I live in the U.S., in Texas. My favorite spring flower is the flower of the tulip tree. It is the first indicator of spring, the first of a whole host of flowering trees in Texas. When we see the tulip tree in bloom we know that spring is coming.
My favorite spring flower is the lilac, my favorite spring perfume is the new one from Kerosene–Pretty Machine which I can’t wait to buy as soon as it’s in stock, and I live in the US
HI,
I live inthe USA.
I am loving En Passant, even compared the white lilacs at the store to it. I also love that my parma violets are blooming.
I live in the US. And my favorite spring flower are peonies!
I live in the US. It’s hard to settle on one favorite spring flower (love all of them, plus their fragrances), but I’ll settle for lily of the valley.
I live in the USA (Alabama), love the smell of jasmine around here, and am (to my chagrin) loving Le Labo’s orange blossom today… yikes!
I live in Albany, NY! My favorite spring fragrance (right now) is Marni; it’s very yummy, but doesn’t last long on me! have a great day!
I live in the US in the Pacific NW. Loving my NW tulips in my backyard–a fave spring flower .
Really enjoying Amouage Honour this spring as far as scents go….this lovely floral is a real departure from Amouge’s heavier offerings, yet it is not too light for our chilly rainy weather. Not quite time to pull out the citrus aquatics yet.
Yes, indeed I do live in the US. My favorite spring fragrance is jayne ormonde frangipani and I have been dying to post that Noontide Petals has cured me of my “problem” with Frankincense.
I live in the US, in Seattle, Washington. My favorite spring flower is the hyacinth, and my favorite spring fragrance is anything with linden blossom, including Andy Tauer’s Zeta and DSH Ma Plus Belle Histoire d’Amour.
Hi! I have been to this site many times but this is my first post. I live in the US, NYC to be exact. My favorite spring perfume (today anyway) is Andy Tauer’s Zeta. So fresh with Linden Blossom! Love it. Close second is Tocca’s Cleopatra.
I live in the US, and my favorite (scented) spring flower is also the hyacinth [Also among my favorite perfume notes]. My favorite spring perfume would be impossible to choose from, but I suppose if push comes to shove, it would be Apres l’Ondee, which as far as I know, contains No hyacinth….
I live in the US and am loving Bulgari Eau Perfumee Au The Rouge for spring, so far. And I’m looking forward to seeing the hyacinths bloom. Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US and my favorite spring perfume is Annick Goutal Chevrefeuille. I do think of honeysuckle as more of a summer flower, but I lore to wear this one in the spring. Rose Ikebana would be a close second!
I live in the US!
My favorite Spring flower is the Lilac. My favorite Spring perfume is En Passant and Peau de Peche.
I live in the US, and my favorite spring perfume is Aftelier’s Honey Blossom! 🙂
I live in the U.S. and my favorite spring fragrance is SL Bois de Violette and my spring favorite flowers are violets.
I live in the US, and my favorite springtime fragrance is By Kilian Sweet Redemption. Linden and orange blossom are always spring/summer in a bottle. I keep hoping Serge Lutens or Kilian or Malle or L’Artisan would make a new linden perfume.
What a wonderful draw this is. I do live in the US and my favourite spring fragrance is L’Artisan’s Voleur de Roses. Can yout ellhow much I love roses. In this case spring comes to mind because nw beginning s and the rain scent in Voleur de Roses goes hand in hand, I think.
I live in the US. My favorite spring flowers are iris — I just love the look of them, so lush and ruffly.
I live in the US, and my favorite spring fragrance is Silences by Jacomo. It reminds me of April showers and new buds appearing on the trees! I love the bracing green galbanum, vibrant rose-floral accord, and the cool iris.
Thanks for the draw!
I live in USA and my favorite spring fragrance is Lolita Lempicka. Wore it for the first time in a while yesterday and was reminded how much I love it.
I live in the USA! One of my favorite spring flowers are stars of bethlehem. They’re considered weeds where I live, but I like them because they are some of the first to pop up when the weather starts to turn 🙂
I live in the US, my favorite spring flower is the daffodil!
I live in the USA and my favorite spring fragrance is Prada Infusion D’Iris. So fresh! So lovely! I can wear it year round, actually 🙂
You definitely have permission to contact me and I wrote that in my biographical info on my profile…
In the USA and these days I’m all about the cherry blossom. Insolence has an intense violet that makes me think of warmer spring days, but I put it away the rest of the year.
I live in NY. My favorite spring flower is Lily of the Valley. My grandmother’s favorite.
I live in the U.S. My favorite spring flower has to be iris, and spring fragrance(s) usually soliflores like Tilleul or something mimosa-y. Cheers!
Hi! I live in the US and love peonies, although they tend to bloom in late spring where I am. As for spring perfumes, I get excited to bring out Fresh’s Citron de Vigne on the nice days. For chilly, rainy spring days, I like something with a light dose of myrrh or amber in it, to warm me up!
I live in the US–thanks for the giveaway. My favorite spring flower is probably the daffodil, and my favorite spring fragrance is Miller Harris’s Geranium Bourbon.
I live in the US- Pacific NW and spring is my favorite season. I love all the spring flowers but my favorite today is white lilac, it has just burst in to bloom and the lovely ethereal scent blends with the scent of rain that is threatening though the skies are blue w/ white clouds.
I live in the US, Louisiana, where spring passes us by and we go straight to summer. My favorite spring flower is daffodil, and my favorite spring fragrance is Petite Cherie.
Hello, I live in the U.S. – since I live in the middle of Hells Kitchen I reach for A La Nuit more than any other fragrance, to take the edge off the concrete. Although I have been using Houbigant’s orangers en fleurs more and more.
I live in the US. My favorite spring fragrance (this spring, anyway) is TDC de Bachmakov.
Hi. I live in the U.S. My favorite spring flower is hyacinth. I would love to find a hyacinth fragrance, but haven’t yet. My favorite fragrances this spring are La Chasse aux Papillions and 31 Rue Cambon.
Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US, in Wyoming. I always love it when the lilacs bloom in May. I am wearing three perfumes right now that are “springy” to me: Annick Goutal Eau de Camille, L’Artisan La Chasse aux Papillions, and Tokyo Milk Crushed.
Wow! What a cool draw! I live in the U.S., and my favorite spring flowers are FRENCH TULIPS! Love them. 🙂 Thanks, Robin!
I live in New York City. I have been wearing my coveted full vintage bottle of Moustache by Rochas. I love the dirty sweatiness of the civet and the light hand of the citrus, dusted over with women’s dusting powder. Parfait. My guilty pleasure this week has been dousing my sheets each morning with Cabochard by Gres. It just envelops the bedroom. Leather everywhere. I sometimes wonder if I am in love with Caleche more, or my Cabochard. Both are so very well done. I will say the vintage formulations of both put the reformulations to shame. But, still nice. Adieu.
I live in the U.S. (Texas), and of course you can use my email address. I second Priscilla’s mention of the tulip tree. They bloom before their leaves come in, so you have big pink magnolia-like flowers on otherwise bare branches., which looks really cool. I also like when the bluebonnets start blooming, as they are one of the first wildflowers to show up in the spring around here.
As for spring perfumes, I am liking Tauer’s Zeta, just wish the lasting power was a little better, which is kind of unusual for Tauer. I’ve been wanting to try Noontide Petals and the new Lush scents. I was at Lush the other day, and the SA told me that here in Houston the stores are getting testers of the new scents in May, but they won’t be actually selling them there.
I couldn’t make up my mind which sample I wanted to wear today, so I’m wearing Mohur on one arm and Afternoon of a Faun on the other. I really like both, and incidentally they’re kind of nice together too.
I live in the US. I’m not sure I have a single favorite spring fragrance, but one thing I reach for in the spring, but hardly any other time of year, is Paco Rabanne’s Ténéré.
I live in the US. When it gets to be spring, I want to sing Tom Lehrer’s famous spring song, the one about Poisoning Pigeons in the Park.
I live in the US and my favorite spring perfume is Chamade.
My favorite spring flower is the Wild Purple Iris I’ve planted all around my house. It’s so lovely, and it always makes me smile.
I live in the US and you may contact me via my account.
Thanks again for the great draw !
I live in the US. My favorite spring fragrance is Cristalle by Chanel (the edp). I also love Eucalyptus by The Thymes Company. Both are so fresh and lovely…
I live in the US (in VA) and my favorite Spring flower is lilac. And this will be the first year of my life that my mother is not here to smell the lilacs. 🙁
I live in the US! My favorite spring flower is all of them…so I’ll go with my favorite spring fragrance, which is Diorissimo. Thanks for another generous giveaway. 🙂
I live in the US and my favorite Spring flowers are lilacs. I’d have to say I enjoy wearing Chanel No. 19 EDT in this weather. Thank you for the lovely giveaway!
Thank you for this generous draw! I live in the US, and you have permission to use my email. My favorite springtime fragrance used to be vintage Diorella, but I am a recent L’Air du Desert Marocain convert…oh, my…I’ve never smelled something so delectable! So, despite my general feeling of apprehension (to put it very politely) towards the time of oppressive heat, I am pretty excited to sport this gorgeous fragrance!
I live in the US and my favorite spring flowers are hyacinths and cherry blossoms.
I live in the US, and although they don’t grow here, I think my favorite spring flowers are lilacs (although peonies would give them a run for my money). Thanks for the drawing!
Thank you for the chance to win fun things! I live in the proud-of-Boston-first-responders US of A. My favorite spring fragrance and flower are lilacs. I have a few different varieties planted that are different colors, heights, and blooming times. Also in my collection are many lilac scented goodies, from toilet waters to lotion to soap, also home fragrances for April and May only. Yves Rocher and Pacifica make lovely body lilacs. You may use my email address, and if I’m not out encouraging my lilac twigs to burst forth, I will be sure to check it!
I live in the US and my favorite spring flower is hyacinth.
I live in the US. I really loved crocuses when I was a kid because they were small and I was small. Other flowers seemed to be made for adults, but crocuses were just right for a child’s appreciation.
I live in the U.S. and LOVE honeysuckle fragrances!!
I live in the US and have a strange out of nowhere lemming for Carnal Flower and LL’s Poivre. I have to have them!! Maybe I will win. I have never won one of these things. Thanks for the chance.
I live in Massachusetts and the magnolia trees are blossoming right now so that’s my favorite flower and the saddest flower for me at the moment. I want all of Boston to be wrapped up in a soft, sweet, healing magnolia blossom.
I live in the US, and yes, you can use my contact info. My favorite spring flower is muscari, we had three colors of them that would just randomly pop up in the front yard of the house where we grew up and it just always made me happy to seem them. I used to make believe that the garden faries used them for mittens and slippers when they went rabbit riding (I was a wierd kid for the time and area.) Scent of the day is Little Miss Panda Gets Lei’d because I needed a pickup (dealing with awful enough bank stuff that starting the first I will simply be dealing with a new bank) and I remember really liking that one when it premiered and I bought the sample pack…but now there’s something in the background to it that really bothers me. 🙁 This week can end any moment now. I’ll wait.
I would love to win this because I am a total Lush fan and have really wanted to smell the new ones but they’re not in the store. I do live in the United States and you may use my contact info. My favorite spring perfume is Carnal Flower, this is really the only season when it feels appropriate, but it’s so glorious!
I live in the US and my favorite Spring flowers are tulips. My favorite Spring note is Iris and my go to Spring fragrance is either Bond No 9 Bryant Park and Madison Square Park. I hope I win because I love Lush fragrances! 🙂
Thanks for this chance (love Lush & Tauer!). I live in the US, and you may use my contact info if I’m the lucky one. Come spring, I love vintage Coty Paris or Imprévu, and my favorite spring flower is the pink-and-white saucer magnolia, which is just blossoming here in South Jersey.
I live in the US and you may use my email address in my profile. Whenever spring rolls around, I pull out my vintage Diorissimo and Chamade. I’m really curious about the Lush!
Wow, great giveaway! I do live in the US and you may use my contact info. This spring I have been loving the tulips in Seattle. Usually I get excited for the lilacs to bloom but haven’t been around any yet.
I live in the U.S. and my favorite Spring flowers are parrot tulips and ranunculus. I think Chanel No. 19 is lovely this time of year.
Thanks for the chance to win; I’ve been looking forward to smelling the new line of scents from Lush. Happy Spring!
I live in the U.S. – my favorite Spring flowers are the crocus and daffodils – my grandmother grew them and they always remind me of her.
I live in the US. My favorite spring flower was lilac when I lived in the Pacific NW; it’s gardenia now that I’m in the South. Favorite spring perfume is the lovely Le Temps d’une Fete!
I live in the US. It’s cold today (and will be even colder tomorrow) but my daffodils and hyacinths have finally bloomed! I’ve been wearing Le Temps d’une Fete. 🙂
I’m in the US (NY). My favorite spring flowers are the first ones to come up – the bilbs, usually crocuses. I love Lush and hope I get a chance to try this! Thanks!
Thanks for the draw Robin! I live in the USA (I’m a Jersey Girl, minus the big hair). I love most Spring flowers, hyacinth, lilacs, tulips, iris, but the fave is lily of the valley. Reminds me on my mother who had an entire bank of them along one side of my family home. Long gone–both the family home and my wonderful Mom–but never to be forgotten.
My favorite spring fragrance is Calyx. I love the hit of green it gives you when everything outside is just starting to bud. i live in the US and also love Lush products. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite spring fragrance is Zeta and my favorite flower is the peony although by the time they bloom here in the frigid Northeast it’s almost summer! Yes, I live in the US – thank you for the draw, Robin!
I live in the U.S. in New York. My three favorite spring time scents are vetiver tonka, philosykos and tea for two
Hi,
I live in the U.S. My favorite spring flower is definitely the hyacinth. Love them! But there’s also something magical about the first crocus that appears, and once the forsythia show up, it’s clearly time to gear up for summer.
As far as a favorite spring fragrance, I love Trefle Pur. But I recently got in the swapmeet samples of Balenciaga Paris and Balenciaga L’Essence, and I’m really enjoying both of them for spring as well. (Thanks, Hajusuuri!)
I live in the US. My favorite spring flower is narcissus and my favorite spring perfume is vintage L’Air du Temps.
I live in the U.S.A. and you have permission

Today I am wearing ‘for him narciso rodriguez.’
Hi Robin! Thanks for the draw, I live in the U.S.A. Fave spring flower: lilac, easily, hands down. There is a lilac bush on the side of my house and I love leaving the windows slightly ajar in the evening to catch the scent.
I live in the U. S. and my favorite spring flowers are lilacs for their smell and pansies for their cute faces. Enjoying my Silences, Chamade, and Ineke’s After My Own Heart.
I live in the US.
What I like about spring is I can switch between cooler-weather and warmer-weather scents, depending on the crazy weather! Lots of diversity to choose between!

I live in the U.S. My favorite spring scent is CB I Hate Perfume M#2, and my favorite spring flowers are daffodils.
I live in the US and I love spring lilacs and apple blossoms. We don’t get either of these wher I live now, but growing up I loved the crabapple lined streets full of pink or white flowers in the spring! And the scent was divine! Thanks for the draw.
I live in the US and my favorite spring flower is definitely the violet, as they are usually the first flowers out (and are beautiful and smell divine, of course) in our corner of the Midwest. In fact, when the weather’s warm, they’ve been known to jump the gun in November.
I live in the U.S. My favorite spring flower is the tulip and its many cheerful colors.
I live in the US. My favorite spring flower are poppies. Here in California, we have fields of them blooming in spring =)

I live in South Eastern Virginia. This spring I have been craving Habanita so that is what I have been wearing! I love the blossoms of crabapple trees, so beautiful and fragrant. I see I am in good company in my admiration of this lovely tree.

Hi, I live in CA! Please include me in the draw.
My favorite springflower here is the cactus flower – sometime around Easter, after the first drops of rain everything bursts into life.
I live in the U.S. and am wearing La Chasse aux Papillons this minute. How about a poem for Spring?
THAT DAY, HARRIET
Perhaps you thought I’d marry your black-haired boy,
the wild one, and wished to tell me–
We walked that day
through the woods near Becky’s farm, I to look
for thumb-sized warblers that flirt in those mountains in May,
you content to go along. What what it that you meant to say?
The red trillium looked like a broken heart, and all
the tiny pawprints of white violets led back to your girlhood.
You said, “Violets had fragrance then–or do I imagine it?
Sometimes just breathing them wouldn’t be enough.
I’d eat a whole bouquet on my way home.”
It took some time
for the fine-toothed rain to reach us through the boughs.
A Black-throated Blue on a low branch sang, filling the air
with his smoky buzz, filling me with the wild blue wish:
My black-haired boy–
I live in the US, in Massachusetts. One of my favorite spring flowers is lilac. Every year at the Arnold Arboretum there is a festival when the lilacs start blooming, around Mother’s Day. Such a joy!
I live in the US, and my favorite spring flower is the humble crocus, because seeing it means winter is finally and truly heading out of town. We have some loooong winters in MA!
I live in the US and I love wearing Violetta di Parma in the spring. It reminds me everything will be blooming again soon!
I live in the US. My favorite spring flower is the azalea. There is an amazing, bright fucshia, azalea bush where I work that is huge! A beautiful harbinger of spring.
I live in the US–the snowy wilds of Wyoming, to be precise–and I’d pick the crocus or the cherry blossom as my favorite spring flower. It’s hard to think of my favorite spring scent yet; I’ll figure it out when it finally gets here! 🙂
I live in Alabama and my favorite spring flowers are Daffodils and the pink fluffy flowering trees that rain petals all over the place.We’ve got a momma robin that built her nest on a support beam at the corner of our back deck (up high -deck is off the upstairs kitchen door and over the downstairs livingroom back door.)Babies have hatched ,but momma robin doesn’t like observers!Which is funny because a robin built a nest and raised her chicks in the gazebo which is much further away from the house.Silly bird.My favorite scent for spring is whatever I want at the moment (as usual). My email is correct if I need to be contacted with it.Thanks!
I live in the US, in Pennsylvania. I’m patiently waiting for my viburnum to bloom. When it does, my entire yard is filled with fragrance. I only wish it would stay in bloom for a longer period of time, but maybe that is what makes it so special!
I love daffodils. They’re such a happy flower. This spring I’m wearing VC&A Gardenia Petale and Chantecaille Frangipane. I live in the US.
I live in the US. My favorite spring flowers are bluebonnets these days. Hooray, Texas!
I live in the US. I grew up in the Deep South, and there camellias and winter honeysuckle bloom in the winter. They’re my favorites because they remind me that winter will not last forever and spring will come (and the honeysuckle smells wonderful!).
I live in the US. Spring is 80 degrees here so I’m already wearing EL Sensuous Nude and Fragonard Baroque.
I live in the US. My favorite spring perfume is No. 5 because I associate it with the smell of jasmine after it rains, which is happening a lot, given that it’s April. My favorite flower is the orange jessamine, somehow similar to jasmine but the kind of scent you recognize for what it is immediately, it’s lovely.
My favorite spring flower is the daffodil, although today they are looking quite forlorn in the sleet/snow we received…
I live in the US. Thanks for the draw, Robin!
I live in the US, and I just started wearing my favorite spring fragrance: Le Chèvrefeuille by Annick Goutal. (Which I can never spell correctly, so I had to go find some text to copy and paste!)
Thanks for the draw. I live in the US. My favorite spring fragrance has been Carner Barcelona D600. It just always feels right. I also love seeing the tulips come into bloom. I have a bouquet on my table and I keep admiring them.
I live in the U.S. One of my favorite spring perfumes is Andy Tauer Zeta.
My favorite spring flower is the hyachinth and I live in the US
I love Vera Wang’s Lovestruck! And I do live in the US
I can provide a US address and my favourite Spring perfume is probably Chamade, because I don’t wear it at any other time:o
I live in the US and my favorite spring flower is jasmine: mine is just about to bloom like crazy 🙂
Oo oo! I live in the U.S. And my favorite spring perfume this spring is probably Idole de Lubin. I’m a little off season. 🙂 but also loving Boadicea the Victorious’ Divine! Great for shaking the winter dust off and sitting in the sun.
