I'm not a believer in the phrase "signature scent." As a fragrance fanatic, I think you should wear whatever makes you happy at whatever time. That being said, I do like to switch out my fragrances for the season. With warmer weather on the way, I'm moving my winter perfumes to the back of the shelf to make room for lighter, fresher aromas. Before the season arrives, I'm on the hunt for a few new spring perfumes and candles—on sale, of course.
When I think of the smells of spring, my mind immediately jumps to floral fragrances—scents that envelop you in a garden of jasmine, rose, gardenia, white blossoms, and other classic notes. The season's scents can also be light, refreshing, and intimate, like the best citrus perfumes or musk fragrances. Even sweet gourmands have a place in the warmer months if they're well-balanced.
To add to your scent wardrobe (and mine), I combed through my favorite retailers in search of spring-forward fragrances in every category and my scrolling proved fruitful. Ahead, shop 17 on-sale perfumes and luxury candles from editor-approved brands like Jo Malone, Ellis Brooklyn, Dolce&Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, and more.
"Obsessed" is an understatement when it comes to this perfume. This is a fruity gourmand that's sweet, but not in a baked treat kind of way. Instead, it's a juicy, sugary blend of apple, peach, vanilla, and plum blossom that's wearable for any occasion and season. Save even more with one of our Anthropologie promo codes.
Jo Malone perfumes are the ultimate rich-girl fragrances, and now's your chance to snag one at a deal. This fresh scent is a particular favorite of Sofia Richie Grainge's. Save even more with one of our Target promo codes.
Maison Margiela perfumes are all meant to imitate memories and this set recalls the freshest of moments—think: sudsy bubble baths, fresh rain, and walks along the beach. Save even more with one of our Nordstrom promo codes.
If you're a fan of the cult-favorite Glossier You, then chances are you'll love this fragrance. Its single note, a synthetic called cetalox, is meant to blend with your unique scent to produce a different effect on everyone, resulting in a special minimalist fragrance. Save even more with one of our Dermstore promo codes.
Dolce&Gabbana perfumes are some of the best on the market and this set gives you a scent for every occasion.

Each one of these rollerballs contains a fragrance that's ideal for warm weather. Salt is a beachy floral scent, Sun Fruit (my personal favorite) is a tropical fruity fragrance, while Sweet is a fresh gourmand.

Vilhelm Parfumerie is one of my all-time favorite niche fragrance houses so I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this scent on sale. It's inspired by 1970s London so think of afternoon tea, cricket matches, and cigar lounges. It's equal parts aromatic, woody, and green, and will likely be one of the most unique fragrances in your collection. Save even more with one of our Ssense promo codes.
Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume is the quintessential spring fragrance. This is a stronger take on the cult-favorite original, with sparkling strawberry and pear to balance warm floral notes of jasmine and rosebuds.

As the name suggests, it's nearly impossible to feel sad while wearing this Clinique fan-favorite scent. It's all thanks to a blend of bright and refreshing notes like bergamot, grapefruit, and spring mimosa. You get more bang for your buck with this set, too, as it comes with a rollerball for on-the-go application and a lipgloss. Save even more with one of our QVC promo codes.

It's filled with jasmine, berries, bergamot, and rose—all notes to bring you out of your winter blues. Save even more with one of our Neiman Marcus promo codes.
How gorgeous is this perfume? If I didn't know any better, I would have thought this was a piece of home decor and not a fragrance. In reality, it is a scent that will have you wrapped in a bouquet of jasmine, roses, and geranium. Save even more with one of our Saks Fifth Avenue promo codes.
As stunning as this candle vessel is, you can and should light it up. It has a spring-forward fragrance of geranium, patchouli, and moss, plus a unique green-stem accord. Once the wax is burned through, you can save the vessel for a cool trinket dish. Save even more with one of our Net-a-Porter promo codes.
Don't get it confused—just because this is a snow-themed candle doesn't mean it's not warm weather-appropriate. As a sweet fragrance fan, I would light up this vanilla and cashmere candle at any time, especially when I'm in the mood to get cozy. Save even more with one of our Revolve promo codes.
I'm calling it now: Strawberry will be the next major note call-out in 2025 perfumes. Get ahead of the curve with this on-sale body mist, which doubles as a hair perfume.
