Aerin Lauder has been impressing fragrance fanatics with decidedly feminine, straightforward scents since her brand released the first collection in 2013. Bolstered by sleek packaging, the popular blends have become a necessary addition to any woman’s collection. Waterlily Sun is an interesting choice as a transitional spring scent with its vibrant green florals, apt for balmy weather, offset by warmer wintry notes. Opening with a distinct spicy citrus bergamot note, it dries down to reveal floral notes of waterlily and jasmine sambac undercut by a sweet musk. The subtle mix is a blend of beautiful contradictions, at times both energizing and tranquil. Inspired by Lauder’s trip to Claude Monet’s garden in France, a spritz of this scent can transport wearers to the most luxurious places [AERIN Waterlily Sun Eau de Parfum Spray, $110/1.7oz; aerin.com]. –Angela Bobo
