It's April and 2026 is shaping up to be a great year for perfume. From the return of classics to the newest fruity and citrus scents, it seems like there's something for every mood, every style, and every "version" of you this season.

Now that the days are getting longer and the weather is getting warmer, it's also the right time to change up the scent you wear. Something fresher, lighter, that goes with the energy of spring. Although, if you're the type who doesn't shy away from warm and slightly heavier scents, the good news is that there's no shortage of them this year either.

This year brings a very interesting combination: fresh citrus scents, soft flowers, but also deeper notes like tonka, vanilla or tea. For example, there are perfumes that combine citrus with sweet notes, creating a summery, yet elegant feel. Others are more minimalist, with soft scents that adapt to the scent of the skin.

One trend is the return of peach scents, which give the perfume a sweet but not heavy feel. Also, tea perfumes (matcha or hojicha) are becoming increasingly popular, especially for those of you who want something more sophisticated.

On the other hand, there is no shortage of new versions of classic perfumes, which this time come more modern, lighter and more suitable for daily use.

Here are some of this year's new fragrances:

Parfums de Marly Athenais
