The weather has changed, and accordingly so has your wardrobe. Now, it’s time for your fragrance collection to undergo a seasonal makeover. The arrival of winter means it’s key to go in search of warmer, deeper scents that compliment the colder temperatures and longer, darker nights. But this task isn’t always easy, especially when you also have to be mindful of what the woman in your life will love. So, to lend you a helping hand Gentleman’s Journal have selected five of the best aromas out there that are perfect for this time of year and sure to get her sniff of approval.
Spray on Floris’ Honey Oud to reflect a distinguished sense of smell; hosting warm, sensuous notes of English rose, vanilla and honey, this scent has also been formulated with agarwood oud oil, one of the most expensive ingredients of a perfumer’s palette. An opulently enticing fragrance, this will certainly show her you’re a gentleman of the utmost quality.
With its woody base and musky notes of Turkish rose, Oud Satin Mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is undoubtedly a winter fragrance, but one with a difference; the scent opens up to also reveal deep notes of patchouli, vanilla and violet, taking the wearer’s nose on a sensory trip to the exotic east.
A classically masculine fragrance is always well received, so look no further than Tom Ford’s Extreme. Anchored by a woody base, the heart of this scent is full of winter richness with its alluring notes of Italian bergamot and sweet black fig.
If you’d rather that your cologne was reminiscent of balmy summer days, opt for Hermès’ Un Jardin Sur Le Nil. Whilst rooted by the aroma of sycamore wood, this scent also boasts refreshingly tropical notes of green mango and lotus, sure to spark her interest that you’ve chosen an a-typical seasonal fragrance.
Encompassing aromatic facets of thyme, cinnamon and nutmeg, Loewe’s Solo fragrance captures the festivity of the winter season in a bottle. In unusual yet harmonious contrast, the scent also has fruity notes of lemon and tangerine, sure to charm a more delicate nose.
