While winter might not be everyone’s favourite season, there’s plenty of reason to love a wintery-inspired scent. As opposed to the kind of fragrances you’ll often find lingering in the air during spring and summer, winter scents bring a little more opportunity for experimentation and depth. 

Whether you prefer woody, smokey notes, or sweeter winter florals—the scents of the cooler season aren’t just limited to your basic fireside aromas. Personally, we think there’s something to be said for changing up your signature scent to mark the turn of season—leaving you feeling warm, cosy, and nostalgic in the way only a great fragrance can. 

From scents capable of boosting your mood (and aligning your chakras) to fragrances that will transport you to a distant—and potentially warmer—location, keep reading below for the 17 fragrances you’ll want to wear all winter long.

Goldfield & Banks Purple Suede

Price: $310

If wintertime has you dreaming of Tasmania, you need to try the newest scent from Goldfield & Banks. Purple Suede is the latest addition to the Australian fragrance house's botanical series, drawing its olfactory inspiration from sweeping fields of lavender grown on the shores of Australia’s most southern coast. Beneath lavender are precious woods, luxurious leather, and spice. A truly ethereal, complex scent. Shop here

Fenty 

Price: $240

This (recently restocked) ultra-hyped fragrance from Fenty is one-of-a-kind. Rihanna worked alongside LVMH Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier to create the scent, carefully selecting each ingredient, saying "It's an experience, it's a memory, encapsulated into a fragrance. One smell, you'll never forget it." Magnolia and musk with tangerine, blueberry, and hints of Bulgarian rose absolute, geranium, and patchouli make for a truly unique wintery vibe. Shop here

YSL Libre

Price: $112

With a strong, heady base of madagascar vanilla, cedar, ambergris, and musk—YSL Libre is one of the fragrances that'll score you endless compliments. It's been a big hit since it launched back in 2019, and while it works year-round, it's a great option for a bold, punchy winter switch-up. Shop here

Aesop Rōzu

Price: $210

Aesop's gender-neutral fragrances are as transformative as a visit to one of their serene stores. Rōzu is Aesop's fourth fragrance, created alongside long-time collaborator Barnabé Fillion who also worked on Marakesh Intense. It's warm and comforting, blending rose with shisho notes and a little smoke with guaiac wood and sandalwood. Shop here
