Winter is here, and so is the season to find the perfect fragrance to match those cosy feels. As the temperature drops, you might be tempted to reach for a warm, spicy scent. Are you into citrusy bursts? Sultry florals? Or deep, comforting woodsy notes? Some perfumes are so fresh, that they’ll make you feel like you’re walking through a crisp winter morning, while others are deep, rich, and sultry enough to take you from après-ski straight to date night.
Our curated list of these 7 perfumes are the perfect pick for anyone looking to elevate their fragrance collection this winter. Each one offers something different, from bright and zesty to rich and intense, ensuring there’s a scent to match any occasion—from cosy nights in to festive nights out. You’re very welcome.
Tom Ford Soleil Neige Eau de Parfum
Tom Ford Soleil Neige is the perfect fragrance for anyone who wants to feel fresh, but make it winter. Imagine walking through soft snowflakes while sipping a zesty citrus cocktail—thanks to top notes of bergamot and lemon, this perfume packs a punch of brightness that feels like a cool, après-ski escape. As it dries, it softens into an earthy, salty musk that wraps around you like a cozy winter blanket. It’s light yet bold, fresh yet warm—a fragrance that feels like snow on the beach. Ideal for those crisp days when you want to feel effortlessly cool without going over the top.
Van Cleef & Arpels Moonlight Rose Eau De Parfum
Van Cleef & Arpels Moonlight Rose is here to prove that roses aren’t just for spring. This fragrance takes the classic flower and adds a spicy, edgy twist that’ll make you rethink everything you know about floral scents. The blend of Taif roses and pink peppercorn brings a heat and complexity that’s far from your typical flowery fragrance. As it settles, hints of raspberry and dark patchouli emerge, adding a sultry, almost gourmand depth that’s perfect for winter nights. It’s bold, mysterious, and made for those date nights when you want to leave a lasting impression.
Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum
If there’s one fragrance that exudes quiet luxury, it’s Yves Saint Laurent’s Black Opium. This perfume is the definition of cool, modern elegance, and its mix of coffee and vanilla creates a cozy, irresistible scent. Soft white florals add a feminine touch, but the coffee notes are what steal the show. A true classic that stands out, this perfume has earned its spot in the spotlight for good reason. If you’re looking for something sweet but not too sugary, warm but not too overwhelming, Black Opium has got your back.
Memo Paris Inverness Eau de Parfum
Memo Paris Inverness Eau de Parfum is like bottling the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Imagine crisp winter air, lush green landscapes, and the warmth of a cosy cabin after a brisk walk—it’s all here. With warm, peppery amyris oil and earthy woodsy notes, this fragrance feels like stepping into a winter escape. It’s comforting, grounding, and perfect for those days when a little outdoorsy charm is all you need. Bonus? The scent lasts for hours, keeping that adventurous vibe alive all day. If a subtle yet unforgettable winter scent is your thing, Inverness is a must-try.
MEMOIZE LONDON
Memoize London has dropped a range of fragrance enhancers that are designed to offer endless possibilities for personalising your favourite perfumes. We recommend their original perfume, in ‘White Castitas’ and encourage you to layer it with their range of perfume enhancers. Inspired by the science of scent layering, the enhancers are formulated with cutting edge molecules that interact with skin and fragrance at a deeper level to amplify, refine and transform any fragrance – a clear winner for those long winter nights. Memoize’s range of 6 new enhancers is sure to enhance longevity, intensify notes, or add warm and dimension, and are perfect for layering or wearing alone.
Coach Love Eau de Parfum
Coach Love Eau de Parfum brings together the juiciness of strawberry, the richness of red velvet rose, and a subtle hint of cedarwood to create a sweet, fruity fragrance that feels like a walk through a strawberry field in fall (minus the frostbite, of course). This one has that fun, youthful energy that’s perfect for daytime wear, but it still has that warm depth thanks to the woods and florals. It’s playful without being overpowering, making it a great option for those who want a lighter, less intense winter scent.
Versace Bright Crystal Eau de Toilette Spray
When the world is full of rich, heavy, spicy winter scents, Versace Bright Crystal is the refreshing outlier. It’s like the cool breeze you didn’t know you needed, thanks to bright notes of yuzu lemon and peony. It’s a breath of fresh air that feels light and flirty, like stepping into a sunlit garden in the middle of January. The pomegranate adds a burst of fruitiness, and the musk grounds it, giving it a smooth, slightly powdery finish. If you want something that’s fresh, uplifting, and not so heavy, this is the one to reach for.
