Scents of the Season: Winter Fragrance Trends
If you've ever smelled a specific scent and associated it with a season, you know that the colder months of the year evoke certain emotions and memories. During the winter, you may be drawn to warm perfumes or colognes that make you feel cozy and that bring back the contentedness that you felt as a child, snuggled up during the coldest part of the year. If you're looking for winter perfumes to get you through until spring arrives, this list of seasonal scents will help you find the ideal product for your desires.
Best Winter Fragrance Trends
Warm and inviting is the name of the game when you're choosing scents for the winter months. When you wear your chosen fragrance, you want it to invite you to get cozy and warm and enjoy everything the cold part of the year has to offer, from snow days to holiday parties to movie nights and more. Among the trends for this winter are the following scents. With these fabulous ingredients, there's something for every avid fragrance lover this winter.
Leather and Smoke
Reminiscent of a wood-burning fire, the combination of leather and smoke is the perfect choice for the winter months. A lovely woody scent is a great option, whether it's cedar wood or birch. Leathery, earthy smells make a fantastic base note, so sniff out something that smells like burnt wood, suede or a warm fire burning in the fireplace.
Dark Berries
You may not equate the scent of berries with the winter season, but dark-colored berries are a fantastic choice when the weather gets cold. The fruity smell is the perfect scent to replace tropical fruits that you may gravitate toward during the summer. Look for fragrances that offer up the timeless scents of blackberry or cherries as the base note, with an undertone of spicy scents, like black pepper, bay leaf, black tea or cedar.
Vanilla and Other Edibles
If winter brings you memories of the holiday season and the scents it carries with it, you'll love the idea of wearing the warm scents of vanilla, caramel, chocolate, almond and milk during the coldest part of the year. The opulent scent profile of the Orient is another delicious smelling choice for the winter. Think citrus notes, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and pink pepper.
Warm Spices
If you are moving away from floral notes and toward something a bit more wintery, warm spices are the way to go. Consider looking for fragrances that boast cardamom, nutmeg and cloves, with undertones of brandy or rum, which will give you all of the warmth you crave this winter season.
Bergamot
It might be winter, but if your preferred scent is something a bit more uplifting, you'll love wearing notes of bergamot when the temperature dips. It still has that woodsy undertone that goes so well with cold weather, but you also get a little bit of citrusy notes and the floral scent of lavender, giving you a mood boost when there's so much darkness and cold outside your front door.
Fragrances for Women
Perfame Elixir No 23
The perfect blend of feminine and warm winter, this scent is a lovely choice.

Perfame Elixir No 38
Ladylike, but with a base of incense, this scent is both alluring and evocative of the clean perfume you seek out in the wintertime.
