Returned to Alabama where it’s predominately warm/hot/humid throughout the year & have gone thru the trials of learning how fragrances work & when it is appropriate how and when to wear them. Became more so a fan of the fresher fragrances b/c of my location but also b/c I feel that they suit my personality & lifestyle. Fell in love with INEKE Field Notes From Paris & have been interested in discovering more of her scents so I’m taking this opportunity to try for Balmy Days and Sundays. Thank you for the opportunity even if I don’t happen to win. It always feels nice being able to express this joy for fragrance with others who share the passion

  • Christine Lord says:

    I would prefer the INeKE Balmy Days and Sundays because i’m drawn to honeysuckle! It’s the Best smell for my bodu chemestry.

  • YitzyR says:

    Yay I’m so pumped for the spring.
    I personally have sedley,Layton and Herod from PDM and I would love a change to win the Greenley bottle.
    I have smelled it before and it smells amazing. And I love the apple/citrusy notes.

    The roja harrods must be that good if Steven bought 2, would love to try it as well.
    Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!

  • Kevin Wright says:

    I have heard a lot about PDM Greenly. I hope to get to try them this spring and summer.

  • brentm says:

    Steven’s reviews are always on point. I have not tried greenley but hope to soon. I live in the southern USA, so I’ve already started wearing my green fresh scents this year. I follow both of you on Instagram. I would pick Greenley from the 2 options.

  • Melissa K says:

    After the long months of winter, and the deeper fragrances I prefer during the cold months, I am looking forward to a change. I adore bright, green, sparkling, citrus scents but find that too many miss the mark on the green note, making it too synthetic or sharp, or just not to my liking. These fragrances sound beautiful, and they would be fantastic additions to a perfume collection. Kentucky USA (+ IG)

  • LightOfJoy says:

    Michelyn’s description of Balmy Days and Sunday reminds me of some of my favorite childhood memories, along with happily and curiously watching ants march along my skin. That was before I knew of Texas’s rough grass and fire ants.

    By his description of the brand in the video, one can clearly see the respect Steven has for them.

    I would love to win Ineke Balmy Days and Sunday. I live in the USA, and I do follow Cafleurebon on Instagram. Thank you for holding this drawing!

  • Daniel Rutan says:

    Happy Spring!! I need to get some samples of the Harrods and Ineke (thanks for sharing the sampling program!!). Always looking for some fresh new transitional options. With the Roja, I’m intrigued by the combination of the bitter orange and Vetiver as that’s a combination I’ve always loved. I’m sure Roja has put a unique spin on that combination as always. I’ve never tried anything from Ineke before but they’re on my radar now. The combination of floral notes and green notes could be a hit or miss for me, hopefully I love it. And Greenley has been a favorite of mine for years. Thanks for this curated list. I live in Illinois.

  • ShaMaraB says:

    Never heard of INeKe anywhere on social media I would love to give that a try. I’ve heard of Roja but a little expensive and would need to try before I by. I’ve purchased a Boundless man, & Layton for my husband and Valaya for myself. Been torn between sedley & Greenley but after watching video and breakdown of notes & being so excited for spring I’d love to get my nose on It be of these and venture out. Steven does a great job breaking notes down and how the wear and best time to wear them. I’m sure one of the 3 has to be fabulous. Hope I can win one

  • Tina Norheim says:

    I did enjoy the reviews and loved the description of my feet being in green grass. One of my favorite things to do in the spring. I’ve never smelled either one of these two. Balmy Days and Sundays seems to have a very strong emphasis on freshness, which is what spring is all about. But I love the green apple wins my heart over with Greenly. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you.

  • FragheadS says:

    Absolutely love how Steven describes Greenly as a bright, fruity, herbal, spring fragrance, that tart green apple with a hint of vanilla sounds like the perfect way to embody the freshness of spring. Greenley is my favorite from the list. Hoping to win a free bottle via this giveaway!

  • Thebluelotus says:

    Thank you for mentioning the performance and longevity of Balmy Days and Sundays. It’s so hard to find green floral fragrances that actually last, so that info is gold.
    I would love to win a bottle of Parfums de Marley Greenley. USA

  • whispering moonlight says:

    Totally agree with you, Steven, spring is the season when fragrances should feel alive. That’s why Greenly’s crisp green apple and vanilla mix sounds like perfection for me. Wonderful review as always from Steven and Michelyn both.

  • ForTheLoveofFrag says:

    What I get from Greenley is a fresh green vibe that’s not mossy but very clean and fresh. I would love to win a bottle of this it world truly make my world I appreciate niche fragrances and the quality that goes into it, so I’d love to win it.

  • oudmymood says:

    Your description of Greenly as a mass appealing, versatile, and compliment getting fragrance sold me. I love a scent that’s bright and fresh but still has some sweetness and depth with the vanilla and green apple. Totally looking forward to it, greetings.

  • Madden Sinead says:

    Thanks for reminding us that spring has cool and warm days. I usually go for fresh florals but now I am curious to add something like Harrod that has earthy depth too. However, for the giveaway Greenley would be my choice of bottle.

  • muskyrose says:

    As always Steven hits it out of the park with his reviews, but he got me vary curious to try Harrods. According to Michelyn and Steven Ineke Balmy Days is also a must try which I’d love to.
    My choice of bottle if I win will be Parfums de Marly Greenley.

  • Aaronmy says:

    Loved this video, Steven! Definitely entering the giveaway. I would love to try Greenly because it sounds like the ultimate spring refresh. LA,USA

  • oswalson says:

    Wonderful review as always from Steve and luckily for me I’m a Parfums de Marley fan so I’d love to win the Greenley.
    I sampled it once and was intrigued by the apple, green, slightly woody freshness. I would love this for the spring and summer. Appreciate the chance, peace and love.

  • Lophoflora336 says:

    Following on instagram @sassyydora
    Such a great curated list. I really appreciate how you emphasized the “green” and “animated” personalities of these spring scents. The way you described Balmy Days and Sundays as “an olfactive landscape unlike anything before” was amazing.
    Thanks for highlighting artistic houses like Ineke that bring something new. I already have a bottle of Balmy Days hence entering for the Greenley.

  • Arian Jamali says:

    Michelyn’s depiction of Balmy Days and Sundays brings back fond childhood memories for me, including the joy and curiosity of watching ants crawl on my skin.
    From Steven’s explanation of the brand in the video, it’s evident how much respect he holds for them.
    I’d like to win PDM Greenly. I live in USA.
