Best Perfumes for Spring

If you're in the mood for the sort of scent beautiful young women in perfectly tailored dresses wear to garden parties, Miss Dior Cherie ($62) won't disappoint. Unlike the fruity florals that are all over the youth market, Cherie opens with classic fresh floral notes that are prim without being matronly. It gets a little sweeter as it develops, taking on a tart, orange-y edge, and then drying down to a pretty musk with hints of patchouli.
