Although you may have a signature scent that you wear year-round, there’s no denying that some fragrance notes are just more suited to a certain season. Summer has citrus and aquatic notes, autumn we start to introduce woods to complement the cooling temps, and spring has a natural gravitational pull to florals (of course). And winter? Winter is where we can roll out the big guns: the bold scents and big base notes of resins, ouds, woods, and note combinations that have you feeling warm — even when it’s torrential outside.
If you’ve heard of Hygge; the Danish concept of cosy comfort that evokes a feeling of contentment, this is that, in fragrance form. Get ready for cosy vibes with our edit of the best wintery fragrances.
Winter is a time where you can really lean into the heavier resins and woods that are too bold for summer days. This is precisely where Aix steps in with Spice, Oud, Amber, Indonesian Patchouli and Musk. It’s rich and rounded, with saffron for a bit of spice and feels like an expensive cashmere blanket to wear.
Capturing the essences of a roaring fire on a cold winter night, Fireplace is that exact smell that lingers on your clothes after sitting around drinking tea next to an open fire. Think: comforting, warm, and laces with the rich smells and smoky woods.
Inspired by the euphoric blend of spices, colours and aromas that delight your olfactory senses when walking through Morocco, Kasbah has rich and woody base notes that are balanced with fresh florals to offer lightness to the scent.
Take yourself away to a cosy log cab, where the snow falls outside, but inside the room is toasty with the smells and heat of an open fire. It’s quiet, still and calming, and the notes of three different types of cedar — smoky Texan. Sweet Virginian and Oak Moss, create a beautiful woody balance that is natural and homely all at once.
A dark, mysterious scent with a heady combination of notes including Cypress, Dark Patchouli, Vetiver and Night Musk, it’s warm, but in a stay-out-all-night-in-a-smoky-jazz-club warm, not cosying-up-at-home warm, because the note combination is too playful, intriguing and unexpected for you to keep it at home.
