Whether you’re drawn to fresh floral spritzes or deeper, evening-ready musks, the FASHION team’s favourite spring fragrances are all about balancing wearability with everyday luxury. Consider this your curated guide to the scents set to define the season ahead.

Prada Paradoxe Eau de Parfum

I always find myself gravitating toward amber, which gives this fragrance its distinctive finish. The perfect blend of musk and fresh notes, this Prada pick stays in my day-to-night beauty rotation.

Korres Bergamot+ Leather Cologne

This has been my go-to for a few years now. It’s a clean, citrusy scent with leathery undertones and complex notes throughout. Each time I wear it, it reminds me of summers spent in Athens.

Hermès Musc Pallida Eau de Parfum

This scent feels like entering a quiet and expertly decorated room where every element plays off the others beautifully. The powdery notes are deftly balanced with iris and musk, and the result is unspeakably elegant, restrained yet just a little indulgent.

Souzan Michael Galway, Beauty & Brand Strategy Director

The 7 Virtues Coconut Sun

Mentally, I am always on a beach with a margarita in hand, so I love to have a scent that can feed into my delusion. Enter: my years-long obsession with solar fragrances. My current favourite is The 7 Virtues’ Coconut Sun, a dreamy blend of coconut, citrus, sea salt, frangipani, jasmine and vanilla. Bonus: it’s a Canadian brand!

Henry Rose London 1983 Eau de Parfum

This is my sensory beauty reset. It sits close to the skin, opening with a creamy fig sharpened by black pepper—subtle but with a quiet bite. It settles into soft florals, warm musk and blond woods. Wearing it feels intimate and unfussy, like I have things under control even when I very much don’t.
