The cold weather has arrived, which means it’s time to make some changes to your perfume rotation. Switch out your fresh and floral fragrances for spicy scents to bring the heat and keep cosy all winter long.
1. Estée Lauder Cinnabar Eau de Parfum
The name of this classic fragrance – which was first released back in 1978 – is a giveaway as to what you can expect. A perfume with serious projection, the main spice note is cinnamon and it also features candied cloves. This is rounded off with a warm sandalwood and resin base.
2. Yves Saint Laurent Opium Eau de Toilette
Another perfume that dates back to the 1970s, Opium is the original that has since spawned many other popular variants. Categorised as a warm spicy scent, it has notes including cloves, pepper, coriander and cinnamon, combined with musk and incense, which takes you on an olfactory journey to glamorous ancient times.
3. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum
This innovative brand has many cult classics to its name and this best-seller gets plenty of attention on TikTok. There’s a good reason for this: It’s warm and sultry – perfect for winter date nights – with notes of ginger and anise combined with the signature tobacco blossom and rounded off with vanilla.
4. Jo Malone London Ginger Beer Cologne
A brand-new beauty from the beloved British perfume house, this genderless cologne is inspired by the popular beverage from which it gets its name. As is to be expected, ginger is the hero note and it’s blended with cinnamon and oak. These come together to create a must-have scent for any winter collection.
5. Atelier Versace Safran Royal Eau de Parfum
In case you don’t know, Atelier Versace refers to the haute couture division of the iconic luxury fashion brand. This means that this range of scents is on another level! This one pays homage to saffron – the world’s most valuable and expensive spice – and also contains warm notes of nutmeg.
6. Armani/Privé Ambre Eccentrico Eau De Parfum
This unisex scent can be enjoyed by everyone and comes in a bougie bottle that will look stunning on your shelf! As an amber-prominent perfume, it contains amber notes, which are combined with cosy cinnamon, tonka bean, patchouli and dried fruit for a fragrance that’ll make you feel warm in winter.
7. Molton Brown Fiery Pink Pepper Eau De Parfum
The product of another heritage beauty and homeware house from the United Kingdom that produces linear scents with unique notes, this perfume gives spicy, hot pink pepper the platform it so rightfully deserves. This fiery note is combined with warm ginger and nutmeg, as well as musk and cedar, creating the perfect scent for the season.
8. Kenzo Jungle Eau de Parfum
One spray of this powerful perfume – one that’s been on shelves since the 90s – and you’ll be transported to a spice bazaar in India. Described as a fresh spicy scent, it has notes including cloves, cumin, caraway and cardamom at the top and middle, and warm vanilla and amber at the base.
