We've got peonies and roses, and we'd be remiss to not include violet.
Though violet probably won't be departing the world of fragrance any time soon — if ever — we're seeing this delicate floral elevated with fresh, sparkling notes. Take Kate Spade Live Colorfully Sunshine ($95), which infuses sumptuous violet with juicy pear and sweet jasmine. It's a truly dazzling scent that has a bubbly Champagne, "heading to the pool, no cares in the world" vibe to it.
Guess 1981 Eau de Toilette ($62) — named after the year the company was founded and inspired by the sexy LA lifestyle — puts violet on a pedestal. The powdery floral is invigorated with mandarin, bergamot, magnolia, and neroli, and is wrapped in honey-doused musk.
