As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, it’s not just our wardrobes that require a seasonal switch up—our fragrance preferences often evolve as well. Winter perfumes are like the olfactory equivalent to a cozy, cashmere blanket—a comforting and enveloping accompaniment to frosty weather. They tend to have a warmer, richer base often composed of spices, amber, and woodsy notes that provide that ‘snuggled by the fireplace’ feeling.
