Fresh fragrances

The fresh family gathers luminous, invigorating fragrances: citrus, marine and aquatic notes, mint, aromatics, tea. These are clean, energising perfumes, perfect for everyday wear and the warmer months. Their usual weakness, short longevity, is often offset: many of the fresh perfumes in our selection are extraits de parfum, far more concentrated than an eau de toilette.

Styles of fresh perfume

Fresh aquatic and marine

Blue Fever by Aaron Terence Hughes brings together lemon, bergamot, apple and sea salt over a base of cedar and amber. SUSCEPTO by Spiritica opens on a sea breeze and ozonic notes.

Fresh citrus and aromatic

Haze Extreme pairs bergamot, lemon and mint with ambergris. Emerald Herb by House of Atropa blends lemonade, white tea, immortelle and incense. Mezcal My Love by Adi ale Van starts from grapefruit, peppermint and ginger.

Fresh floral

Sahara and Aswan by Widian pair citrus, light spices and flowers over a woody base.

Fresh perfume for men or for women?

A fresh perfume for men often relies on marine and aromatic notes, a fresh perfume for women on citrus and white flowers. The perfumes on this page are almost all unisex. For summer, go for aquatics and citrus scents; in winter, a woody or amber fresh perfume holds up better in the cold.

A fresh perfume that lasts

Freshness comes from the top notes, the most volatile ones. To make it last, choose a composition with a solid base (cedar, ambergris, musk) and a high concentration. Our article on longevity and sillage explains how to read these indications on each product page. See also our green perfumes.
