"With spring, men tend to prefer fresher fragrances that convey a sense of cleanness and purity with an outdoorsy aura. Aqua Universalis from Maison Francis Kurkdjian is becoming a true classic that appeals to all kinds of men. I also like Acqua di Gio for men.

David Moltz, DS & Durga

"Warmer weather can be enjoyed with the fresh green scents that denote spring: citrus colognes, iris, light mossy scents, angelica, etc. Acqua di Parma is a great cologne and so is DS & Durga's Italian Citrus."

Christophe Cervasel, Atelier Cologne

"In spring, it's all about freshness. The best way to achieve this is with citrus notes, green florals, or lighter woods and grasses. Mistral Patchouli is a green leafy patchouli with notes of iris, South African geranium, and Chinese star anise. It evokes the feeling of an ocean breeze."

Carlos Huber, Arquiste Parfumeur

"Because you're not as covered and are outdoors a lot more, be brave and wear something that has a bit more diffusion, more projection; the crisp air will cool it nicely. White florals on men have this cool/warm effect. For example, the gardenia-lavender-vetiver accord of Arquiste Boutonniere No. 7. A classic masculine fragrance is Fougere Royale by Houbigant. It's freshly aromatic and really rich and spicy."

Chad Murawczyk, MiN New York

"When your skin is warm, the scent tends to get amplified. Certain scents perform much better in warmer weather. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Cozumel has an olfactory pyramid infused with some Mexican sun, wafts of aromatic herbs mixed with the intimate smell of men's skin and the wild smells of a distant island... It's a truly new way of capturing male sensuality in perfume."

Barney Bishop, FragrantMoments

"Look for scents with more citrus and floral notes to keep you feeling cool and refreshed. If you tend to sweat more, switch to an antiperspirant. I'm loving Baxter of California's Deodorant in Citrus & Herbal Musk. A go-to fragrance is Atelier Cologne's Oolang Infini. It's super light, extremely fresh, and lasts all day."
