Winter is a fabulous time to switch up your usual fragrance. Thanks to cooler temperatures and drier air, you can get away with scents that might seem cloying at other times of year. Consider this list of top winter perfumes my holiday gift to you.
Organza by Givenchy
Amazon.com
If you love florals, consider making this your winter scent. Ultra-feminine gardenia, ylang-ylang and jasmine mingle with spicy nutmeg and green sap over rich sandalwood and vanilla. The combination is clean and sensual, just right for helping you warm things up on frosty nights.
Gossip by Cindy Adams
Amazon.com
Psst, have you heard? This perfume evokes visions of sipping mulled wine before a crackling fire. A blend of familiar spices, such as cinnamon and clove, are layered over a woody base of amber. Warm and crisp, it's a great pick for daytime or evening wear.
Cinnamon Bark by Demeter
Amazon.com
It doesn't get any simpler than this. The comforting aroma of cinnamon rules this single-note perfume. Enjoy it on its own, or layer with your favorite essential oils. Try blending with clove for intense warmth, or pair it with lavender for a pleasing DIY floriental. The price is right, too.
Intimately Beckham by David & Victoria Beckham
Amazon.com
Wicked and fresh, just like the power-couple who created it, this is a great addition to any woman's winter fragrance wardrobe. Romantic floral notes combine with spicy orange, cinnamon and myrrh over a vanilla and amber base, for a warm and beckoning appeal. As the name implies, it's a great choice when you want to get close to that special someone.
Brit by Burberry
Amazon.com
Delight your senses with this tasty-smelling scent. An unusual blend of pear, lime and almond, over a vanilla and mahogany base, this fragrance will help you to stand out from the crowd. Wear it while holiday shopping, or on any of your daytime jaunts this winter.
Angel by Thierry Mugler
Amazon.com
This flirty perfume is a continual best-seller, but its powerful scent can be headache-inducing in the summer. Save it for wintertime, when its yummy aromas of chocolate, vanilla and caramel are welcome mood-lifters. Honey and juicy fruits round out this popular fragrance, lending it a deeply sexy appeal.
Lulu Guinness Fairytales by Lulu Guinness
Amazon.com
Wear this scrumptious perfume when you want to smell like dessert. Fresh pink grapefruit, raspberry and black current mingle with jasmine and magnolia, over a delectable base of cream, sugar, vanilla and chocolate. Spritz some on your neck, or wherever you want to be nibbled. A modern winter classic, and a great value for the price.
Secret Obsession by Calvin Klein
Amazon.com
Sugarplum Fairy meets femme fatale in this voluptuous fragrance. Spicy nutmeg and exotic plum combine with orchid, tuberose, jasmine and cashmere, with vanilla and burnt amber bottom notes. The resulting concoction is complex and boozy, and unmistakably seductive. Ideal for a hot and heavy New Year's date.
Harajuku Lovers Love by Gwen Stefani
Amazon.com
We've come to count on Gwen Stefani for her kooky fashion style. Love perfume is Gwen's playful take on floral, combining peony, rose and jasmine with fresh Oriental peach and bamboo. Woody and musky notes round out the scent, which develops from girly to something more grown-up after a few hours on the skin. Great for outdoor games and apres-ski canoodling.
Youth Dew Amber Nude by Estee Lauder
Amazon.com
Estee Lauder teamed with uber-sexy designer Tom Ford to create this modern update on her classic 1950s fragrance. Lush florals including black rose and ylang ylang blend with spicy notes over a rich base of amber, patchouli and dark chocolate. Wear it when you're feeling more naughty than nice.
