Every spring Lampe Berger refreshes the range, and the 2014 Lampe Berger new spring fragrances lean clean and soft. Here is a closer look at the three new scents and the lamps that go with them.
A few times a year Lampe Berger launches new fragrances and lamps to continuously keep the selection fresh and inspiring.
We love the new Lampe Berger Polygon lamp – A geometric glass lamp, both modern and elegant, dressed with glossy opaque lacquer. The lacquering is shaded downwards from the top to reveal the base of the lamp. This fragrance lamp is available in red, black and white.
Another popular lamp for gift giving is the Lampe Berger Cube. It’s simple stying and affordable price make it great for hostess gifts and housewarming gifts. The Cube lamp is available in several colors.
The new Smoky color is a nice addition with its neutral color tone.
Lampe Berger also has 3 new fragrances this spring, all with a clean, fresh theme.
Soap Memories is a clean fragrance reminiscent of bath-time. This floral chypre has orange, peony and cotton blossoms that are enhanced with a hint of sweet almond. Lampe Berger Soap Memories has top notes of lily of the valley, clean notes and orange blossom, heart notes of peony and cotton flower and base notes of sweet almond, patchouli.
Lampe Berger My First Fragrance is like the scent of fresh water, so gentle and tender. This scent is reminiscent of the first fragrance you smelled as a child – slightly musky and powdery and incredibly comforting. My First Fragrance has top notes of bergamot, lemon and tangerine, heart notes of rose and orange blossom and base notes of grey amber and musk.
Lampe Berger Miss Violet is a feminine blend of rose petals and violet powder softened with a hint of delicious vanilla and fruity raspberry. This scent is reminiscent of subtly iridescent luxury lipsticks. Miss Violet has top notes of cherry and rose, a heart note of raspberry and base notes of oris and violet powder.
What Lampe Berger fragrance do you use most in the spring?
Choosing among the Lampe Berger new spring fragrances
All three of the Lampe Berger new spring fragrances share a clean, gentle theme, but they are not the same. Soap Memories is the freshest of the group, built on florals and cotton. My First Fragrance is soft and powdery, with a musky base that feels comforting. Miss Violet is the most feminine, with a sweeter, lipstick-like touch.
If you are unsure which of the Lampe Berger new spring fragrances to pick, think about the room. Soap Memories suits a bathroom or laundry area, where a clean smell is the whole point. My First Fragrance is a good fit for a bedroom, and Miss Violet works in a dressing room or a living space.
These Lampe Berger new spring fragrances sit in the same general family, so they blend well with each other. As we explain in our guide to how to change a Lampe Berger fragrance, scents within a family can be switched without much fuss.
Picking a lamp for gifting
Among the Lampe Berger new spring fragrances and lamps, the Polygon lamp is the style pick, with its shaded lacquer and modern shape. The Cube is the easy gift, as its price and simple design suit a hostess or a housewarming. The new Smoky color is a good choice if you want something neutral that will blend into any room.
A lamp plus one of the Lampe Berger new spring fragrances makes a complete present. The recipient has everything needed to start, and you can choose the scent to match their taste, which is much easier when you read the notes above.
Do not forget that these lamps are also practical. We have written about how the lamp can remove odors from the kitchen and pets, and the Lampe Berger new spring fragrances are a good way to start.
Reading the notes on Lampe Berger new spring fragrances
Spring is a good moment to refresh a lamp. After a season of heavy, spiced scents, many of us want something lighter, and clean fragrances like these are an easy way to reset a room.
Open the windows for a few minutes first, then light the lamp. A room that has some fresh air in it lets a delicate scent show up properly, instead of sitting on top of stale air.
The notes listed for each scent are arranged in layers. Top notes are what you notice first, heart notes make up the body, and base notes linger longest. When a description lists many notes, do not worry about picking each one out.
What matters with the Lampe Berger new spring fragrances is the overall impression. Soap Memories reads as clean and floral, My First Fragrance as soft and powdery, and Miss Violet as sweet and powdery. If those words match what you like, you will probably enjoy the scent.
To see how this works more widely, the Wikipedia article on perfume explains the idea of top, heart and base notes. As always with a flame product, use the lamp on a stable surface and keep the oil out of reach of children.
