Best Light and Crisp Fragrance
Buy It: Kate Spade Live Colorfully Eau de Parfum Spray, $98; nordstrom.com
We can’t get enough of this fun, bold packaging; but the crisp fragrance stands on its own just fine too! This is for the lighthearted, life-of-the-party lady who brings some color to any room. A mix of florals, citrus, musk, and coconut water, this scent is complex and rich—the perfect balance of loud and soft.
