Citrus-scented, yet warm fragrances, perfect for the winter season To bring a little bit of sunshine into the coldest season

Who said citrus fragrances are only for summer? Actually, when combined in the right way, with a touch of amber, wood, or spices, they can transform a fresh, fruity perfume into a sensual and enveloping embrace, like wine turning into mulled wine. Winter citrus fragrances evoke sunshine, but with that cozy warmth that makes you think of a cashmere sweater. After all, oranges are only in season now. Here are some perfect examples for the colder months.

Citrus perfumes for autumn/winter 2025

Topaz - Kajal Paris

Topaz is the perfect mix of citrus and warm accords. The opening of elderflower, orange blossom, rum, and lime is sparkling and lively, while the heart of candied lemon, rose, and blackcurrant balances the sweetness with the right amount of acidity. What warms and softens everything is the base of ambroxan, gray amber, musk, and cashmere wood.

L'Interdit Rouge - Givenchy

Givenchy's L’Interdit Rouge is a more intense version of the classic. Here, floral notes meet a spicy and slightly citrus touch that warms you immediately. Notes of blood orange blend with tuberose and jasmine, while the base of vanilla, patchouli, and sandalwood makes the fragrance sensual and enveloping. It’s the perfect scent for those who love fragrances that leave a warm trail even on chilly winter days.

Oud & Bergamot - Jo Malone London

A contrasting perfume that combines two opposite worlds: the fresh citrus of bergamot and the depth of oud. The result is extremely elegant, clean, but with a warm and mysterious soul.

Black Saffron - Byredo

Black Saffron is an unusual citrus that perfectly blends freshness and warmth. The opening is sparkling, with Chinese grapefruit and juniper berries giving a citrusy and aromatic touch. Then comes saffron, which immediately warms the composition, accompanied by a heart of leather and black violet. The base of raspberry, cashmeran, and vetiver makes the perfume even more enveloping.

Devotion - Dolce & Gabbana

For lovers of citrus gourmand fragrances, Devotion is no novelty. It’s a sweet perfume with a sunny yet warm soul. The opening of candied lemon and orange instantly transports you to an Italian pastry shop. As it warms on the skin, creamy and vanilla notes emerge, inspired by the Maison’s take on panettone, the classic Milanese Christmas cake. The result is a mix of freshness and indulgence, perfect for those who want a citrus gourmand even in the colder months.
