Woody, spicy, pine, cinnamon and orange scents will very much remind us of the festive season.

It’s a wonderful time of year, full of colour, crisp air and busy shops.
Just walking through woods during the winter months gives a sense of calm and happiness.

Beautiful colours are seen on the leaves during the Autumn, as they lay a thick covering on the ground.
A truly wonderful sight.

Along comes winter and we are transformed into a whole new world of frost on the leaves, ice under foot and everyone is wrapped in winter clothing.

Christmas
Many people all over the world would say that Christmas is their favourite time of year.
Not just for the gifts but for quality time with family and the happiness on children’s faces as they open their gifts.
Everything about Christmas is wonderful.
Having a birthday in December also, means that those of us do feel the magic of Christmas twice.
Along with the scented candles that are in the shops at this time of year, there are also rows and rows of gifts in every shop.
Customers are spoilt for choice with what to purchase for loves ones, friends or work colleagues.
Walking up and down the gift aisles and seeing every shelf rammed full with Christmas colours and wonderful gifts is purely magical .
Many women will write that they would like a new perfume from ‘Santa’ and even men like to open a new aftershave by the tree.
So what fragrances do we search for during winter?

Perfumes for Christmas
When the shops have scented candles on sale during Christmas, they are usually made up of spicy, orange and woody notes.
Winter perfume notes
So when looking for the perfect perfume for a gift or for ourselves to wear during the winter months, we are drawn to the heavy, warm and deep notes.

Such fragrances tend to be more powerful that the light and floral scents that are work through the spring and summer months.
With this is mind, it’s worth noting that the perfumes should be sprayed sparingly as they will be too overwhelming to wear.
They’ll also leave a heavy perume sillage for those around.
A light spray is all that’s needed with a new winter fragrance, so always try samples before a purchase if available.
Fragrances will smell very different on the scent paper in store.
Arriving home to try the new spray only to find that it doesn’t smell the same as in the store, is disappointing.
There are so many winter fragrances to choose from and one to suit men and women.
With the cost of perfume, especially around Christmas time, a good purchase is a must.
Here are some of the most popular fragrances during winter.

Ok so definitely caught my eye. I as a woman love perfume and the different kinds that are out there. In this article you talk about different flavors for the Christmas season. I never thought of that before so thank you. With being said what is your top smell? I agree so many people love Christmas just because of the feelings it gives someone. Thanks for your article.

Thank you. We really are spoilt for choice when it comes to fragrances and it’s great that there are summer and winter scents.
I personally love La Vie Est Belle. It’s a gorgeous sweet and oriental fragrance for all seasons. I would say the top perfume is Alien by Thierry Mugler.
