From warm scents that conjure up the feeling of cozying up to a fireplace with friends and family to intoxicating aromas for all your winter occasions, these luxury fragrances are sure to dazzle. Here are my favorites for the season and how I recommend wearing them.
Clive Christian Art Deco Blonde Amber Noble Collection
Blonde Amber from Clive Christian is one of those scents that is so stunning, it will take your breath away from the first sniff. With wonderfully well-blended notes of bitter orange, tonka, and blonde tobacco, it evokes the intoxicating feeling of a roaring 20s soiree. This fragrance is warm and indulgent, a perfect blend of citrus, smoky, amber, and gourmand notes for a luxurious fragrance you’ll want to wear all winter. Packaged in a gorgeous perfume bottle topped with a crown modeled after Queen Victoria’s (a nod to the brand’s historical roots of The Crown Perfumery Company and its most iconic customer), this is truly the perfect addition to a fragrance connoisseur’s collection.
Liis Celestial Object
Transport yourself to the stars with the stellar new fragrance from Liis, Celestial Object. This perfume features notes of quince, pink pepper, incense, almond, and tonka bean for a dazzling scent that sparkles like the night sky. It’s a great and cozy option for cool winter evenings or dreamy date nights under the stars.
Prada Paradoxe Eau de Parfum 3-Piece Perfume Gift Set
Prada Paradoxe is a cool girl’s favorite for a good reason. This fragrance features notes of fresh neroli bud, amber, and musk, creating an avant-garde take on a floral scent that feels modern and new. Now is the perfect time to hop aboard the Paradoxe train, as you can gift yourself the 3-piece set that comes with the full-size triangle bottle as well as a travel spray and body lotion. The set is all wrapped up in an artistic geometric print gift box you’ll love to display, too!
House of Bō ESPÍRITU, BOMBÓN, and COSMOS
House of Bō creates fragrances that are truly works of art, from their intoxicating scents to their stunning bottle designs. ESPÍRITU is my current go-to for fall; a woodsy, mysterious scent that feels like an actual spiritual experience and works beautifully on everyone. I also love BOMBÓN for the soft girl who loves a unique floral and gourmand scent, while COSMOS, with its smoky and metallic notes, is a perfect gift to give to your boyfriend. House of Bō has something wonderful for everyone looking to up their fragrance game this season.
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Four-Piece Gift Set
Viktor & Rolf’s signature Flowerbomb has stood the test of time to become a classic fragrance option, but it still feels totally fresh. This iconic floral fragrance combines peony, centifolia rose, and freesia into a refreshing bouquet that delights any time of year. For an extra special treat during the holidays, of course, I recommend their Four-Piece Gift Set, which features the full-size perfume and a travel bottle, as well as a scented body lotion and perfumed body cream, all in a stunning Flowerbomb gift box.
Valentino Born In Roma Donna Extradose Le Parfum
For the lady who was born to stand out, Valentino’s Born In Roma Donna Extradose is as vibrant as its hot pink bottle and packaging. A stronger version of Valentino’s classic Born in Roma fragrance, Extradose features cassis accord, rhum accord, and vanilla extract. Inspired by a night out in Rome, this scent is great for evenings and soirees.
Phlur Cherry Stem Fragrance Duet
Phlur’s Cherry Stem fragrance is equal parts fruity and flirty! This cherry-scented fragrance is just the thing for date night, as it blends black cherry and plum nectar with ebony wood, sugared jasmine, leather, and citrus for a sweet yet sexy aroma that is sure to seduce new and old flames. Double up with the Fragrance Duet so you can have the full-size bottle for home and a travel bottle to freshen up on your next hot date.
Maison Margiela REPLICA By The Fireplace Eau de Toilette
If you’re in search of a fragrance to evoke that cozy, nostalgic feeling of wintertime, then I highly recommend Maison Margiela’s REPLICA By The Fireplace. As the name suggests, this perfume uses ingredients like guaiac wood, cashmeran, clove oil, chestnuts, and vanilla to conjure up the feeling of sitting by the fireplace, soaking up the warmth and fond memories. This is a wonderful unisex fragrance option that anyone looking for an everyday wintertime fragrance will enjoy.
L’Occitane Mist & Cleanse Duo
L’Occitane’s Mist & Cleanse Duo is truly That Girl. Featuring the brand’s almond-scented Shower Oil and Hair & Body Mist, this set is the best way to upgrade your shower routine for winter and infuse a gourmand blend of almond and vanilla into your hair and skin. Use the Shower Oil as a nourishing body wash and cleanser, then spritz the Hair & Body Mist after you step out of the shower to lock in the sweet almond fragrance all day long.
Imaginary Authors The Abandoned Mansion
Each Imaginary Authors fragrance comes with a whole story that provides the background for each scent; “The Abandoned Mansion” tells the tale of two twenty-somethings who stumble upon a mysterious mansion in the Adirondacks and decide to make it their home. If that reads like the beginning to an autumnal mystery, then the fragrance itself evokes the same feeling, with notes of cedar, pimento berry, quince, and even paperback books. Rich and warm, this is a great choice for those who prefer their perfumes to evoke an air of mystery.
