Is it really spring if we’re not investing in a brand-new floral fragrance? If you’re as obsessed with fragrances as I am, then I know you are. But if you haven’t already, Remezcla’s got you covered with a list of our favorite Latine-owned, spring-forward fragrances — even if you’re not the biggest fan of florals. Whether it’s a sweet vanilla, a fresh bergamot, or salty sea water, these scents aren’t your grandma’s floral perfumes.
Plus, most of these fragrances are gender-neutral — meaning they’re an effortless blend of deep warm notes (masculine) and classically feminine ones. So, keep on scrolling to shop seven of our favorite luxury Latine-owned fragrances we highly recommend. And who knows? You just might find a new signature scent that’s ethically produced, inspired by Latine culture, and that transcends the season.

One of my personal favorite brands, DedCool is a genderless, non-toxic, and vegan fragrance brand that was founded by Chilean-Italian-American Carina Chaz.
