The Best Perfumes for Autumn and Winter

When the weather turns cold, light citrus scents seem to disappear in minutes. The cold calls for denser, warmer and cosier fragrances that unfold slowly and stay for hours. Here are our favourites for the season from the SwiftScent selection.

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

The classic of winter fragrances. Tobacco leaf, vanilla, cocoa and tonka create a warm, sweet and exceptionally cosy scent that lasts for hours.

Kilian Angels' Share

Cognac, cinnamon, praline and vanilla. It smells like a festive dessert by the fireplace and is one of the most loved scents for cold evenings.

Parfums de Marly Althair

Cinnamon, cardamom and orange blossom in the opening, then Bourbon vanilla and praline. A warm, sweet and elegant scent that works well both by day and in the evening.

Emporio Armani Stronger With You Spices

Saffron, apricot, cinnamon and vanilla with a light leather accent. Spicy and warm, ideal for cold weather when you want a scent with presence.

Tom Ford Oud Wood

Oud, cardamom, sandalwood and vetiver. More restrained and refined than the others on the list, suitable for work and formal occasions.

Tom Ford Tuscan Leather

Raspberry, saffron and rich leather. A bold, intense scent for people who want to be remembered.

Boss Bottled Elixir

Cardamom and frankincense, patchouli, cedar and labdanum. Woody, spicy and very long lasting, a great choice for every day in winter.

How to wear perfume in winter

Spray on your neck and under your collar. Scarves and clothes hold the scent so it lasts longer.
Do not overdo it. Winter fragrances are dense, and two or three sprays are enough.
Moisturise your skin. Perfume fades faster on dry skin, and the cold dries it out.
