Seeing as exposed pedicure season has descended early this spring, we're beginning to think it's time to switch up our fragrances, too. Luckily, there’s a new crop of light-as-air scents ready for spritzing.

First, a quick primer. What makes these scents different from their original (often pricier) formats? It’s all in the concentration. While an eau de parfum may have 15 or 20 percent aromatic compounds diluted with alcohol and water, an eau de toilette will have a lower percentage, say 10 percent (actual percentages vary within categories). This means an eau de toilette will be less intense and have shorter longevity than its eau de parfum counterpart - and this lighter, fleeting quality happens to be perfect for spring and summer, when warmer body temperatures magnify scents. Now, onto the juices.

A limited-edition version of the original Burberry Body, this mist is light enough to spritz all over, and its alcohol-free formula can be sprayed directly on hair, too. Top notes of fresh green absinthe, peach and freesia give way a heart of rose absolute, iris and sandalwood, with woody cashmeran, vanilla, amber and musk at the base.

Perfect for: Sexing up a steamy summer night.

$50 (2.8 oz) at burberry.com.

This light floral opens with giant water lily, mandarin, gardenia and magnolia leaf notes before revealing a heart of yellow genet flowers, honeysuckle and jasmine sambac. Sandalwood, amber and musk make up the base.

Thierry Mugler's two new Aqua Chic fragrances are created via a unique process that incorporates fragrant hydrosol waters in place of the traditional water/alcohol blend.
