Check out this guide to the best spring fragrances for men, curated by Style Girlfriend…
I love the rituals of welcoming spring. Cracking the windows in your home to let in fresh air. Swapping your heavy winter coat for a lighter number. Wearing sunglasses because there’s actually sun to block out, not just because you loathe accidental eye contact with strangers.
And, of course, my favorite rite of spring…buying a l’il something new to celebrate the changing season.

Whether the season’s arrival greets you with actual changes in the weather report, or simply a reminder popping up on your phone of the vernal equinox, you can still get into the spirit of spring with one simple swap – your scent.

While this brand technically is technically a “celebrity fragrance” line, the scent’s street cred goes way beyond its movie star bona fides.
Michelle Pfeiffer launched Henry Rose to provide a safe, non-toxic option in an industry notoriously not-so-transparent with its ingredients.
The collection of fragrances was even the first to get a seal of approval from the Environmental Working Group, a non-profit dedicated to helping consumers avoid toxic chemicals in the environment, and be Cradle to Cradle-certified. So you know they’re legit.
All of which wouldn’t matter, of course, if they didn’t smell great, too.
Thankfully, they do. When it comes to the best spring fragrances for men, Windows Down tops our list in 2025.

You might have heard about Glossier from your girlfriend, or seen one of their massive billboards in millennial pink pop up in your city.
While the skincare and makeup company mostly caters to the ladies, their debut scent, called, appropriately, You, smells inexplicably good on everyone I’ve met who’s tried it—including guys.
This is because, according to the perfumers, You is heavy on base notes (including musk and ambrox) with the wearer being the “final ingredient”in making the scent what it is.
Meaning? You and your significant other could share a bottle and no one would ever know you’re wearing the same scent.
