With each change of season, comes the perfect time to switch up your scent, luckily Beauty Boy is here to steer you in the right direction.

One of the most exciting things to switch up when seasons change is your perfume.

While this winter may not be going away anytime soon, it’s still the perfect time to start searching for your signature spring fragrance. Spring is the perfect season to try out soft floral and fragrant citrus tones. With all the exciting fragrance launches that have been happening, you are sure to find the perfect match.

One of my favourite launches so far has been the Chanel No. 5 L’Eau. It is a beautiful interpretation of the iconic Chanel perfume with a much more delicate heart and base tones. It features a crisp lemon top note, with the sophisticated rose and then finishes with a white musk. While this perfume is on the costlier side, it truly is a gorgeous fragrance that would be perfect for the spring.

Another exciting product that has been re-launched again (since it was so popular and was supposed to be only limited edition) is Thierry Mugler’s Angel Sucree. The beautifully crafted, star shape bottle is filled with notes of Oriental vanilla, berries and Mugler’s iconic base note: patchouli. While this perfume definitely has similarities to the original Angel, it is much sweeter so it can definitely be worn by a younger person.

Marc Jacob’s Divine Decadence is a perfume you must experience this spring, even if you don’t like the actual fragrance itself. The bottle alone is a work of art, shaped like an evening clutch bag with a gold chain and snakeskin print. While this version is lighter than the original, it still has a mature scent to it with notes of gardenia, honeysuckle, saffron and amber. Divine Decadence is a perfect evening fragrance for the spring, on the perfect date night out.

Moschino’s Fresh Couture fragrance (while it is not new) it is still a great choice for a spring scent. This Windex window cleaner shaped bottle is filled with such a fresh, citrus scent that it will definitely turn heads. It features top notes of mandarin and bergamot and finishes with juicy raspberries and patchouli.

Now is the perfect time to start shopping around for that perfect scent for spring. With all the new and exciting launches as well as some old-time classics, there are plenty of perfumes out there to ensure you find the right one.
