If you haven’t traded in your summery scents for something more warm for winter, you might want to get on it! The snow is here, and no one wants to smell like a peach when they aren’t in season. Don’t know where to start? Lost amidst the smells of vanilla and sandalwood? This list will provide you with a little direction.
Winter perfumes tend to be spicier and more complex than summer fragrances, but that doesn’t mean you should shy away. The cold weather allows for you to be bolder with your scent, because the lack of summer heat means your fragrance won’t linger as long which means you have to be a little more daring in order to make an impact. So when you find something you love, don’t be afraid to double up with the matching scented lotion to give yourself more staying power.
