14 New Fragrances To Smell Like A Million Bucks
Warm and wonderful, these are the new fragrances that will garner compliments all season long.
There can be overlap, but a winter fragrance isn't necessarily a holiday fragrance. The holidays smell like cinnamon, crackling fireplaces, and fresh cookies. A winter perfume can smell like that—but it's more about the darker, mysterious vibe of the cool-weathered season than smelling exactly like a gingerbread house. And we don't need to tell you that winter extends long past the holidays, too, so your go-to seasonal fragrance should carry you through the first days of spring. Winter fragrances should be warm and sensual, and pack enough of a long-wearing punch that they linger on your favorite sweater. Whether you end up going with a just-out-of-the-oven gourmand scent or prefer the cooler version of a floral favorite, these are the 14 best new fragrances to wear for winter 2020.
1. Heretic Dirty Vanilla Eau de Parfum
Vanilla can often pull too sweet, but not Heretic's "dirtier" take. Amber, musk, sandalwood, and a dash of eye-opening coriander turn this classic on its head.
2. Ellis Brooklyn ISO GAMMA SUPER Eau de Parfum
A cool name for a cool scent, this minimalist fragrance combines cedar, ambergris, and vetiver. It's the woodsier side of winter.
3. Sana Jardin Jaipur Chant Eau de Parfum
Seduction takes centerstage with Jaipur Chant. You'll love this tuberose scent if you naturally gravitate towards florals, but want something deeper and more complex for winter.
