We’re currently spring cleaning everything from our closets to our makeup brushes. And now, we’re switching it up in the fragrance department, too. It’s time to tuck away the heavy perfumes we’ve worn all winter and go for something lighter and fresher. Sure, we all have a signature scent we love, but seasonally, if our wardrobe is changing, then so should our hair, makeup and perfume options. Here, 10 new fragrances that bring sunshine and spring blooms to mind with inspiration ranging from Los Angeles to the Mediterranean and almost every kind of floral note out there.
