spring fragrances

Spring is one of the very best times of the year for beauty enthusiasts, as it’s a season filled with newness. Every year, we wait with bated breath to see which new fragrances will grace our shelves as we begin to pack away our heavier scents and make room for lighter counterparts.

This Spring, we’re spoilt with a selection of new fragrances, but we’re also saving space for the florals that have become part of our collection.

These are the five fragrances our editor recommends for Spring 2026 – and beyond.

2026 Spring fragrance edit: 5 Beauty-editor-approved scents for the new season 1

Women’Secret Peach of Desire EDP

The fruit of temptation has a new name… Playful, irresistible and undeniably indulgent, Peach of Desire is pure enjoyment. It’s the epitome of pleasure without guilt, and we love this scent’s sweet confidence. Expect a juicy fruity floral fragrance with notes of peach and tangerine, jasmine, amberwoods, tonka bean and vanilla.

“Peach of Desire is the perfect addition to your spring fragrance wardrobe. It’s juicy, sensual, playful and bold. This is the fragrance for a woman who is confident and doesn’t take herself – or life – too seriously. I love the modern take on the peach fragrance note, and its position as the new fruit of temptation. After all, we all know peaches are juicier than apples.” Anien – Editor

CHANEL COCO MADEMOISELLE CRUSH ABSOLUE EDP

Introducing CRUSH ABSOLUE, the captivating and magnetic new member of the COCO MADEMOISELLE family. Embodying the power of attraction, it sparks a liberating rush, like love at first sight. With fruity, floral, and woody-ambery accords, CRUSH ABSOLUE offers a deeper and more ambery evolution of the original COCO MADEMOISELLE fragrance. The opening notes reveal a zesty, fresh lychee-grapefruit accord. The heart of the fragrance is driven by jasmine and rose, and the dry down reveals deep, mysterious woody-ambery base notes, including patchouli, vanilla, and vetiver.

“The original COCO MADEMOISELLE has always been one of my favourite fragrances, but CRUSH ABSOLUE has since taken its place. Its mystique, sensuality and captivating femininity have a pull that’s impossible to resist. The fragrance is so elegant; it embodies the timeless sophistication of the CHANEL brand, with a touch of mysterious allure. In my opinion, this is CHANEL’s most compelling fragrance launch over the past couple of years.” Anien – Editor

Dolce&Gabbana Your Devotion Eau de Parfum Intense

This intoxicating new fragrance celebrates love as an act of courage – a treasure to be cherished. It tells the story of promises kept, and differences overcome. A fruity-floral gourmand, it honours the original Devotion’s signature while reimagining it with a playful yet sensual fruity twist. Juicy Sicilian melon and zesty mandarin offer a vibrant splash, followed by a delicate floral heart of gardenia and orange blossom. The base reveals comforting vanilla milk, sandalwood and oakmoss.

“The Devotion fragrance collection has a special place in my heart, and this new addition might just be my favourite in the range. It offers a unique composition of zesty fruit notes, delicate florals, and milky base notes. The fragrance is warm and creamy while still staying fresh. Milky fragrance notes are really enjoying their moment in the spotlight, and I’m here for it.” Anien – Editor

Sol de Janeiro Limited-Edition Leite Café & Leite Néctar Perfume Mists

This limited-edition duo offers a fresh take on the emerging world of milky gourmand fragrances. Le Leite draws on the comforting rituals of Brazilian café and dessert culture. These mists invite you to slow down, savour the moment that brings people together, and satisfy your cravings. In the world of Le Leite, fragrance is simply delicious.

“What a tantalising duo. Leite Café Perfume Mist, a milky gourmand scent, is inspired by café com leite, a tiny, hot and sweetened Brazilian coffee traditionally enjoyed with milk. It smells like a hot latte, creamy coconut and lychee sorbet. Leite Néctar Perfume Mist is a milky, fruity gourmand, inspired by Brazilian pave de pêssego, a layered peach dessert. Think juicy peach, coconut milk and sweet cream. These mists are simply delectable. In fact, the saying ‘good enough to eat’ comes to mind every time I spritz them.” Anien – Editor

NUXE Prodigieux Floral Le Parfum

Prodigieux Floral Le Parfum embodies the lighter side of life. Fresh, summery and delicately floral, this fragrance is uplifting and instantly lifts one’s mood. The scent awakens the senses with notes of invigorating grapefruit, feel-good magnolia and subtle white musk.

“NUXE skincare is known for its memorable-yet-delicate floral scent, so it was only natural for the brand to craft a selection of fragrances that build on that signature scent. I love floral fragrances, and this one has a perfectly balanced composition that’s floral without being overpowering and fresh without being forgettable. It’s easy to wear day and night, and I find it simply beautiful.” Anien – Editor
