Hey pretty girl! Welcome back to the blog! As the seasons shift from the chilly grip of winter to the vibrant life of spring, it’s the perfect time to refresh not just our wardrobes but also our fragrance collections. Choosing the right scent can elevate our mood and complement the radiant atmosphere of blooming flowers and sunny days. Today, I want to share my top fragrance choice for this season, along with some insights into the refreshing world of spring and summer scents.
ROBYN'S Top Choice: Bergamote 22 by Le Labo
Notes: Orange blossom, grapefruit, petitgran, amber, bergamot, vetiver, cedar and musk
During the warmer months, my absolute favorite fragrance is Bergamote 22 by Le Labo. A stunning blend that encapsulates both freshness and warmth, Bergamote 22 is a masterful composition featuring bergamot, a citrus fruit celebrated for its uplifting qualities. The fragrance opens with a bright and zesty burst, followed by soft floral notes that blend seamlessly into a warm, woody base.
What I love most about Bergamote 22 is its versatility; it’s perfect for daytime wear and effortlessly transitions into evening for the perfect scent for a night out. The scent feels like a gentle breeze, evoking an uplifting sense of clarity—an ideal companion for spring explorations and summer evenings.
Aqua Universalis: A NEW SCENT I'M TRYING
I recently purchased Aqua Universalis, a fragrance that has been highly recommended, and I am eagerly awaiting its arrival this Friday. Known for its fresh and clean profile, Aqua Universalis captures the essence of a sunlit day. With notes of Sicilian lemon, white flowers, and a hint of musk, it promises to be a delightful addition to my fragrance repertoire. I can’t wait to explore how it harmonizes with the invigorating atmosphere of spring!
Top Notes: Italian bergamot oil, Bulgarian rose oil
Middle Notes: white flowers accord
Base Notes: white musk accord
Gathering Favorites from Friends
To enrich this aromatic journey, I reached out to some of my friends to discover their favorite spring and summer fragrances. Fragrance preferences can vary greatly, offering a wonderful opportunity to explore new scents and perspectives. I’m particularly interested in hearing about their beloved fragrances that evoke nostalgia or encapsulate their personal experiences.
Camalyn
Top notes include bergamot and neroli, middle notes of Tiare flower and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of coconut, vanilla, guaiac wood, and labdanum
Thoughts from Cam – I like Killian’s Sunkissed Goddess for the warmer months. It’s a lovely, soft, and exotic floral amber that smells like vacation in a bottle. Top notes include bergamot and neroli, middle notes of Tiare flower and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of coconut, vanilla, guaiac wood, and labdanum. One spray and you are transported far away. 🫶🏽
Portia
Thoughts from Portia – Chanel Chance Eau Tendré de Parfum, Miss Dior and MAC’s Turquatic are my absolute favorites for Spring & Summer. I enjoy the fruity floral with Chanel & Miss Dior and the light, citrus fresh scent that Turquatic gives. With any of these beauties, I consistently hear you smell Amazing!! 😉

A Scent for Every Occasion
As we embrace the beauty of the warmer months, consider adding a few more fragrances to your collection. Here are a couple of additional recommendations to keep you feeling fresh and fabulous:
1. Parfums de Marly’s Valaya is a captivating fragrance that embodies the essence of elegance and sophistication. At the top, refreshing notes of pear and red fruits awaken the senses, leading into a heart of delicate florals that evoke a sense of romance and grace. The base notes, characterized by warm sandalwood and creamy vanilla, provide depth and a lasting impression that lingers on the skin.
Valaya is designed for the modern woman who exudes confidence and allure, making it a perfect choice for any occasion. Encased in a beautifully crafted bottle that reflects the luxurious nature of the fragrance, Valaya is not just a scent; it’s a statement of individuality and refined taste. Embrace the spirit of elegance with Valaya, and let every moment be infused with its enchanting aroma.
2. Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede is a charming fragrance that encapsulates the essence of floral sophistication with a playful twist. This delightful scent opens with the fresh, juicy notes of red apples, inviting you into a lush bouquet of peonies at its heart. The sheer, romantic florals offer a lush, feminine aroma that dances on the skin. As the fragrance unfolds, it is beautifully grounded by hints of soft suede, introducing a touch of sensuality and warmth. The exquisite balance of the airy petals and the luxurious suede creates an inviting and elegant scent that is both refined and approachable.
Peony & Blush Suede is perfect for the modern woman who embodies grace and confidence, making it suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions. Encased in Jo Malone’s iconic packaging, this fragrance is a lovely addition to any fragrance collection, inviting you to embrace the art of understated luxury and timeless femininity with every spritz.
As we transition into the delightful seasons of spring and summer, let us not forget the power of scent and the joy it brings to our daily lives.

I’m excited to try Bergamot 22. I love bergamot even in my tea! Magnolia blossoms are also a fave so Creed Love in White is also a must.
