Presenting Your Warm-Weather Fragrance Collection: From Light Spring Blooms to Refreshing Summer Fruits

      There’s something inherently appealing about having a seasonal fragrance collection. While some might view it as somewhat extravagant to have specific perfumes for distinct months, I completely disagree. Just as we have cutoff tees and airy linen pants for the summer—definitely not suitable for winter—and warm wool coats for colder weather, I believe that a signature, seasonal scent is the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. In this transitional period between spring and summer, we get to enjoy a blend of warm-weather fragrances. Orange blossom perfumes and salty aquatic scents are unmistakably summery, while fresh florals and ultra-green aromas have become classic spring choices. However, you don't have to stick to just one season's scent profile when choosing a fragrance that fits May and June's unpredictable weather. The beauty editors at Who What Wear have been curating their fragrance collections for some time and are taking these warm-weather scents—which range from citrusy to earthy and gourmand—into the upcoming sweltering summer. Read on to discover the fragrances that have complemented our S/S 26 wardrobes.

      **11 Spring-to-Summer Fragrances to Try Right Now**

      **D.S. & Durga**

      *Cowgirl Grass Eau de Parfum*

      **Key notes**: Peony, lychee, flowering grass, soft musk

      D.S. & Durga's Cowgirl Grass may just be the quintessential spring-to-summer fragrance. The earthy, grassy middle notes combined with peony and pink geranium evoke imagery of a wildflower-filled meadow between spring rain and summer sunshine. Bright lychee and jasmine water serve as a fresh start, reminiscent of stepping into lush grass. In summary, this intricate floral scent is this season's standout.

      **Jo Malone**

      *Scarlet Beetroot Cologne*

      **Key notes**: Beetroot, blackcurrant, patchouli

      An intriguing floral capturing the attention of connoisseurs this season is Jo Malone's new Scarlet Beetroot Cologne. This alternative fruity floral emphasizes the earthy sweetness of beets and blackcurrant, painting an image of a flourishing vegetable patch rather than a typical spring flower arrangement. It’s captivating, welcoming, and refreshingly grounded. If you appreciate seasonal scents that deviate from the norm, this vegetable-inspired spray will surely delight you.

      **Henry Rose**

      *London 1983 Eau de Parfum*

      **Key notes**: Fig, black pepper, jasmine, musk

      A recent bout of beauty spring cleaning led me to downsize my fragrance collection, but I retained a new favorite: Henry Rose's London 1983. This latest release from Michelle Pfeiffer's subtly celebrity-owned brand is a sheer skin scent infused with fig, black pepper, and blonde woods, complemented by water lily and jasmine. It’s light, sweet, and clean. This fragrance serves as a wonderful base or top layer for more complex scents, though it stands impressively on its own as well. I've been wearing it consistently this spring, and I fully expect to continue this summer.

      **Ouai Haircare**

      *Santorini Hair and Body Mist*

      **Key notes**: Honeysuckle, peach, amber

      Body and hair mists are experiencing a major resurgence this year, and WWW beauty editor Kaitlyn McLintock is carrying this Ouai mist into the hot summer months. This light, refreshing mist envelops you in a burst of bright, sweet, and fruity notes from peach, amber, and honeysuckle—evoking visions of sun-soaked Grecian beaches.

      **BVLGARI**

      *Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial Eau de Toilette*

      **Key notes**: Italian citrus, Sri Lankan black tea

      I’ve found it hard to put down this lemony tea fragrance since I received it earlier this spring, and I don’t intend to stop anytime soon. It enriches the skin with a bright wave of lemon right from the start, transitioning into the intoxicating aromas of honeyed, musky black tea. It embodies a clean, bright, and sensual experience all at once.

      **Lore**

      *Lovely and a Little Twisted Eau de Parfum*

      **Key notes**: Candied pistachio, mandarin, geranium, vanilla musk

      Lore’s exquisite, multi-layered perfumes have captivated my attention throughout 2026. I’ve shifted between Sublimity, a tranquil, coconutty fragrance, and the smoky Disfruta, but Lore’s Lovely and a Little Twisted feels particularly fitting for the transitional months. It’s a classy, candied floral that elegantly elevates the gourmand category. The stunning packaging and chic matte finish keep my eye (and nose) drawn to this delightful lemon-yellow bottle.

      **Parfums de Marly**

      *Athénaïs Eau de Parfum*

      **Key notes**: Neroli, orange flower absolute, tonka bean absolute
