Miss Dior Parfum, $210

SHOP

Wild strawberries are at the heart of this dreamy new take on Miss Dior, which blends the juicy red berry with stone fruits like apricot and peach and blossoming jasmine. But take our word for it—this scent is anything but cloying. A base of amber, amberwood, moss and cedar keep things earthy and grounded and add an air of mystery to this elegant scent.

SHOP

ICYMI: Salt & Stone has finally arrived at Sephora Canada, and we couldn’t be more delighted. Though the brand is best known for its sweat-wicking and aesthetically pleasing lineup of deodorants, we couldn’t help but fall in love with its lineup of body mists. There’s Bergamot & Hinoki and Santal & Vetiver, but we’re especially enamoured with Black Rose & Oud—a deep and sexy take on romantic rose. Buy the matching hand cream, body wash and deodorant to drench yourself head-to-toe in this indulgent fragrance.

Armani My Way Eau de Parfum Nectar

Armani My Way Eau de Parfum Nectar

Armani My Way Eau de Parfum Nectar, $160

SHOP

I was in Madrid recently when I discovered this scent. I was in a car with one of my trip companions when I sniffed the air and thought to myself, what is that beautiful scent? I asked her what she was wearing, and she told me it was Armani My Way Nectar. I knew I needed to acquire a bottle asap. It was like being hit in the face with a cloud of juicy pear, and I loved it. But this isn’t a one-note scent, there’s depth and complexity, too. Bright notes of citrus, a hint of vanilla and lots of tiny white blooms work together to leave a lasting memory.

The Maker Lover

The Maker Lover Eau de Parfum

The Maker Lover Eau de Parfum, $236

SHOP

NY-based lifestyle fragrance brand and boutique hotel spot The Maker turns out some spectacular fragrances, and The Lover is my pick for the spring season. Founders Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg (formerly of skincare brand Fresh) developed a line of clean, unisex fragrances meant to transport the wearer to a world of fantasy, and that’s exactly what The Lover does. A potent combination of fig, vetiver, jasmine and oud create a scent that’s sensual and layered. When I met Glazman, I told him Fresh’s classic Cannabis Santal scent is still one of my favourites in my collection, and he told me The Lover is something like a grown-up spin on the scent. I couldn’t agree more.

Michelle Pfeiffer‘s clean fragrance line Henry Rose is another new-to-Sephora brand, and it’s generating tons of buzz. With a minimalist, unisex approach, these scents have creative and curious names that make you want to smell them—Jake’s House, Tar and Dark is Night. But our favourite of the bunch? Windows Down, a name that immediately evokes thoughts of cruising in the sunshine and feeling the wind in your hair. It smells like tart grapefruit and zesty bergamot layered with honeyed neroli, earl grey tea, jasmine, and musk. We’ll take it.

If spring reminds you of blooming flowers, festive celebrations and biting into sweet, juicy fruit, you’ll instantly fall in love with NEST New York’s Lychee rose. The first time you smell it, you’ll immediately detect the addictive combination of fresh rose and lychee, but after a while the fragrance evolves into something even more exciting. Raspberry turns up the fruity factor big time while pink champagne adds an extra layer of fizziness to this sparkling, joyful scent.

Carolina Herrera is back with yet another addition to the Good Girl fragrance lineup. Introducing Good Girl Blush Elixir,  a more intense take on the Good Girl Blush scent. With rose, vanilla and patchouli and a ribbon of ylang-ylang, this warm floral scent works year-round but feels extra pretty in early spring months when the season is just starting to warm up.
