Winter is a time when not only wardrobes change but also the scents we surround ourselves with. In cold weather, light and fresh fragrances can fade into the frosty air, making it worth choosing richer, warmer, and deeper perfumes.
What notes are perfect for winter
In winter, fragrances unfold differently, making deep, rich notes more prominent. Here are some categories that are perfect for the cold season:
- Oriental scents - vanilla, amber, musk, and patchouli add warmth and sensuality.
- Woody notes - sandalwood, cedar, and oud create an elegant, long-lasting trail.
- Spicy accents - cinnamon, clove, ginger, and saffron bring depth and mystery.
- Gourmand fragrances - hints of cocoa, coffee, caramel, and honey create a cozy, sweet aura.
How to choose the right winter perfume
Test fragrances in cold weather - perfumes unfold differently in winter than they do in summer.
Choose more concentrated formulas - parfum or eau de parfum will last longer than eau de toilette.
Apply perfume to warm areas - wrists, neck, and the crooks of your elbows. The warmth of your body will help the fragrance unfold.
