There's no better time to switch up your signature scent than the start of the new year. As the saying goes: New year, new fragrance, new you. Still, shopping for a signature scent is a difficult undertaking—after all, you can't be associated with just anything.
That's why we've rounded up the best new fragrances we know you'll love. As you browse, keep in mind the season's hottest trend: elegant florals.
