The best scents for spring
Spring is a season of change. It’s a time between cosy cottages and sunny beaches.
It’s the time of year that blended and bespoke scents come into their own – because without them, we would all be hunting for a handful of perfumes to carry us between frosty and sunny days. Let us show you how to craft your own spring scent with EPC…
Spring Scent 101
When blending or creating bespoke perfumes, we should keep a few rules of the season in mind.
Firstly, let’s face it, it’s not summer yet. So however you like your scent, ensure you keep a base of grounding wintery notes. This rich foundation will ensure sensuality and provide a contrast to whatever lighter notes you prefer.
When it comes to the heart and top notes, it’s really a matter of preference. Some of us love the sparkle of citrus, and nothing but bergamot will do. On the other hand, there are a lot of floral lovers out there who have waited all winter for spring to blossom.
Play with different depth of scents
Floral scents typically linger on your skin longer, even when they appear subtle. Whereas citrusy notes – which will bite at the beginning – usually develop quicker.
If you’re a blender, why not combine our top range of Essentials (Bergamot Incense, Fig Neroli or Cardamom Moss) with the deep base of Essentials (Sandalwood Musk, Amber Iris or Cedarwood Absinth)? These combinations are the ideal match, and complement each other like nothing else.
And if you’re a bespoke creator, why not try experimenting with something really unique? There's truly no wrong answer – only fresh discoveries.
Our Seasonal Picks
Seeking some spring inspiration? Here's what we're reaching for during this transitional season.
Pistachio Haiku
Craving something green? Sit beneath the trees and inhale the delicate rustle of leaves in a lush pistachio tree orchard. Pistachio Haiku celebrates fresh greenery in all its facets – basil, petitgrain and fig leaves echoing the crunch of green grass beneath bare feet, grounded with the nuttiness of almonds, sesame seeds, tonka beans and green hazelnuts.
1950
Rosebuds are appearing on thorny bushes, and there's no better time to celebrate this quintessential English flower. 1950 combines sparkling citrus with jammy Moroccan rose, softened by sandalwood and leather – the perfect balance between vibrant freshness and rich depth for spring.
Bois Sève
For a more masculine alternative, reach for Bois Sève – a celebration of fresh forest sap, lush green fig leaves and grounding sandalwood. It's earthy, bold and a little different, encapsulating the vibrant warmth and vitality of the woods.
