Our Favorite Spring-Summer Fragrances
As the seasons shift, Megan and I love to refresh our fragrances to match the changing environment. Working closely with clients, we choose scents that are neutral, clean, and unobtrusive, ensuring they enhance rather than distract during styling sessions. Scent is deeply tied to memories and emotions, so we tread lightly to keep the focus on our work.
This year, our commitment to healthier products has influenced our fragrance choices. I’ve been gravitating toward custom blends of essential oils that adapt to my unique pH—because your scent should be as individual as you are. If you’re curious about natural fragrance options and the science behind what your nose knows, check out this insightful Credo Blog for a deep dive into the topic.
Below, we share our favorite mainstream scents for spring and summer. Some are unisex, others are ideal for client-facing days, but all are perfect for your seasonal adventures. Enjoy, and stay stylish!

Megan’s Picks
Van Cleef & Arpels Gardénia Pétale Eau de Parfum – $150.00
I adore the scent of gardenias but struggled to find a perfume that captures their pure, natural essence. This lush, feminine fragrance is the truest gardenia scent I’ve discovered, blending green notes, citrus, lily of the valley, jasmine, and gardenia for a soft yet vibrant finish.
Gucci Bloom – $83.00
Gucci’s Bloom strikes a perfect balance: slightly masculine yet crisp, clean, and refreshing. With white florals, galbanum leaf, cassis, musk, and sandalwood, it’s a versatile scent that feels both modern and timeless.
Kimberly’s Picks
MAISON MARGIELA Replica Flying Eau de Parfum – $180.00
This fresh, unisex fragrance is my go-to for a quick spritz during the day. Its bright neroli and bergamot top notes evoke a Negroni sipped along the Italian coast. Light and airy, it’s strong enough to last through a warm summer evening.
Aesop Tacit Eau de Parfum – $115.00
Clean, peppery, and subtly herbal, Aesop’s Tacit is a low-maintenance unisex scent perfect for the contemporary minimalist. With earthy citrus and basil top notes, it softens beautifully over time, though it has less staying power than heavier fragrances.
