15 Best Floral Perfumes of 2024 That Last Longer Than a Bouquet, According to Editors
Key Notes: Banana blossom, jasmine, sandalwood, vetiver, and macadamia accord | Available Sizes: 1 ounce, 1.6 ounces, and 3.3 ounces
Byredo La Tulipe Eau de Parfum
Why It’s Worth It: Nothing says spring like a tulip in bloom, and accordingly, Byredo’s homage to the flower is all about the optimism sparked by new beginnings. The scent marries the tartness of rhubarb, strawberry-tinged freesia, and citrusy tulip with earthy woods and grassy vetiver for a scent that’s as refreshing as a berry pie in the park. It’s a tamer, more cheerful counterpart to wilder floral perfumes like Byredo’s Animalique and Rose Noir, but no less charming.
Key Notes: Rhubarb, cyclamen, freesia, tulip, blond woods, and vetiver | Available Sizes: 3.4 ounces
Jo Malone London Frangipani Flower Cologne
Why It’s Worth It: Jo Malone has more well-known floral scents among its all-star roster, but its newer Frangipani fragrance is another name to know if you want a blissful perfume that can take you through the end of summer Fridays. The elegant sun-like bottle gives away that this is a solar floral, opening up with a spritz of lemon like a cocktail, then drying down to a warm sandalwood and frangipani base that recalls tropical locales like Bali and Hawaii where the flower blooms.
Key Notes: Jasmine, frangipani, and sandalwood | Available Sizes: 0.33 ounces, 1 ounce, and 3.3. ounces
Maison Margiela Springtime in a Park Eau de Toilette
Why It’s Worth It: “Springtime in the park” might evoke the scent of hot dogs, actual canines, cannabis, and wet grass for you, but for Maison Margiela, it’s a more delicate affair. Its fragrance of the same name has more of a daydream-like quality that’s redolent of lily of the valley, blackcurrant, and pear. It smells like the setting of a Pierre-Auguste Renoir painting, with a brightness and freshness to it that’s made for anyone with a nose for fruitier scents.
Key Notes: Pear accord, lily of the valley accord, and musk | Available Sizes: 1 ounce, 3.4 ounces
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum
Why It’s Worth It: There’s nothing subtle about a perfume that calls itself Flowerbomb, which is like receiving a mega bouquet of roses, jasmine, and freesia with dessert on the side, courtesy of some intoxicating vanilla in the formula. Its headiness is not for the faint of heart, but Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb’s staying power is ideal for anyone looking for a powerful signature scent with main character energy.
