10 Skin Scents Perfect For Spring
Leap into spring with a scent that’s there but not entirely in your face. A skin scent is the perfect touch of smell you’ll want come spring.
Skin scents are delicate fragrances that are essentially meant to emulate skin smell. Yes, it sounds redundant but hear me out for a bit. Remember the “My lips, but better” trend that caused a wave where we were all on the hunt for lipstick shades that looked similar to one’s natural lip a few years back? Well, this is pretty much the fragrance equivalent to that.
Skin scents fit right into our current focus on minimalism and subtly. Generally, one may find delicate aromas with a ‘natural’ fragrance like wood, florals, or even woods, fresh linen. Though a skin scent may not necessarily be restricted by any season, the fresh, delicate smell can be perfect for spring.
Glossier You
Price: $60.00
The caption reads that Glossier You “melts in to enhance the creamy, salty, warm, clean scent of your skin.” The scent has hints of musk iris root and pink pepper and is subtle but long-lasting.
Elizabeth Arden White Tea
Price: $42
Another thing about these ideal skin scents is that many of them are reasonably priced and not to be underestimated regarding their longevity. This particular fragrance from Elizabeth Arden has dominant citrus notes and white iris, and a slight musk smell.

Perfect for a sunny, colorful day is this Maison Margiela fragrance called “Under The Lemon Trees.” The scent is designed for any gender and has the smell of fresh citrus and fruits.

This fragrance (perhaps like Clinique’s ’Happy’) somewhat straddles the line of a skin scent and a fragrance. Nonetheless, it’s woody and spicy with a touch of sweetness and has been a big favorite for many years.

Now before you fight me, hear me out on this one. Though the scent is forward, musk and sandalwood’s undertones make it imitate skin ever so slightly. Am I reaching? Most probably. However, it is a fresh fragrance perfect for the spring
