Spring is in full swing and for a lot of ladies that means fruity and floral scents are back in action. But what are the men meant to be wearing? Their warm, dark and brooding fragrances are so fitting in winter, but how are they meant to lighten their masculine scents up in the warmer months? We’ve got you, gents (and ladies who love masculine fragrances!).

For starters: you don’t have to fear florals. They’re not as common in masculine scents but you can find them (and smell fab when you do). You’ll still have woody notes but just less of them, and less intense ones (you’re not going to be finding oud and patchouli in the same scent for spring. No, sir!). And obviously, the warmer months mean crisper, greener and fruitier notes which are, er, fruitful, in men’s fragrances.
Have a flick through the gallery below to find the best scents for men in spring…
