11 Honeysuckle Perfumes for Spring and Summer

Stocksy

When spring and summer roll around, we feel a natural urge to switch out our go-to fragrances. While there are always those rare few that work all year round (we're looking at you, Maison Margiela Replica Filter Blur), we'll temporarily set aside our heavy, spicy scents for their lighter counterparts. Think watery, citrusy, and floral scents as opposed to velvety florals and smoky ouds. In general, we want to stray from those warm après-ski vibes and move closer to something beachier. Because that's what summer is about, right? Long days spent on the beach, in the sun, doing the things that we love. We think that the perfect summer fragrance should reflect that, which is why honeysuckle is one of our favorite fragrance notes. The tiny white and yellow flowers are equal parts fresh and sweet and thus remind us of a hot Saturday in July. We're serious when we say that honeysuckle perfumes are the closest thing we have to bottled sunshine.

If crisp scents are your thing, then you'll love this honeysuckle fragrance from Derek Lam. One of the main notes is fresh apple, which makes it smell lightweight and sophisticated. We think of it as the high-fashion take on honeysuckle perfume. 

Byrdie Tip

Be sure to apply perfume to well-moisturized skin, as it can last for four to six hours (or even longer). On dry skin, it has a tendency to dissipate.

Estée Lauder Modern Muse Eau de Parfum

Usually, we don't associate honeysuckle perfume with being understated and woodsy, but this Estée Lauder perfume is just that. It mixes heart notes of honeysuckle and jasmine with scents of mandarin orange and patchouli for a unique take on an otherwise traditional perfume.

Clean Reserve's Sueded Oud is another perfume for people who don't like traditional floral fragrances. It's soft and woody and kind of creamy, too, thanks to incense oil, blue cypress, birchwood, honeysuckle, temple oud, Jasmine, and fir balsam, among other ingredients.

Demeter Honeysuckle Cologne

Demeter Honeysuckle Cologne $40.00
Shop

This budget-friendly pick is unique in that it doesn't have multiple layered notes. It smells of pure honeysuckle, so it can be worn alone or layered with separate fragrances to create a personalized scent. Plus, you'll definitely get bang for your buck. It has a high scent concentration, so it only requires a spritz or two on your way out the door. 

Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle Eau de Parfum Spray

We'll leave you with one of our all-time favorites: Aerin Mediterranean Honeysuckle, which includes the same sweet floral we know and love, along with sparkling grapefruit, Italian bergamot, mandarin oil, and lily of the valley. It's basically like a distilled, bottled-up version of a vacation along the Italian coast.

Gucci Bloom

This classic scent is super sophisticated, and designed to bloom, exactly as its name suggests. Expect notes of natural tuberose and jasmine alongside the powdery- floral edge of rangoon creeper, a plant that changes color when it blooms.

This clean, layerable scent offers notes of pear leaves, honeysuckle, and lily. The result is a floral and romantic fragrance that isn't too heavy. We especially love how it's hypoallergenic, safe for sensitive skin, cruelty-free, and vegan.
