Better Than a Bouquet: Floral Fragrances for Every Occasion

Floral scents aren't just for spring – they bloom beautifully all year round and each one is as different as the flowers that go into creating them. They can be fresh, light and bright like an armful of daisies, pretty, subtle and delicate like lily of the valley, or rich, sumptuous and brooding like black dahlias. The best and most popular floral perfumes combine florals with other notes, like sparkling citrus, warm wood, tangy fruit, or spicy pepper, for a floral scent that reads both classic and modern — and nothing like your grandmother's rose scent or dusty potpourri bowl — and that is suitable for any occasion, from a buttoned-up office or a casual weekend brunch, to a romantic dinner date or a black-tie event. Here, we explore the most captivating scents from both sides of the garden path. Get ready to spritz!
