Video summary
In this video, beauty and lifestyle influencer Coco Styles discusses the top fragrance notes trending for women in their 40s during the spring of 2025, emphasizing a philosophy of mindful consumption amidst rising prices. Rather than purchasing new items unnecessarily, she advocates for checking existing collections first to find perfumes that contain these popular scents. Her primary goal is to replace only those fragrances that are completely empty, ensuring that every bottle in her closet is worn frequently and loved deeply. This approach allows her to stay current with trends without overspending or accumulating duplicates, a strategy she hopes viewers will adopt to be smart shoppers in an expensive market.
The video highlights five specific floral and citrus notes that are currently making waves: rose, jasmine, bergamot, neroli, and orange blossom. For each note, Coco shares her personal favorites from her current collection, such as the discontinued Balenciaga Flora Botanica and Dior Miss for rose, which she praises for their quality despite being hard to find. She also recommends Prada Infusion d'Iris Intense for bergamot and Chanel Riviera for neroli, noting that these options offer sophisticated scents without breaking the bank. Additionally, she suggests that even if a specific note like rose isn't a primary preference, other ingredients in a perfume often balance it out to create a pleasant overall experience, encouraging viewers to test scents in-store before buying.
Coco concludes by reinforcing her message of financial caution and intentional living, explaining that while she loves perfume, the current economic climate requires a more careful approach to spending. She shares that her mother used to own many perfumes, but she aims to finish one bottle before moving on to another, avoiding the fear-based shopping habits that can lead to waste. By focusing on finishing existing favorites like Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò, which features orange blossom and is nearly empty, she plans to potentially invest in a new scent only when necessary. She ends the video by inviting her audience to engage with her content on social media and promising future videos as she regains her energy after a period of rest.

2025 fragrance notes you should be
wearing this spring welcome back to my
channel guys it's your girl Coco Styles
and on this channel we talk about beauty
fashion lifestyle and styling So today
we're going to get into the top notes
that I am seeing as far as trending for
this spring when it comes to your
fragrances I do not have a ton of
perfume and if you've watched my no buy
list you know that I am not purchasing
anything new until something is
completely gone my reason for doing that
is solely
because it's getting crazy out here with
these prices okay the more I shop and
the more I buy things I'm always
intentional about what I put in my
closet it I buy things that I absolutely
love so with that being said the prices
are extremely high when it comes to
literally everything but with that being
said I'm trying to limit the spending on
things that I'm not completely done with
yet if that makes sense so I do not have
a lot of perfume but I do wear each of
my fragrances any chance that I get so
there's not one single perfume over here
that that I have not worn which is a
good thing that means that I'm not just
buying things but I'm going to get into
the notes that are trending for this
spring 20125 so Rose and Jasmine are two
notes that I'm seeing as trending for
this spring so before you go out buying
anything check your collection first and
that's what I'm going to show you I'm
going to go through each note that is
trending and I'm going to find one of my
perfumes that actually have the note in
it and share that with
so that way I'm not over buying perfume
this spring so one of the notes are rose
and for me what I have in my collection
currently the two fragrances that
actually have Rose in it are my
Balenciaga Flora Botanica this is
something that I got from someone that I
knew she always wore and I just thought
it smell really good but it's
discontinue I just so happen to find it
at an outlet and that my friends is this
guy
[Music]
it has a really nice let me just put the
top back on so you can see cuz I'm a
little far away simple bottle but it
smells so good it smells so yummy now
here's the
thing I feel
like it smelled different on her than it
does me but you guys know our bodies
react to perfume differ but this does
have Rose in it again this is Flora
Botanica by Bal iaga I know we not
supposed to be wearing Balenciaga but I
had it for a while um I love it I think
it smells really good and again it is
discontinued so you may be able to find
this on like at an outlet or like some
sort
of mall that has like a perfume store or
whatever but this has Rose in it so
before I go out to buy anything else I
am going to check my fragrance
collection first before I buy anything
new the second thing that has Rose in it
is my M Dior I believe that there's two
versions of this from from what I can
see this also has Rose in it this smells
so freaking good um I believe there's a
lighter version than this this doesn't
say Intense or anything like that
typically if there's two versions of a
perfume and one is a little bit darker
it'll say intense but it doesn't say it
but this does have Rose in it so I don't
have to buy anything new the top is
super cute but it's so hard to get off
sometime let me see oh yeah let me just
show you guys this is the m
Dior love
it your girl going to be wearing this
this spring listen I'm trying not to buy
new perfume I put it on my Note bu list
I'm going to stand on it I'm only going
to buy something if something is
completely gone and I think I'm in luck
so those two items have Rose in it and
there's a lot of perfumes that have Rose
in it just check the notes um read
everything before you purchase anything
and if Rose is really not your thing I
would recommend going into a store and
smelling the perfume because 99% of the
times there's something else in it
that's going to balance out that rose
smell so the next one is going to be
Jasmine so the note Jasmine to me is
very feminine if that makes sense like
has a really nice flow to it and also my
Dior also has Jasmine in it as well so
if you notice the pattern here I like
Jasmine this is a 3.4 Oz I believe it's
a nice bottle nice size bottle smells
good and I want to say Sephora has
this yeah I think Sephora has thiso
I might wear that today all right the
third one is going to be bergamont now
bergamont can be a bit overpowering for
some but if that is not an issue for you
I would say let's go for my product
intense okay this is that saf far too
okay
o there's another version of this one
and it's
lighter um I I tend to go towards the
darker ones because it has uh I want to
say it has white musk in it or something
that I know that I always gear towards
uh but the Prada
intent amazing okay these perfumes I
don't feel like they
are super expensive like they're not in
the 300 range none of that I don't think
you need to spend that much if you just
like to smell good if you don't want to
go past 2 25 then I would say keep it
under that like literally and again if
you go to an outlet you will probably be
able to find one of these scents for the
Lolo all right so the fourth note is
going to be naroli I think I'm saying it
right I didn't realize that a couple of
my perfumes does have that note in it
and obviously I like it the Prada
intense is one of them and then my
Chanel
Riviera this is very much so this is let
me see this is very much so rich Auntie
Vibes perfume okay yeah the girl in the
store said it too she was like this is I
feel like if I saw you you would smell
like this and I it smells really good so
this is the Chanel
Riviera nice bottle it is lighter in
color so it has like a light fresh scent
to it not overpowering not like FL not
like floral or anything like that but it
does have the naroli in it um and I got
this
from Nordstroms okay you know nrom
always got to sell but naroli is the
fourth note that's trending there's a
lot of perfume girlies online I wanted
to share these
because one I did a Nob list okay and
again my goal is to replace a perfume
that I really really love or buy one new
when a whole bottle is completed okay
but Chanel Riviera if you notice that a
lot of them do share some of the same
notes and that's because I my nose just
kind of runs towards those scents like
quite often all right and the last one
is Orange Blossom so this per that I'm
about to show
you I love it and it's literally on its
last
leg and this is the Georgio Armani C
like I literally have like a drop in
here
here and since this is pretty much empty
I get to buy a new perfume I'm excited
okay this is a really good way for me to
not just over spend and over buy but
this has orange blossom in it it's an
oldie but goodie it's one of those where
I feel like I would see a very
sophisticated lady wearing right someone
who's dressed in like a minimalist style
she has own Shades she is just giving
everything minimalist but very very
classic and classy okay and I guess you
could
say oh money that's what this gives me I
don't know I just really like it it's
one of those that I would probably
always keep in my collection so again
since it is pretty much on its last leg
cuz I got like two drops in here I'm
going to either replace it or buy
something new um if I buy something new
I'll definitely share that with you guys
but those are the notes that I'm seeing
as trending for fragrances so that is
Jasmine that is Rose is bergamont that
is naroli and that is orange blossom let
me know what you guys think about the
video I just wanted to share some things
that I currently have the goal is not to
buy a bunch of perfumes ladies now I
will say my mother when she was alive
she had a ton of perfumes okay like a
ton she just love love love perfumes um
and I know a lot of you girls do but for
me with the way everything is going in
the America of okay I am being very very
cautious on where my money is going I'm
not going to completely stop things
because I am not going to live in like
fear over here with all the crap that's
going on um I'm just going to be a
little bit more cautious and you know
finish one thing and then move on to the
next thing just being smart smart
