Transitioning From Winter to Spring

“Keep the winter fragrances burning, and slowly start to introduce subtle floral scents like Lilac Blossom. By the time May rolls around, your home will smell as if it is in full bloom!” That’s what Harry Slatkin says in a recent press release about moving from winter fragrances to spring fragrances. He also recommends layering. “For a truly unique scent, consider layering two fragrances. The trick is to blend notes that complement each other. Jasmine, vanilla, rose and citrus work well with most scents, so have fun with it, and you’ll end up with something that’s truly unique and memorable.” I love layering fragrances. One of my favorite scents that signifies the end of winter is my Tea with Vita which layers spearmint, clove and neroli (orange blossom.) What fragrances signify spring to you? Tell us…and share your springtime creativity.
