Just as we would swap bare legs for tights and sun dresses for sweaters, it’s time to think about overhauling our perfume collection. While we’ll probably always have a signature scent we wear all year round, there’s no harm in spicing things up with a new addition or two. As winter arrives, here are our top fragrance picks fit for cosier days and nights.
Elie Saab Le Parfum in White
Playing with citrus, patchouli and musk without compromising on femininity, the latest perfume to join the Elie Saab family is a chic fruity floral. A reinvention of Elie Saab’s signature orange blossom and patchouli accord, it has all the potential to be a special occasion scent (the fashion designer specialises in bridal wear after all, and channels the same opulence with his fragrances), but could just as easily be an everyday indulgence. The elegant glass bottle features white and gold accents.

As always there’s an air of flowery freshness about this fragrance, but it’s contrasted by intense oak moss and sweet cherry plum.

Kenzo World Eau de Toilette
The iconic eye-shaped bottle is back, this time in oh-so fashionable light pink! The design alone makes this purchase worth it, but luckily the scent is just as good. The rosy floral combines pear, peony and iris – an intriguing yet refreshing mix.

Kenzo World Eau de Parfum Intense
Revisiting Kenzo’s well-known floral bouquet, the Intense version has a distinctive cosy feel with notes of black plum, peony, jasmine and vanilla. Cooler evenings call for a headier scent than the light notes of summer, and in our eyes this makes for the perfect winter fragrance without any heaviness.

Gucci Bloom Acqua di Fiori
