Floral, spicy, rich, fresh. Whatever your preferred fragrance, surrounding yourself in a heady cloud of gorgeous scent is a fabulous way to brave the cold winter weather.
It’s also the perfect excuse to spend your leftover Christmas gift vouchers and invest in a product that will last a few months at least!
From timeless classics to sparkling new favourites, here are our Top 5 Winter Perfumes for an instant pick-me-up:
Giorgio Armani – Si £44
An elegant, luxurious scent, reflected in the compact, streamlined bottle. Gorgeous contrasting top notes of velvety berry and citrusy mandarin gradually give way to a warm, rich base of amber and vanilla. Lingers beautifully on the skin, perfect for wearing during the day and into the night.
Jo Malone – Pomegranate Noir £39
You can rarely go wrong choosing Jo Malone, and Pomegranate Noir is no exception. This classic fragrance is one we’d pick time and time again. Rich, fruity essences of pomegranate, plum and raspberry are freshened by lily and pink pepper, capturing winter berries with a subtle hint of oncoming spring.
Calvin Klein – Down Town £24.75
This is the perfect scent for brightening up dreary mornings. Bursting with sweet florals and fruits, including pear, lemon, gardenia and violet. The clever inclusion of deeper, spicy musks warms this fragrance, preventing it from being too light and summery – perfect for everyday winter wear.
Elie Saab – Le Parfum £38
A velvety, grown-up scent – the impact of this gorgeous perfume wins us over every time. Heady jasmine and orange blossom make this a rich, deep fragrance. Subtle enough to be sprayed on lightly for daytime, but really comes into its own as a heady scent for an evening out.
Dolce and Gabbana – Intense £45
Seductive oriental florals and luxurious sandalwood – this is the one to wear on an evening where you want to subtly turn heads. As with other D&G fragrances, this has fabulous staying power – swathe yourself a velvety scent that is as provocatively intense as its name promises.
