Warm Up With a New Signature Scent This Season

Winter scents are all about comfort and warmth, evoking images of nights by the fire or cuddling up in your favorite chunky knits. Amber, vanilla, tobacco, sandalwood, or patchouli can all provide a sensual foundation for cold-weather fragrances, often accompanied by the warming notes of cardamom, cinnamon, or clove. Spritz your sweaters or scarves to leave the seasonal scent lingering, and breathe it in every time you slide into cozy mode or slip into something seductive and spicy to warm up those cold winter nights out. Pro tip—natural fibers wear fragrance particularly well!
