It goes without saying that perfume is an important addition to your beauty regimen; it can say a lot about you as an individual and is an extension of who you are. Selecting the right fragrance to complement your inner beauty is an important (and unique) task. And although we die for a delicious blossom, stepping away from comfortable floral notes in favour of a non-floral perfume is a sure way to elevate your signature scent this spring.
Swap a floral for a zesty citrus or aquatic note and embrace a zingy new side of your personality. 2022 is the year to try something new and start fresh.
So if you’re thinking of shaking it up and changing your fragrance this spring, we’ve got you covered. Here are some of our favourite not-so-floral scents to try this spring…

Calvin Klein – CK One
Known for being one of the first unisex scents on the market, the cult-favourite CK One is light, long-lasting and one of the most affordable fragrances to try this spring.
Featuring a fruity blend, it mixes the likes of lemon, mandarin and fresh pineapple, which smells as deliciously tangy as it sounds. It also retails for less than $50 and a little goes a long way. If you’re not totally convinced to change things up, this is a great option to start with.

Aesop – Karst
As far as non-floral spring perfumes go, this one is an Aussie fave. The name Karst translates to ‘the shore’ and this beautiful little bottle contains some of our favourite notes, including juniper and sandalwood.
Striking a balance of unique yet familiar, this scent combines marine and woody notes, reminiscent of the rhythm in which the tide inhales and exhales the world.
If you’re looking for a subtle and sophisticated scent this spring, look no further. Karst is top of our list.
