Spring Spritz: 9 ‘Fresh Linen’ Style Scents For Crisp Spring Dressing

I've spent the past few months wrapped in the olfactory equivalent of a cashmere blanket – all warm ambers, deep vanillas and spicy woods that felt utterly right for hibernating through January and February. But now, as we edge towards spring, I'm craving something different. Something crisp, clean and refreshing. The fragrance equivalent of opening all the windows on the first proper sunny day.
