When I was growing up, I had two choices for perfumes: You either smell like a rose, or you smell like vanilla. Those super-sweet scents might make you wary of trying floral perfumes, but trust me when I say that they've come a long, long way. Even if you gravitate towards a musky, leathery scent, you can find one that incorporates hints of tuberose or iris in the most fascinating, brightening way. The weather is colder, but if you're thinking that floral perfumes should be saved for the springtime ("Groundbreaking") you've got it all wrong. What better time to tap the uplifting powers of fresh florals than when you're bogged down by chilly winter winds?
Like an intoxicating fling that keeps you checking your phone for new messages every second, these new fresh, sultry spring fragrances will have you sneaking deep whiffs of your clothing for hours on end. Whether you're into sweet scents, citrusy notes, or some woodsy musk, there's a floral perfume that will introduce some freshness into your new fragrance.
