So the spring season has arrived & I think its time for not just my makeup colors to go from dark to light -- but my perfume as well.

I am looking for some recommendations for my new spring perfume staple. I'd like something fruity - flowery to go with the spring season. Nothing too heavy or musky. Any recommendations fellow specktraettes?

Even if you don't have a rec, let me know if:
Am I the only one that changes perfume w/ the season like my clothes & makeup? If you do too, what do you go from & what do go TO for spring?

DKNY - Be Delicious (the green one)
Burberry Brit Sheer. I love this one. It's not overpowering and has a good staying power.

i change make-up, perfume and nail polish lol.
for fall and winter, i go for vanilla type scents. warm, heavy scents.
for summer, i always wear escada <33 and sometimes body splashes from bath and body works.

and for spring (which is what you asked about), i go for clean scents or sometimes florals.
I like VS Body, Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea, stuff like that. but it is still cold where i live and i'm still wearing my wintery scents.

Wow, that sounds cool. I've never heard of that one.

I'm making a list of new scents to try on my trip to Austin next weekend. Thanks girl!

How about Chanel Chance? I've always steared clear of Chanel thinking "it's my mom's fragrance" N5 to be exact. However, when the MA sprayed Chance on me, I was pleasantly surprised. It smells kind of like a light grapefruit mix with some flowers. Sorry I'm bad at describing this but it was really nice! She sprayed it on my arm at 2pm and by midnight, it was still smelling so good.

Fair warning, I am really in to "indie" perfumes and bath goodies, mostly because they're cheaper, more unique, and often of better quality.

"Fruity" isn't really my thing, nor are strong florals, but I have found a few that I quite like, mostly because they're deepened by another scent or they're rather light.

First of all, I buy a decent number of sample vials from this eBay seller (who also sells great bath stuff) because they're only $4.75 for three and they keep me going without breaking the bank -- Three 1ml Scent Sample Glass Vials U~PlCK 3 scents - eBay (item 350278222644 end time Apr-11-10 05:42:54 PDT) . I recently bought a scent from her called Caterina de Medici that I quite like; it's a soft, feminine floral that's very unique from most florals I've smelt. She has a HUGE list of available fragrances, many of which are dead-on dupes for popular scents, so you might want to check that out!

Also, from Haus of Gloi, the Peach Mama scent smells like a REAL peach, not that fakey peach smell, and is deepened by frankincense. I am madly in love with Moondog, which smells like coconut with a base of sandalwood that's warm but still summery. Their Etsy store is here -- Haus of Gloi Fine Olfactory Cuisine & Vegan by gloilocksandbody .

I also smelt the Black Raspberry Vanilla or whatever it is from B&BW recently, and while I thought it was just "okay," everybody else in my group loved it.

Gucci Floral is nice!

I would recommend Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche. Try it and let me know what you think!

DKNY Be Delicious and also the one in the pink bottle (can't remember the name) is good too.

I personally go for Lancome Hypnose and Donna Karan Cashmere Mist. I'd also suggest Emporio Armani if you're looking for something a bit warmer.
If you're looking for floral, I'd suggest Juicy by Juicy Couture. It straight up smells like roses. GL!

I've never smelled that one. I actually have Coco Chanel, but thats my usual fall back for autumn fragrance.

Chanel Chance - on my "to smell" list

I've got the DKNY Be Delicious Kisses, which is the one i've been using currently as my spring scent- but i've had it about two years now & its down to the last 1/4 of the bottle which is why I wanted to get something different.

Maybe i'll check out that pink bottle one, thanks
