Locally, May is synonymous with flowers and beauty. It's a blooming season that reminds us of new beginnings, and its scents awaken our senses. With that, here’s a list of perfumes for that instant fritz of flower freshness and sweetness.
Issey Miyake Solar Violet
Made with sunny notes of juicy pear and natural violet leaves from Egypt, its smell could remind someone of spring's full breeze—green, earthy, but sweet as candy. It has an elegant texture with silky base notes of iris.
For the environmentally conscious, this one could be a top choice. Aside from its elegant, floral scent, the cap's patented design is made of wood, while the bottle is made with 20 percent post-consumer recycled glass.
