The fragrance industry has experienced an uptick in unconventional scents as of late. While common categories like fresh, fruity, floral and woody, used to be the standby for determining your signature scent, there has been somewhat of a shift. Today consumers are looking toward creative spins on the classics that are mysterious, alluring and, in some cases, downright weird. Given that, it’s no wonder not-so-basic floral scents are having a major moment.
While these fragrances feature common flowers, like rose, magnolia, tuberose and jasmine, they each have a twist that puts them in a lane all their own. Where bouquets of colorful flowers once stood, dried arrangements with fragrant musky notes take center stage. Even classic rose perfumes are getting a bewitching makeover with hints of spice and sap scents. If you’ve steered clear of flower perfumes in the past, this new crop may change your mind. Ahead, six not-so-basic floral fragrances to add to your collection—just in time for spring.
