10 New Spring Fragrances That Deserve an Academy Award
With every season comes a batch of new, must-sniff fragrances and a batch of sparkling bottles to inspect. This spring, brands such as Chanel and Viktor & Rolf couldn’t decide on one scent, so they released multi-piece scents (so there’s something for everyone). Other fashion houses, including Dior, Miu Miu, and Gucci, are re-issuing newly packaged takes on their classic scents. Here, a guide to the 10 best new spring fragrances, just in time for the best awards show of the season.
