Winter ushers in a change of weather, clothes, and personal-care habits and with this, our perfume usage changes too. While light, citrusy, or aquatic notes define summer scents, the crisp, dry winter air requires fragrances that last longer. A winter perfume, therefore, is not just a fragrance; it turns into chic wearable art, an extension of one's personality.
Why do you need a different perfume in winter?
Cold weather tends to dry the skin and reduce perspiration. Consequently, lighter fragrances disappear much more quickly in winter. Woody, amber, or musk notes last much longer, however, melding beautifully with the body's warmth to create a soft and comforting aura.

Which scents are best for winter?
Woody Notes:
Sandalwood, cedarwood, patchouli, these are winter favorites because of their depth and warmth.
Amber & Vanilla:
These notes bring a sweet, cosy warmth that feels perfect for chilly mornings or evenings.
Spicy Tones:
Cinnamon, clove, pepper, and cardamom add a rich, comforting intensity appropriate for winter.
Musk & Leather:
For lovers of more powerful and classic fragrances, either musky or leathery perfumes work great during colder months.

Everyday winter perfume wear
From office to parties, date nights to weekend outings, winter fragrances raise your bar of presence at every place. Much like how winter fashion depends on layers, perfumes unfold in layers too: first come the top notes, then the heart, and finally, the long-lasting base notes. A light spritz on wool or coats helps the scent stay even longer. Applying perfume right after a shower also increases longevity.
