Top 10 Winter Perfumes
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
