Meet the Spring Fragrance Trends You’ll Be Wearing (and Smelling) Everywhere

Being called fragile isn't usually a compliment, but being vulnerable isn't a weakness — it's an asset. Living softly or delicately has its benefits. And what's more delicate than a single flower holding a bottle of perfume on its back? The Hermès Hiris Eau de Toilette Spray ($183) was created in 1999 as an ode to femininity and uses just one floral note — iris — to evoke its highly emotional aroma. Ask an anthophile and they'll tell you just how secretly powerful the delicate purple flower can be. Yes, irises look fragile, but they're stronger than they seem. Behind that soft facade is a persistent and self-sufficient flower that quite literally handles itself with care.
