Tester feedback: “This is the grown-up floral I’ve been searching for, which is to say, it has more depth to it than just, well, florals,” writes Allure commerce editor Sarah Han. “Don’t get me wrong: The heart notes of orange flower water and jasmine blossom are gorgeous but I love the hints of vanilla cream, and splashes of fruit (hi, mandarin) that peek through as it settles. Every sniff is a burst of energy, but also refined and grounding.”
Key notes: mandarin splash, pink pepper, jasmine blossom | Available sizes: 9.5 ml, 50 ml
The Girly Gourmand: LoveShackFancy Forever in Love Eau de Parfum
Why we love it: LoveShackFancy’s ultra-femme, ultra-cute aesthetic has officially been distilled into fragrance form, and frankly, we’re thrilled we get to experience it. The mélange of juicy pear, fresh gardenia, and mandarin is sweet as can be, and a hint of rose and cedarwood add some depth without using the charming youthfulness. Coquette isn’t over until we say it is, and this vintage inspired bow bottle is the aesthetic’s final boss.
Tester feedback: “Florals for spring might not sound groundbreaking, but this perfume truly captures that whimsical, joyful vibe that’s perfect for bringing in the season,” writes Allure social media manager Bianca Richards. “The scent feels like that first breath of fresh air after a cold, muggy winter, with notes of green pear, gardenia, jasmine, and cedarwood. Honestly, the refreshing aroma is so uplifting and vibrant — it somehow embodies the essence of sisterhood.”
Key notes: pear, gardenia, cedarwood | Available sizes: 100 ml, 200 ml
The Chic Chypre: Hermès Barénia Eau de Parfum
Why we love it: Chypre fragrances have been having a moment since three major companies launched their versions in fall of 2024. What exactly is a chypre, you ask? Traditionally, these fragrances contain a combination of notes based on ingredients found on the island of Cyprus. “The classic chypre has a structure of bergamot at the top, rose (sometimes rose and jasmine) at the heart, and patchouli and oakmoss at the base, the latter of which the island is known for. That relationship between the bright citrus on top and the deep mossy, earthy base is what makes a chypre a chypre,” Sophie Panych previously wrote for Allure.
