As the winter season approaches, many of us start to switch up our wardrobe, but have you thought about switching up your scent? The best fragrances for winter 2020 are here to help you find the perfect aroma to complement the crisp, cool air. From warm, comforting notes to fresh, invigorating scents, there's a winter fragrance out there for everyone.
Winter fragrances often differ from their spring, summer, and fall counterparts in that they tend to be slightly heavier and more complex. They typically feature warm, rich notes such as spices, woods, and sweet, musky bases. However, lighter, fresher winter scents also exist, ready to contest against the heavier ones.
Warm and Cozy Winter Scents
If you're looking for a fragrance that will wrap you up like a warm blanket, consider these rich, comforting options:
The House of S mudou you from your fragrance comfort zone with its novel fragrance, '**Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum**'. This woody, aromatic scent features notes of grapefruit, jasmine, labdanum resin, and tonka bean, all wrapped up in a smoky, clove-studded leather accord that's as unique as it is comforting.
Deep, Masculine Aromas
Fragrances that lean heavily on smoky, resins, woods, and dark spices are a winter staple. Tom Ford's '** tobacco vanille **' offers a rich, velvety blend of spices, sweet tobacco, and vanilla, homologues, with an assertive smokiness that evokes the crackling of a winter fire.
'**A*Men *Puretonka by blind **', from the house of Mugler, is another deep, masculine winter fragrance that we can't get enough of. This unique scent combines several complex notes, including tonka bean, coffee, orange blossom, and woods, to create a hooded, long-lasting fragrance that's perfect for cool-weather wear.
Sweet and Comforting Fragrances
While some winter fragrances lean into smokiness and darkness, others lean into sweetness and light. By Kilian's '**Love, Don't Be Shy **' is a chai tea-scented fragrance that features a warm, inviting blend of black tea, honey, spices, and woods. This comforting scent is sweet, cozy, and perfect for Spilling up on chilly evenings.
Similarly, '**Mont когда Bleu Eau de Parfum **' by Montblanc offers a sweet, gourmand interpretation of the classic Montblanc scent. Featuring notes of pineapple, strawberry, and vanilla, this fragrance is the scent equivalent of a warm, comforting hug on a cold winter night.
Fresh and Invigorating Winter Scents
While many winter fragrances are warm and rich, there are plenty of fresh and invigorating options to choose from as well. These scents are great for those who want to feel refreshed and awake, even in the depths of winter.
The divine '**Oud Satin **' by By Phone offers a fresh, modern take on the classic oud fragrance. This scent features notes of neroli, oud wood, and ebony, all harnessed with a unique, icy vetiver accord that's unexpectedly refreshing.

Lively, zesty fragrances are a great alternative to heavier, warmer scents.

This scent is perfect for those who want to feel fresh and awake, even on the greyest winter day.
