Springtime scents

[totalimmoral]

My vote is for Lolita or Bewitched.

 

Lolita is a more yellow scent, all fun and sexy. I can really smell the heliotrope on me at it is by far, my #1 favorite BPAL scent!

 

Bewitched smells light and woodsy. Very green with a hint of berry.

I second Capriquariaus' Xiuhtecuhtli recommendation.

[pkwench]

Someone was mentioning light and green scents - I had Aeval on yesterday and I would say that it qualifies. It's more floral on some, but on me it was light, springy, and green.

[enantiomorph]

one word, five thousand squees.

 

dorian.

[joseybird]

Shanghai!! Sweet, aquatic green tea, lemon, and a touch of honeysuckle

[Digital_Hypoxia]

Emblaming FLuid or Dirty-just good, clean smells

[RainyDayGrey]

The springiest blends I've tried so far:

 

Alice- Light slightly sweet floral

 

Danube- fresh watery and lightly floral

 

Endymion- fresh clean white floral

 

Persephone- juicy sweet rose

 

The Unicorn- a little sweet, a little herby and a little floral, very clean fresh scent

 

Blood Countess- Juicy and fruity and just a little bit floral

 

Eos- Honeysuckle just screams spring and summer to me

 

New Orleans- see Eos

 

Embalming Fluid- fresh clean and citrusy

 

I don't like really heavy florals when the weather is warm, they are just to mutch. I like them better in small doses when they are cut with something else. Unless it's a good honeysuckle blend (I do love the honeysuckle). Usually any thing really clean smelling, watery or fruity are ideal warm weather blends to me.

Aglaea , Euphrosyne and Yerevan are good.

Also Mad Hatter is giving me an incredibly light, happy and bubbly feeling this spring.

And Kitsune-Tsuki is my ultimate happy Spring scent.

I highly recommend Arkham Revisited for spring. Empyreal Mist is a good one too, depending on how hot it is; it'll be great for summer.

[reina]

here are ones I wear when I want to feel freshly showered and extra clean:

 

Neo Tokyo

Envy

Oneiroi

Chiroptera

 

very fresh, flowers and herbs...

[joseybird]

Oh yes, and JULIET!! On me it's pear/light musk/honeysuckle

[ipb]

i think eos and dragon's eye are two of the springiest scents i have, along with a prototype that smells clean and melony and green. and my prototype of dublin, which is clean and piney and white rosey.

[gdogs]

aeval, crossroads and tenochtitlan! all three are very sweet green scents for me - herby and light, but carrying a delicious, fertile punch!

[wolfie13]

Okay - I'm probably restating the obvious here, but Beltane really is the

ultimate springtime scent - spring flowers, fresh cut grass, a touch of green herbs.

I WISH it smelled like that on me!! Instead I get something sharp and herby then...soap...

Among the others that have already been mentioned, I would also include Aizen-Myoo, The Hanging Gardens, & Mi-Go Brain Canister. Mi-Go is more fruity than The Hanging Gardens & leans a little more towards summer than spring.

[rainbow]

I'd add Arkham Revisited too. (Okay, probably not surprising, since it's right out of Springtime in Arkham, but I digress). The scent is very green, fresh, and has a touch of fruit that's not sweet at all. It's just perfect.

[RainyDayGrey]

Another vote for Beltane, it's the essense of spring in a bottle to me. Fae is a good spring time scent too, peach and light florals.

[ajcj213499]

I'm glad I found this thread!

 

I am about to place a large bottle order and was looking for a spring like scent, but one with some lasting power. I think my favorite spring scent to far is Amsterdam, which is really spring in a bottle, but it only lasts about a half hour on my skin.

 

Anyway, do any of you know of any long lasting (somewhat at least) spring esque oils?

 

Thanks!!

[olympia301]

 

Eos is good, too, and any of the violet scents, Marie being my favorite.

I was going to vote for Beltane and Fae, too. RainyDayGrey, you're like, a genius, man.

 

Fae lasts forever on me, too - it's got that nice base of white musk so it keeps going and going.

 

I agree that Eos is also a wonderful spring scent, I just ordered a bottle last weeek in preparation!

[lookingglass]

Rosalind and Zephyr for me...

[sarada]

This is around the time last year that I started to plan for spring...

 

Last year I was thinking lemony, citrusy and green tea scents but as it turns out they are so fleeting on me there's almost no point in wearing them.

 

I think Dublin will stay as a big spring scent for me though (as similar as it is to Skadi, it's a little more springy), and Unicorn...what's left of my Cheshire Cat...and Arkham Revistied and Mi-Go for sure. Short-lasting or not they make me think of last spring! And Spirits of the Dead seems to be a good tea scent.

 

I don't think I'll bother getting any bottles for spring though as I pretty much just wear my favorites all year. I think Snow White and Mistletoe will still be gorgeous fresh scents for the warmer months though!

[judas_kiss]

Dorian, Embalming Fluid, Morgause (for a sexy spring evening), Phantom Queen, Desdemona (although I personally do not like it) and I'm betting Maiden would be AWESOME (which is why I will probably be buying a bottle unsniffed for spring).

[oakmoss]

I'm going to stock up on faery scents for spring -- Dana O'Shee, Titania, Fae, a few others that smell like the scent that wafts through the open door between the worlds....
