With spring fully sprung, winter woes have melted away and the sun stays in the sky longer and longer each day. And as you put away the long johns and heated blankets, you should also shelve any fragrances with cozy leanings—the smoky, leathery, spicy numbers that pair well with cold weather wear. It’s time to rotate in scents with more levity to match the springtime mood.
“Spring always leads me to reach for greener, dewier fragrances that hint of longer days and renewal,” says fragrance and grooming journalist Haydn Williams, who hosts the grooming-centric Man in the Mirror podcast. “Matching a fragrance to the spring season helps to amplify this sense of new beginnings. Spring is the most optimistic season and I tend to want my scent to echo that feeling, so I keep it citrusy, green, and bright.”
