Somewhat Sweet, Somewhat Sunny: Yellow Floral Fragrances for Spring

Yellow floral perfumes feature sweet, sunny notes such as ylang-ylang, mimosa, daffodil, and osmanthus, often creating a rich scent profile. These fragrances, which can be both fresh and warm, are resonant of spring and summer, ranging from creamy to honey-like and, at times, fruity.

In contrast, white florals such as jasmine, tuberose, and gardenia are typically headier, richer, and more intense, ranging from clean and soapy to deep, narcotic, and indolic. While some fragrances have a mix of both, one is always more prominent than the other.

Without further ado, here are some exceptional fragrances with yellow florals in their dominant notes.

1. Versace Yellow Diamond EDT

Yellow Diamond is part of Versace’s fragrance line, inspired by crystals that started with Crystal Noir. The dominant scents in Yellow Diamond are the citrus and yellow florals. This bright fragrance is ideal for daytime activities, and now that spring is knocking on our doors, I highly recommend it for the season of picnics and outdoor fun.

2. CH Good Girl Blush Elixir EDP

A more romantic take on yellow florals, Good Girl Blush Elixir by Carolina Herrera is fresh yet woody with a dominant vanilla note, and who doesn’t love vanilla?! While the yellow flower (ylang ylang) is dominant here, the overall scent is slightly warmer due to the patchouli, vanilla, and rose notes. This elixir wears well all year round, but I would avoid it during hot summer days. But if you have some romantic evenings planned this spring, this would be the perfect scent for that.

3. Armani Acqua Di Giò Profondo Parfum

While the mimosa found in Acqua Di Gio Profondo Parfum isn’t the most prominent note in the fragrance, and is overpowered by marine and citrus notes, it adds a touch of sweetness to the scent that really changes the entire fragrance profile.

4. Juliette Has A Gun Lust For Sun EDP

A fun and bright scent. Lust For Sun by Juliette Has A Gun is like diving headfirst into a bouquet of yellow (and white) flowers. This uplifting fragrance just smells like happiness to me; I can’t find better words to describe it. It’s tropical, sweet and creamy. The dry-down is clean and slightly metallic, thanks to the ambroxan note at the base. An incredible scent overall.

5. Diptyque L’Eau Papier EDT

Probably the most popular Diptyque scent is l’Eau Papier. This scent starts off musky and powdery, but underneath that, you can clearly detect the yellow floral aroma. This is a fragrance I would describe as a skin scent, as it sits close to the skin and is very musky in nature. If you’re looking for a nicer clean scent, this is a good option to look into.
