Spring has officially arrived in Nelson Mandela Bay, and if the change of season has you thinking about switching up your signature scent, we asked the experts at Woolworths Walmer Park to point us in the right direction.
For this week’s Woolies Wednesdays, we headed to the fragrance counters to find out which perfumes deserve a spot on your spring wishlist.
The result? Four very different scents, from bright and fruity to warm and sophisticated, proving there really is a spring fragrance for every mood.
Versace Dylan Purple Eau de Parfum
If spring had a colour, Dylan Purple might just be it.
Bright, fruity and fresh, this Versace fragrance opens with bitter orange, bergamot and juicy pear before moving into a floral heart of purple freesia. Cedarwood and musky notes give it a little more depth without taking away from that fresh, easy feel.
This is the pick for someone looking for something youthful and vibrant without smelling overly sweet.
The vibe: Fruity, fresh and playful
Best for: Daytime, brunch dates and those first properly warm spring weekends
Available sizes: 30ml, 50ml and 100ml at Woolworths.
Giorgio Armani Sì
There is a reason Sì continues to be one of those fragrances people come back to.
It’s a more sophisticated choice for spring, balancing femininity and warmth with the kind of scent that can take you from an ordinary workday straight into dinner.
If your perfume personality leans more polished than playful, this is the one we’d reach for.
The vibe: Elegant, feminine and grown-up
Best for: Work, dinner dates and an everyday signature fragrance
Estée Lauder Glimmer
One of the more interesting additions to the list is Estée Lauder’s Glimmer.
The fragrance is described by Estée Lauder as an amber floral with a gourmand twist, making it a lovely option if you enjoy something warmer and a little more delicious rather than the traditional light floral usually associated with spring.
It’s essentially for the person who wants their spring fragrance to still have a little cosy personality.
The vibe: Warm, luminous and sweet
Best for: Everyday wear and anyone who loves gourmand-leaning fragrances
Elie Saab Le Parfum
And then there is the classic.
Elie Saab Le Parfum is the pick for someone who wants their fragrance to feel a little more dressed up. Floral, warm and sophisticated, it’s an easy choice for spring events, weddings or simply those days when you want your perfume to announce your arrival before you do.
Woolworths currently lists Le Parfum in multiple sizes, with prices starting from around R1,505 online.
The vibe: Feminine, elegant and timeless
Best for: Special occasions, evenings and lovers of classic florals
So, which spring fragrance are you?
The Woolies Walmer Park picks cover four very different perfume personalities.
Dylan Purple is the fun one. Sì is the sophisticated one. Glimmer brings the sweetness, while Le Parfum is the timeless classic.
And perhaps that’s the best thing about choosing a new fragrance for spring. You don’t necessarily have to find a new signature scent. Sometimes you just need something that smells like the season you’re stepping into.
The fragrances are available from the beauty and fragrance department at Woolworths. Prices and availability may vary according to fragrance size and store.
