Mint, tea and rhubarb aromas are going to be popular when shopping for new scents this spring

With the freezing temperatures outside, it’s hard to imagine a time when someone would want to feel cooler than they are. Minty fragrances actually trigger cold receptors in the brain and can help keep you cool in humid temperatures. Jo Malone ‘White Jasmine and Mint’ Cologne is available at Nordstrom and is a great option for spring. Try using Eucalyptus Mint from Bath and Body Works for an after-the-gym refresher if you are on a budget.

Tea aromas will also be popular this spring and summer. They offer a delicate and dainty, feminine smell. Bvlgari Eau Parfumee White Tea is available at Sephora for $65, and can be worn by both men and women. It offers a delicate white tea scent with white pepper extracts. Elizabeth Arden offers a Green Tea Parfum Spray that is $39.50 online, as well as body creams, lotions, shower gels and deodorant.

Rhubarb brings fresh, green and berry notes to scents. It easily blends with floral aromas to create a sharpness popular in most perfumes. Tocca ‘Brigitte’ Eau de Parfum offers a playful, sensual scent and is available at Nordstrom for $68. Molton Brown offers a Rhubarb and Rose Bath and Shower gel online for $30 at Barneys New York, which could easily be layered underneath a perfume already containing the rhubarb scent.
