Top 10 winter smells we love

1. DEEP NIGHT BY GHOST

If you thought perfumes featuring hints of florals only had a place in your fragrance wardrobe in the summer months, think again. Deep Night by Ghost takes the universal appeal of rose and juicy fruits and confidently combines them with sensual amber and vanilla undertones. The result? A winter fragrance that’ll be a comforting addition to your beauty routine on a cold winter’s day.

2. COCO CHANEL BY CHANEL

A mysterious and provocative ambery symphony that gradually reveals its contrasting notes. The fragrance opens with the beautiful citrusy note of Sicilian Mandarin, and reveals a voluptuous heart of Jasmine Absolute, heightened with touches of Ylang-Ylang and Tunisian Orange Blossom. The oriental twist makes Coco Chanel perfect for winter evenings.

3. POUR FEMME BY MONCLER

Harnessing the crisp sensation of the Powdery Snow accord, Moncler Pour Femme bottles up the magic of freshly fallen snow, transforming it into a floral, woody musky fragrance that captures the beauty of winter. A single spritz will transport you to a world of ice-capped mountain tops, fresh alpine walks and, of course, snowball fights! The unique ‘borraccia’ flask-shaped bottle is a nod to Moncler’s mountaineering origins and its iconic quilted jacket.

4. ANGEL BY MUGLER

Sensual, captivating and mouth-wateringly delicious, Angel by Mugler is sure to tempt you this winter. And you have the delicate blend of sweet red fruits, soft caramel, honey and praline to thank for that. Bottling the nostalgic feeling of baking scrumptious treats on a cold winter’s day, this comforting fragrance makes you feel warm and cosy. But don’t worry about the sugary notes overpowering your senses – a blend of patchouli and amber adds a freshness that’s oh-so wearable at any time of the year.

5. LIBRE LE PARFUM BY YVES SAINT LAURENT

Part of the legendary YSL family, Libre Le Parfum is a signature scent that’ll never get old. Oozing a hot and spicy saffron accord set against delicious vanilla and honey with warm vetiver, this deep and intense aroma exudes unapologetic freedom in the spiciest way. You can wear it all year round, but you’ll love it most in the winter.

1. BY THE FIREPLACE BY MAISON MARGIELA

By the Fireplace from Maison Margiela captures that cosy feeling of warming up by the fire after a hard day’s skiing. You’ll almost hear the sound of skis cutting through icy snow each time you spray it. Boasting red berries, clove oil, chestnut and cashmeran accords, this fragrance smells like soft smoke, warm woods and chestnuts roasting on the fire. Pink pepper, orange blossom and creamy vanilla gently tie everything together, capturing the hot and cold contrasts of fire and snow.

2. BLACK ORCHID BY TOM FORD

Born out of Tom Ford’s quest for the perfect flower, Black Orchid revels in seduction to bring you a potion of black orchids, spice and dark accords. Traditional winter notes of patchouli, sandalwood, amber, incense and spices combine with fresh lemon and blackcurrant on a base of chocolate, vetiver and vanilla, culminating in a fragrance that’s warm, opulent and commands attention this winter.

3. Y LE PARFUM BY YVES SAINT LAURENT

A bold and woody take on the signature Y Eau de Parfum, Y Le Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent dials up the intensity to new levels. It pairs the vibrancy of French lavender with the strength of American black cedarwood to create a long-lasting aroma with maximum impact. Combined with sparkling citrus and woody base notes, this intoxicating fragrance exudes confidence – perfect for parties, dates and other special occasions this winter.

4. BORN IN ROMA YELLOW DREAM UOMO BY VALENTINO

The warm and spicy gingerbread accord in the heart of Born in Roma Yellow Dream Uomo is beautifully complemented by a base of soft and smooth vanilla, making it the ideal winter warmer. However, its burst of fresh and exotic top notes make it a popular and versatile scent that deserves a place in your scent wardrobe all year round.

5. THIS IS HIM! BY ZADIG & VOLTAIRE

With its rebellious attitude and bold rock’n’roll spirit, Zadig & Voltaire This is Him! is memorable for all the right reasons. A powerful duo of zesty grapefruit and smoky incense makes you take notice from the very first spray, reflecting the duality of strength and confidence, vibration and addiction. If you’re going on a date (or two) this winter, don’t leave home without a generous spritzing of this first.
