Shorter days and longer evenings, sub-zero temperatures and a white landscape lead many of us to make changes to both our surroundings and our wardrobe. And it will certainly come as no surprise that winter is the perfect moment to reach for a brand new... perfume!
If you want to get into a wintery mood and find a fragrance that is enveloping and full of depth, be sure to read our guide today. We will tell you about warm yet sensual notes that will bring a smile to your face with every spritz. Allow your winter perfume to become the perfect complement to every one of your looks.
Why is winter the ideal time to try new perfumes?
It will certainly not surprise you to hear that winter perfumes differ considerably from those we wear in summer. Of course, you can still reach for fruity, crisp fragrances, but in winter it is wonderful to opt for compositions that are multi-dimensional, very long-lasting and truly intense — so that they stay on the skin and clothing even in low temperatures.
In winter it is wonderful to go for combinations that envelop and warm, while also setting an atmospheric mood. Whereas during the warmer months it can sometimes be difficult to surround yourself with a multi-dimensional blend, winter is the ideal time to discover and experiment with such fragrances.
What fragrance notes are ideal for winter?
Yes, in winter it is worth reaching for perfumes that are enveloping, warming and full of character — fragrances that stay with us for a long time, continuing to captivate with their intensity, depth and sensuality. Trust us, they will compose beautifully with the winter landscape.
For women, a bull's-eye for winter will be oriental and spicy notes — from the beloved vanilla to amber, cinnamon and cloves. By choosing a composition with such notes, your new perfume will become like a soft scarf on a cold day.
We also recommend woody and musky compositions — those featuring cedar and sandalwood, elevated by your favourite flowers or even fruity accents! It all depends on whether you want to go for something very elegant or perhaps subtly sensual.
Winter perfumes for men can captivate with woody-oriental and spicy notes. Patchouli, amber, pepper and ambergris are all ideal here. These ingredients will make the composition simultaneously intense, long-lasting and very masculine. It is also worth mentioning the much-loved citrus-woody aromas, which — contrary to what one might think — are not reserved exclusively for summer. Do you love bergamot, lemon or mandarin? In winter, pair them with a woody base so that the fragrance you choose becomes both versatile and distinctive.
Remember that choosing the right fragrance notes will affect not only the longevity of the scent. Paying attention to them is also key to ensuring your new perfume can simply — set you in the right winter mood. Regardless of whether you are looking for a composition for everyday wear, an evening out, or a special winter occasion.
