5 perfect fragrances for winter

As Yves Saint Laurent said, “perfume is the brother of breath". Precisely for this reason each season is characterized by nuances of those and smells that surround it and differentiate it from the others. The harsh winter temperatures call for more intense, heady and magnetic fragrances.

In fact, one thing that not everyone knows is that the cold helps slow down the evaporation of the fragrance, so it is a good idea to focus on warm and persistent essences that awaken the numb senses from the cold climate that characterizes the winter season. Like a sweater, the perfume embraces us in a warm and soft cuddle characterized by vibrant and incisive chords, which unwittingly warm up and give a feeling of wellness to the person who uses it.

Just like Proust's Madeleines, these bursts of contrasting aromas evoke memories of winter landscapes, mountain huts, pine needles, burning wood, hot chocolates, mulled wine and freshly baked cookies.

We can divide the winter olfactory families into: woody notes characterized by vetiver and sandalwood; chypre notes typical of musk, patchouli and oak; leather notes representative of tobacco, resins and leather; oriental notes composed of amber, incense and spices; and finally the gourmand notes of vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and nutmeg.
Better to avoid fragrances with fruity and floral notes, more suitable for the spring season and characterized by a delicate fragrance and a weak persistence. But be careful, it is not certain that perfumes with floral tones cannot be used even in winter!

The right combination can give rise to a mix of essences that will be able to give the right intensity and warmth to the fragrance; an example is the use of Turkish rose and jasmine which dampen the heaviness of drier and more resinous notes such as tobacco or oud.
