First of all, if you are actually deciding to change your fragrances for the seasons, then congratulations because you are a savvy fragrance wearer.
You already know how different perfumes should be worn for different seasons and you are looking for the most popular fragrances for winter so that you can call them your own.
For those who are new to the land of fragrance, you should know that typically, winter perfumes tend to be a little more wintery.
You can often get away with heavier fragrances in the cold than you can in the heat because heavy scents in the heat can feel overpowering, but a fragrance that is too light can just disappear in the cold, so winter perfumes are typically much different than their lighter, summery counterparts.
That being said, it seems as if there is an ever-changing top ten list of great seasonal perfumes and the winter fragrances for this season are no different. Ten fragrances can get a little daunting, however, so here is a list of the top three women’s perfumes for winter.
The Shortlist of Quality Winter Perfume
Secret Obsession by Calvin Klein
Is it any wonder that this is a top winter perfume? Calvin Klein has been making sultry, sensuous fragrances since his fragrance line has been launched and this scent is no exception.
Secret Obsession perfume is a spicy oriental fragrance that has warm notes of exotic plum, rose de damas, Egyptian jasmine and orange flower, combined with the spicy notes of spicy orchid, Moroccan cedarwood and smoothed out with cashmere woods and burnt amber that will make you feel sensuous and sexy every time you wear it.
This fragrance is a winter perfume that wears well any time you want to feel sophisticated and grown-up.
Lola Perfume by Marc Jacobs
Lola was launched by Marc Jacobs in the fall of 2009 to rave reviews. Usually, a fragrance has to be out for a little bit to be so popular, but even the price tag isn’t enough to daunt lovers of this scent. A fresh take from the candy scented fragrances of late, Lola perfume has light top notes of pink peppercorn, pear and grapefruit and the fragrance just keeps getting more complex from there.
This perfume is said to be slightly fruity, but with base notes of vanilla, tonka bean and musk it is also thought to be clean and sensual. If you are looking for a different scent that’s one of the top three women’s perfumes for winter, then this might just be what you’re looking for.
The One Perfume by Dolce & Gabbana
If you are interested in one of the top three women’s perfumes for winter that can be worn all season long every time you have an occasion to go out, then this might just be the perfume for you.
This fragrance has been around since 2006, but it is still wildly popular, with a softly feminine heart, surrounded by notes of citrus and peach, combined with a floral body and plum and vanilla add to the spicy base of this delightful perfume. If you are looking for a classic fragrance that is warm and sensuous, then you might want to consider this delightful scent.
You should know that these are just the top three women’s perfumes for winter, but there are dozens more fragrances that wear well for all different seasons, so don’t be afraid to shop a little so you can get the scent that works best for you.
