1. Tuberose

Tuberose is often associated with sensuality and passion due to its rich and complex scent profile that is both sweet, floral, and a bit plasticky. This white flower is a popular choice in the perfume industry, frequently featured in high-end fragrances, cosmetics, and essential oils. A marvelous example of tuberose forward fragrance is Rogue Perfumery's Champs Lunaires. Sweet and potent, with a hint of coconut and a milky base of sandalwood. Manuel Cross, as always, managed to make a fragrance that is very modern but with a vintage twist.

2. Lavender

Lavender is a beloved flower recognized for its calming effects. The scent of lavender is fresh and floral, accompanied by herbal notes. This aromatic flower is commonly used in essential oils, sachets, and culinary dishes. In fragrances is often associated with more traditionally masculine fragrances such as fougeres, out of which our favorite is certainly Penhaligon's Sartorial created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Lavender note in this perfume is sweet and powdery, with the hint of metallic notes which will remind you of freshly washed and pressed white shirts. Even though this fragrances is a staple fougere, we think this lavander notes is absolutely unisex and should be enjoyed by everyone.

3. Linden Blossom

Linden blossom, also known as lime blossom has a sweet and innocent floral aroma. It is commonly used in herbal teas, as it is believed to help improve sleep quality and reduce symptoms of stress. For us, linden blossom certainly reduces stress, as it reminds us of spring walks in the park under fragrant linden tries. To conjure these happy feelings any time, we just spray Vouloir Être Ailleurs C.G. by D’ORSAY, which brings us right back to the park with just one sniff. In our opinion, Olivia Giacobetti's creation is one of the most realistic and beautiful linden blossom fragrances that has ever been made.

4. Lilac

Lilac flowers are celebrated for their stunning clusters of small blooms with colors ranging from deep purple to soft lavender. Often described as having a fresh and uplifting white floral aroma, lilacs are a popular choice for springtime celebrations and floral arrangements. They mark the beginning of spring with their amazing and very potent fragrance eminating from tall bushes peeking above the fences. Ineke's After my Own Heart (created by Ineke Ruhland) is an amazing fragrance with a very realistic and strong lilac note, dewy and clean.

5. Mimosa

Mimosas have delicate, fern-like foliage and vibrant yellow fluffy flowers. Often found in gardens and parks, they are also planted because of their ability to attract pollinators. The scent of mimosa is light, sweet, and slightly powdery, often evoking feelings of warmth and innocence. Mimosas are also popular in perfumery, associated with a sense of playfulness. A beautiful example of mimosa-forward fragrance is Teo Cabanel's Randez Vouz created by Marie Schnirer, which perfectly balances sweet honied and powdery facets of this floral note.
