After a long winter, shoots and buds are beginning to emerge. Springtime means renewal, perfect for those of us looking for a fresh start. With the pandemic still in play, close proximity to others remains ill-advised. However, a new scent could be just what the doctor ordered for your own happiness, even if no one beyond your quarantine bubble gets to smell it. Natural fragrances have come a long way and now rival the most elite of traditional perfumes in both quality and cool factor.
I have compiled a list of 6 luxury natural fragrances perfect for evoking the spirit of spring. These fragrances were formulated using naturally-derived ingredients, so you can feel confident putting them on your skin. Chemicals in many traditional perfumes have been linked to hormone disruption, reproductive complications, and even cancer (to read more, click here). The fragrances on this list have been carefully vetted in accordance with clean beauty retailer Credo Beauty’s stringent standards (to learn more, click here).
Dirty Grass by Heretic Parfum
Spring isn’t just about flowers. One of my all-time favorites, Dirty Grass by Heretic Parfum is a sexy, fresh unisex scent that you’ll never get tired of wearing. It is also infused with CBD oil, so it’s perfect for helping you maintain your chill.
Dirty Grass by HERETIC PARFUM
To say that I am obsessed with this sexy unisex scent is an understatement. It is the type of herbaceous, floral yet sensual scent that you truly never get tired of. Infused with CBD oil and crafted using naturally derived fragrance.
Sci Fi by Ellis Brooklyn
Another one of my go-tos, I picked up my bottle of Sci Fi after attending a tour of the Ellis Brooklyn headquarters in Manhattan. The base fragrance is a vanilla that conveys warmth while maintaining a fresh sensibility perfect for spring. Fun fact: founder Bee Shapiro is a fellow “big law” alum and current NYT beauty columnist.
Sci Fi by Ellis Brooklyn
This far-out fragrance is made unique by its vanilla base which remains warm without being overly sweet or cloying. Vanilla is a natural aphrodisiac so do with that what you will 🙂
Mojave by Abbott NYC
Dream of adventure while wearing this upbeat, citrusy scent. Bergamot, tobacco leaf and black pepper keep things warm and spicy.
Mojave by Abbott NYC
This bright, citrus scent evokes the beauty of the Mojave desert.

If you are feeling generous, gift this oh-so-cool fragrance to your boyfriend/masculine-energy partner. Or, get it for yourself 🙂
Fragrance 05 Spring: Incense/Moss/Bergamot by DedCool
This masculine-leaning unisex scent is perfect for that special someone or as a treat for yourself.
Adritis Cassis by Maison Marie Louise
Pretend you are vacationing near the white cliffs of southwest France with this roll-on perfume oil. Provence may still be out of the question for now, but a girl can dream…
Antidris Cassis Perfume Oil by Maison Louis Marie
A deliciously fruity and floral roll-on perfume. Skin-safe and Credo Beauty-aproved.
Hanami by Phlur
Smell like a breath of fresh spring air in this clean, minimalist scent. Featuring notes of fig and sandalwood.
