Maison Margiela REPLICA Flower Market
Flower Market by Maison Martin Margiela recreates the scent of walking into a flower shop with an exquisite freshly cut flower scent. The bouquet is created by freesia, tuberose, jasmine and rose alongside the scent of green leaves. REPLICA Flower Market is an Eau de Toilette so it’s not that heavy, and as a result has moderate lasting power and average sillage. The name of the fragrance truly reflects the scent, making this a perfect fresh floral fragrance.
Versace Bright Crystal Absolu
Absolu is the intense version of Verscace’s Bright Crystal perfume. A fresh peony bouquet makes up the heart of the fragrance while a clever lotus note brings out the aquatic nature of the flowers. Versace Bright Crystal Absolu has a raspberry note added so it’s slightly sweeter than the original Bright Crystal perfume.
I think the Versace crystal perfumes are really underrated; check out my article on the range here.
Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet
Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet is a floral fragrance characterised by a relatively unusual sweet pea note. In my view the fragrance does accurately recreate the scent of sweet pea flowers. Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet Eau de Toilette is however a very delicate fragrance, and so it makes it quite an expensive fragrance to use as it requires constant topping up.
Check out my article on the different versions of Miss Dior.
Floral Street Wonderland Peony
Floral Street Wonderland Peony opens with fresh notes of guava, red berries and Sicilian lemon. However, the main note is a fresh peony bouquet which is supported by a sweet cotton candy note. This fun base note works really well with the clean peony fragrance to create a youthful and fun element to the fragrance composition.
Floral Street is a British perfume brand which is vegan and cruelty-free.
Jimmy Choo L’eau
Jimmy Choo L’Eau is a light floral scent which is slightly sweet and feels very innocent. It opens with notes of bergamot and nectarine followed by a heart of hibiscus flower and a gorgeous peony. Jimmy Choo L’Eau is a great floral option for summer days when you’re looking for something light and uplifting.
Maison Margiela REPLICA Springtime In The Park
Springtime in a Park by Maison Martin Margiela is part of their REPLICA fragrance range which aim to recreate the scents and feeling of real life place. The fragrance opens with a dewy fresh pear note which is then backed up by a feminine lily-of-the-valley. This is a clean and uplifting scent that really does smell like the scent of new buds and fresh leaves as Spring blooms in the park.
Coach Floral Blush
Coach Floral Blush is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance. The peony, peach and grapefruit notes are the most prominent notes. It’s a fresh, floral scent with a citrusy zing. I like to use this during the springtime, it is a quick easy grab scent with no complexities or special notes. Coach fragrances can usually be found discounted and I think it’s great value for money.
Givenchy Irresistible
Irresistible by Givenchy is my favourite floral perfume. It’s a sparkling, fresh fruity floral fragrance that has a beautiful contrast of a modern, dewy rose accord with a radiant and aquatic pear note. It gives me picnic vibes and I think it is great during warm weather as it’s pretty light. It’s a beautiful, divine, clean and feminine fragrance that truly lives up to its name of being an irresistible scent.
Estee Lauder Beautiful Magnolia
Estée Lauder’s Beautiful Magnolia really is magnolia blossom in a bottle! It’s a universal, fresh floral fragrance with amazing longevity. The initial notes have a bright hit of pink florals and magnolia blossom with an underlying aquatic note from water lotus and maté. This is another one of my top floral recommendations however, watch out for the intense version which is a totally different iris scent. For more information check out my article on the Estée Lauder Beautiful Magnolia fragrances.
Lancôme Idôle
Lancôme Idôle is a modern floral fragrance with an elegant and high quality blend of pear, rose, jasmine and bergamot. This can be worn as an everyday fresh floral scent that can be relied upon to last a long time.
There are four different version of Lancôme Idôle; check out my article comparing the different versions.
YSL Libre Eau De Toilette
Libre Eau de Toilette by Yves Saint Laurent is a pretty orange blossom fragrance which is a lighter, fresher take on their signature Libre fragrance. The fresh and fruity orange notes are perfect for the Spring time. I use this fragrance during the Spring and Summer as its uplifting and has a striking sweet citrus blend that I enjoy!
Elie Saab Le Parfum Lumiére
Elie Saab Le Parfum Lumiére has an amazing blend of orange, jasmine and a sparkling orange blossom that sticks around and makes me fall in love with its fragrance every time I wear it. It smells really expensive and classy but is actually relatively affordable! Elie Saab Le Parfum Lumiére is housed in a very elegant, bright gold glass bottle which sits beautiful on my dressing table. This a balanced, well rounded, feminine and elegant fragrance which exudes sophistication!
For Elie Saab perfumes I recommend LOOKFANTASTIC (20% off with code LFTFSOKI) if you’re in the UK and Europe. In the US, it’s harder to find, but they do have them at Walmart.
