"When the chill sets in and you find yourself swapping lightweight sweaters and trench coats for bulky jackets, don't forget to give your fragrance shelf a seasonal refresh, too. Winter fragrances often lean richer, warmer, and more enveloping - think amber, spice, woods, and heady florals that wrap around you like a cozy, knitted blanket. Business Insider spoke with three perfumers about which scents they love for winter and why. From narcotic florals to warm ambers, here's what they said about their seasonal favorites."
"Winters can be cold. When it's under 30 degrees, New York City-based independent perfumer Asia Grant likes leaning into narcotic, smooth fragrances that feel like wrapping yourself in cashmere and tucking into a dim, cozy library. Rich musks and heady florals really come alive in cold weather, and also add a brooding, dark-academia vibe that pairs well with chunky sweaters and penny loafers."
"Grant recommends Dominique Ropion's Carnal Flower, an intoxicating, full-bodied fragrance that features notes of melon, tuberose, and white musk. Because it's so highly concentrated, she often likes layering it with lighter, fresher scents to balance it out."
When temperatures drop, swap lightweight, airy fragrances for richer, warmer, and more enveloping scents such as amber, spice, woods, and heady florals. Narcotic, headier perfumes and rich musks blossom in the cold, creating a cozy, cashmere-like veil and a brooding, dark-academia atmosphere that complements chunky sweaters and penny loafers. Under roughly 30 degrees, perfumers favor smooth, narcotic blends that feel like wrapping yourself in cashmere and tucking into a dim, cozy library. Dominique Ropion's Carnal Flower, with melon, tuberose, and white musk, exemplifies an intoxicating winter scent that can be layered with lighter fragrances for balance.
