Spring always feels like a reset – a chance to have a fresh look on life and step out into something lighter. And what better way to do that than with a fresh new scent? The 5 fragrances below reflect that same energy, blending fresh notes that feel perfect for right now.
L’Homme, Elie Saab
L’Homme is Elie Saab’s first men’s fragrance and poetic vision of masculinity – confident, charismatic, and dressed in quiet elegance. Crafted by perfumer Pierre Guéros, it’s a composition that balances the richness of the East with the refined clarity of the West. Think vibrant pink pepper and bergamot up top, followed by smoky vetiver, cedarwood, and a heart that radiates warmth with myrrh and patchouli.
There’s a soft sensuality that makes this woody vetiver blend feel more like a statement than a scent – modern, magnetic, and made for the man who knows who he is.
Why ‘Eau Forte’ is the natural evolution of the iconic Dior Sauvage?
Auburn, COS
Known for their clean lines and timeless wardrobe pieces, COS has ventured into fragrance with a collection that mirrors their design ethos. ‘Auburn’, crafted in Grasse, is a refined blend of dark vanilla, cardamom, and coffee, all resting on a base of warm woods. It’s a little sweet, a little smoky – and surprisingly intimate.
The scent wears close to the skin, making it ideal for daytime layering or evening allure. Consider it the fragrance equivalent of your favourite tailored coat: understated, elevated, and made to last.
Le Male Elixir Absolu, Jean Paul Gaultier
Jean Paul Gaultier’s Le Male gets turned all the way up in Elixir Absolu – a deeper, more intense reimagining of the iconic scent. It opens with a spicy plum accord that immediately grabs attention, then settles into warm lavender and tonka bean.
The bottle – a gold-dipped version of the iconic torso – mirrors the fragrance inside: luxurious, bold, and completely unapologetic. If you’re looking for a scent that turns heads after dark, this one wears like a golden hour glow.
Paula’s Ibiza Eclectic, Loewe
Loewe’s ‘Paula’s Ibiza’ collection has always captured the carefree energy of a beachside escape, and ‘Eclectic’ might just be its most vibrant edition yet. Crafted by in-house perfumer Nuria Cruelles, this Eau de Toilette is floral and gourmand – with notes of orange blossom, jasmine, Madagascan mandarin, and a touch of black pepper for unexpected edge.
It’s the scent of barefoot walks at dusk, salty skin, and that first sip of something cold after a sun-drenched day. Add in the stunning campaign visuals featuring Enzo Vogrincic, and you’ve got a scent that’s as much a mood as it is a fragrance.
Saut Hermès 2025, Hermès
Created by Christine Nagel, Hermès’ Creative Director of Perfumes, Saut Hermès 2025 is a poetic tribute to a personal moment – her time with a horse named Hermès Ryan at Le Saut Hermès, the brand’s annual equestrian event.
Saut Hermès 2025 fragrance is anything but conventional. Nagel blends botanical and woody amber notes with a raw authenticity that conjures the scent of hay-strewn stables, supple leather tack, and sun-dried oats.
