A beauty writer's guide to the best perfumes for spring: including new-in fragrances I can't stop wearing
Luckily, there are plenty of new seasonal releases that tick all of my boxes and mirror the bright and breezy springtime vibes. Whether you're after floral and feminine or fruity and fresh, here are seven of the best to shop now.
The seven best spring scents to shop now
Cos Fleuriste Eau de Parfum
High-street hero Cos has just launched its first fragrance line, which, like everything else it sells, is fantastic. For spring, I'm shopping Fleuriste: a floral and bright scent energised with bright Hesperides and balanced with musky and woody undertones.
£75 Shop
Phlur Rose Whip Eau de Parfum
Like a perfume that packs more of a punch? This new scent by Phlur is a heavier take on spring florals with rose and blackcurrant, and base notes of amber and musk. Wear it on your next date night – it's super seductive.
£99 Shop
Discothèque Sweat, Tears, Paradise Eau de Parfum
Cult favourite brand Discothèque is loved by celebs like Kate Moss and Madonna, specialising in fragrances that smell like infamous nightclubs. For spring, I'd shop its Sweat, Tears, Paradise perfume: inspired by Mykonos' clifftop Cavo Paradiso, there's samphire, sea salt and mimosa that'll transport you to the beach.
£96 Shop
Jo Malone Beach Blossom Cologne
This limited edition Jo Malone scent has beauty editors raving. It's summery (coconut water) but not too sweet, balanced with fresh lime and mint, and deepened with tonka bean. It has impressive staying power and is one I'll definitely be taking on holiday.
£86 Shop
Byredo Blanche Absolu de Parfum
I'm a huge fan of Byredo's uber-fresh Gypsy Water, along with pretty much every other influencer on social media. But its new Blanche formula might just tempt me: initial musky intensity gives way to a strong floral heart with punchy black pepper. Think of a warm, crisp spring day.
£190 Shop
Who Is Elijah Ocean Eyes Eau de Parfum
This fragrance by Sofia Richie's go-to brand smells like 'sun, sweat and sex, in the best way'. In layman's terms, that's grapefruit, orange, sea water and juniper over a base of musk and amberwood. It's basically the beach in a bottle and I'm obsessed.

Kate Moss, 51, puts on a leggy display in a skimpy green dress before slipping into sexy lingerie as she poses with actress Chloë Sevigny, 50, in very sultry swimming pool shoot for Yves Saint Laurent campaign
Kate Moss put on a very leggy display in a lime green dress in a shoot for Yves Saint Laurent's Fall 2025 campaign. The supermodel, 51, proved she's still got it as she flaunted her age-defying figure in the sexy shoot. Kate was joined by American actress and director Chloë Sevigny, 50, along with model Frankie Rayder. Mother-of-one Kate, whose daughter is model Lila Moss, 22, posed for very sultry swimming pool shots with Chloe. Chloe, who most recently starred in Netflix 's Monster, placed her hand beneath Kate's cleavage as they floated in the water. American model Frankie, 50, confidently stripped off for one shot while posing under a blanket. She also posed in sexy white lace lingerie in another frame The sexy shoot saw Kate, Chloe and Frankie film in the heart of Los Angeles for the AW25 campaign. Kate was also seen reclining behind the wheel of a convertible in a faux fur coat and sunglasses. Being a renowned supermodel, she'd know a thing or two about fashion. So it's no surprise Kate has taken it upon herself to 'police' poorly dressed pedestrians. 'I like going, 'What are they thinking?'' she admits. 'I don't want to be judgy, but you know when you're like, 'Nee naw, nee naw, fashion police!'' According to Daily Mail's Richard Eden, Kate added: 'It was the weirdest look. She had a pork-pie hat, a yellow Chanel backpack, tights, leather shorts, a yellow Nike high top trainer. 'I pulled them over and said, 'Where are you from?' They said France. They're definitely not from Paris, that's for sure.' Kate recently sparked concern among her fanbase after being filmed looking 'fraught' and 'on edge' as she sat front row at Paris Fashion Week. Kate was thought to have given up alcohol back in 2017 in favour of juice fasts and reformer Pilates, even selling her own range of teas and skincare products through her beauty and wellness brand, Cosmoss. American model Frankie Rayder (pictured), 50, confidently stripped off for one shot while posing under a blanket The sexy shoot saw Kate, Chloe and Frankie film in the heart of Los Angeles for the AW25 campaign And while she has long struggled to give up her nicotine habit, just two years ago Kate - once hailed the 'greatest smoker of all time' - was seen puffing away on a vape in an attempt to give up the cigarettes. Back in January, Kate was reportedly planning a huge boozy birthday bash to celebrate her 51st birthday following her split from boyfriend of nine years, Nikolai von Bismarck, 38. Kate, who lived in the Cotswolds with teetotal photographer Nikolai, apparently decided at the time that she 'wants to let her hair down' to mark her birthday with her famous pals. A source told The Sun: 'Last year, she celebrated her 50th at an intimate soiree in Paris, which was fairly pared down. 'But a lot has changed since then and Kate has said she wants this party to be like turning over a new leaf. 'Now that her daughter Lila is all grown up and she is single again, Kate feels like she wants to let her hair down and be carefree — which is not something she's been able to do for a long time. 'She is looking on the bright side of life. Although it's sad her relationship is over, she is throwing herself back into her social life and embracing the new year.' She went on to start her new chapter celebrating her 51st birthday at A-list restaurant China Tang at The Dorchester before continuing her night until the early hours at The Globe in London's Notting Hill.

I'm Not Buying Any Other Skirts This Summer - Except This Timeless Uniqlo Style
As much as I've waxed lyrical this summer about the trending A-line white skirt, I'll be the first to admit that the trend probably has about as much staying power as the denim skirt trend did only a couple of years ago. So, it won't come as anything revolutionary, but I'm focusing on investing in timeless staples, in an effort to not only cut down my spending, but also the Vinted pile I have sitting in my bedroom. When it comes to skirts, there might be plenty of timeless styles that come to mind; a classic black mini, a pleated midi or a wrap skirt - but there's only one skirt that's timeless and will keep you cool. A linen skirt comes with such ease that no other skirt can possibly compare. Throw it on over the top of a bikini for a morning swim at the beach, button up a linen shirt over the top for lunch, or dress up for dinner; there's pretty much no occasion, at least in the summer months, that a linen skirt doesn't work for. And, the most affordable and quintessentially European-on-holiday linen skirt I've found comes from Uniqlo. Its Linen Blend Skirt has a simple silhouette and features plenty of easy-going details, like a comfortable elasticated waist and slight flare at the hem. Uniqlo, Linen Blend Skirt - Beige Uniqlo's skirt is made from a linen-blend fabric, which means it drapes nicely and doesn't have an irritating heavyweight to it. A simple silhouette, but one that can be dressed up or down nonetheless, the Linen Blend Skirt also has an elasticated waist and maxi length. Styling a linen skirt, when it's as good as Uniqlo's, is super easy. If in any doubt, the hack to wearing linen is pairing it with something equally as breezy. Team a linen skirt with a ruffled or boho-esque blouse and finish with platform sandals or even toe-ring sandals for a throw-on-and-go everyday outfit (it's also office-appropriate, too). Another way to style a linen skirt that's fit for meandering round cafes, markets and vintage stores is to wear it with a basic tank top (I head to H&M for mine), white socks and chunky black loafers. For an evening affair, pair the skirt with a waistcoat top and add a pair of kitten heels to polish the look. ©Instagram/@iamcharlotteolivia Uniqlo, Linen Blend Skirt - Green If you prefer to lean into brighter colours in the summer, Uniqlo's classic Linen Blend Skirt also comes in a chartreuse colourway. Style with other equally bright colours and a few chunky bangles. There you have it, proof that not all linen skirts are created equal. While the fabric has long been (somewhat unfairly) cast as crinkly and high-maintenance, Uniqlo's Linen Blend Skirt, with its breezy shape and elasticated waist, changes that. Suddenly, ironing doesn't seem like such a chore - or maybe, with a skirt this good, you won't mind a few creases anyway. COS, Linen-Blend Midi Column Skirt COS also offers a great linen skirt, made from a similar linen-blend material. A style that's fit for the warmer weather, its black colour makes it extremely versatile, whether you're pairing it with a baby tee and ballet flats, or with a blouse and loafers. Aligne, Mia Linen Maxi Skirt Aligne's take on a linen skirt is, as you'd expect from the brand, tailored yet floaty. It features a back slit and zip, as well as dart detailing at the waistband. Plus, it's available in two easy-to-style colours - white and black. Massimo Dutti, Flounce Linen Blend Midi Skirt If you prefer your linen skirt to have a bit more shape to it, Massimo Dutti's iteration is the one for you. Finished with a zip fastening at the back, the skirt is perfect for pairing with sheer vest tops and platform sandals. Main image credit: Instagram/@trinekjaer_ Gemma Lavers is a fashion commerce writer at Grazia, where she tracks down viral pieces and is as comfortable navigating the M&S new-in page as she is dissecting the latest celebrity look. When not writing, shopping or at Reformer Pilates (a cliché but she's hooked), Gemma will likely be planning her next holiday (and what she's going to wear).

Kate Moss ditches her knickers to pose in stockings and a bra for sizzling new shoot
KATE Moss has left little to the imagination as she ditches her knickers for a sizzling new shoot. The supermodel, 50, posed in just stockings and a bra for the steamy Saint Laurent ad. 8 8 8 8 8 Kate stunned in a white lace bra and matching white stocking for the autumn 2025 advertising campaign with the fashion house. The model let her tussled locks flow as she posed on a bed legs crossed with no knickers. In another pic the blonde beauty can be seen outstretched inside of vintage car donning a chic fur jacket styled with some black shades. Posed on a chair Kate looked effortless in a flowing mustard yellow dress, gold bangles and the staple Saint Laurent bag at her side. Kate also teamed up with actress Chloe Sevigny the pair putting on a racy display together. The US actress is known for her roles in the hit films Lizzie, Boys Don't Cry and American Psycho. The duo were snapped both in a pool and on the beach posing together sensually. Kate, who has been modelling since she was 14, is proving she's still at the top of her game in these latest seductive snaps. The shoot comes after Kate's wellness brand Cosmoss recently went bust with debts topping £2.9million. Papers signed by the British icon, show the company has little more than £5,000 in the bank and £241,000 of leftover stock. Inside RHOC Season 18 Drama: Shocking Departures and Explosive Feuds In total, it owes unsecured creditors £2,939,729.29. A source said: 'Kate turned her back on partying in lockdown and became obsessed with wellbeing and healing. 'But now she's gone full circle and is back on the party circuit, it seems the business has hit the skids, too. 'She has called in liquidators and now just wants to put it behind her. "Kate put her heart and soul into Cosmoss, but it didn't work out.' The Cosmoss website — selling products including a £125 Sacred Mist perfume and £95 pots of face cream — is no longer taking orders. 8 8 8
