The Winter Fragrances To Add To Your Beauty Arsenal

The Winter Fragrances To Add To Your Beauty Arsenal

Your wardrobe isn't the only thing that's seasonal—your scent is too. With the colder, cozier weather of the fall and winter, you might consider swapping out your usual spring and summer fragrance for something a little spicier and warm. The following best winter perfumes will set the tone for the dark nights that are ahead of us, whether your plans are of the sexy sort of more casual. Think of subtle smoke, woodsy vibes, spicy ginger and warm amber and you've got the right idea. Give a few that follow a whiff, and you'll be glad you chose them as the "scent-soundtrack" to your winter. Opening image: @maisonmargiela

Hermes Twilly d'Hermès Eau de Parfum

BEST FOR: The young at heart. "It is with young women in mind, by observing their lives, that I created Twilly d’Hermès," says creator Christine Nagel.

USERS SAID: "This scent is very refreshing. It lasts through my busy day and has garnered a lot of compliments. I love it!"


Tom Ford Private Blend 'Tobacco Vanille' Eau de Parfum

Prada La Femme Intense Eau de Parfum

LOVED FOR: Far from a one-note scent, this perfume is layered with Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, and Patchouli. 

USERS SAID: "This is an amazing new scent for me. I stopped wearing Chanel and was looking for something new. Intense is exactly the smell that I was looking for. It last[s] all day and I am very happy with this purchase. The smell of Tuberose and adding the flower portion ylang-ylang is amazing."


Elizabeth and James Nirvana Bourbon

BEST FOR: Those effortlessly stylish individuals who prefer a little a masculine edge in the way they present themselves. 


Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum

BEST FOR: Those who prefer their floral fragrance to finish with a powdery note.

Jo Malone London English Oak & Redcurrant Cologne

LOVED FOR: Inspired by "the forest at dawn," you can bet this scent is dewy, enveloping, and inviting. 

USERS SAID: "When I tried on English Oak & Red Current it transferred me into a place of warmth, comfort and happiness! This is the best fragrance I have owned in years. It envelopes you with its soft and woodsy scent."


Maison Margiela REPLICA By The Fireplace

USERS SAID: "Full disclosure...one of my favorite scents in the world is the smell of a campfire and this perfume is like campfire in a bottle. It evokes nights around the fire ring drinking bourbon and roasting marshmallows. It starts off bold, but does mellow; nice staying power." 

LOVED FOR: Inspiring vivid memories of long nights spent around a fire.
