10 Winter Perfumes to truly impress people around you

If you want to truly impress people around you, you should carefully choose your scents according to the season you are wearing them in.

Choosing the right perfume for you, that personal scent that will distinguish you from the others and make you feel special and unique is not a simple job. Except for your personal taste, of course, there are several other things to consider, as well when choosing a perfume.

Season is one of them. You probably know that temperature has a big impact on the way a perfume is perceived. Hot weather, for example, intensifies the fragrance notes, while cold weather makes it more difficult for them to evaporate. This makes it very important for you to make the right decision when choosing a perfume to wear in the different seasons.

Winter is that time of the year that you either love or hate. No matter which type you are, you should know that winter is perfumes' most favorite season. Why? Because the cold temperatures give all those delicate and sophisticated notes the necessary time they need in order to fully express themselves. The lack of colors and activities, on the other hand, let fragrances get the place they deserve as your olfaction is not distracted by the outside smells and can be concentrated on the fabulous exotic oriental scents that are both strong and warm. The best winter perfume notes are vanilla, cinnamon, incense, amber, spices, etc.

I'm typically opposed to seasonal beauty trends. Like, please feel free to wear whatever the hell you want regardless of the day, month, or time of year. That said, I do have one exception (hence why I said typically...), and that's when it comes to fragrance. Switching up your signature scent with each season is always a good idea, IMO, because scents are specifically formulated to evoke a certain "mood"—and maybe you don't want to smell like a tropical beach party in the middle of December. Which is why I've rounded up these 10 best winter perfumes for you to start spraying ASAP. There's an option for every perfume preference—warm, fruity, floral, earthy, spicy—you name it.

1- This soft floral winter perfume

Tom Ford Métallique Eau de Parfum

White florals typically feel spring-like, but when you combine them with a little bit of cozy vanilla and warm sandalwood? You've got the perfect winter fragrance. (P.S. this bb is a Cosmo fragrance awards winner—we love it that much!)

2- This spicy floral winter perfume

Hermès Twilly d'Hermès Eau Poivrée

Untie the ribbon (it's inspired by those fancy Hermès scarves) from the neck of the bottle, spritz it with the perfume, and tie it around your wrist. You'll be able to smell the notes of rose, berry, and peppercorn every time you move your hand.

3- These winter perfume stickers

Diptyque Do Son Perfumed Stickers

If you have sensitive skin that's easily irritated by spraying on perfume, try these scented stickers from Diptyque instead. The black, satin material is infused with a subtle blend of tuberose, jasmine, and orange blossom that smells so pretty for winter.

4- This aquatic winter perfume

Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne

Proof that watery, marine-inspired perfumes aren't just for summer: this blend of wood sage and sea salt. It's fresh, airy, and reminds me of the ocean, which is the perfect winter perfume for when you've been cooped up insides for months.

5- This sunny winter perfume

Giorgio Armani Light di Gioia Eau de Parfum

Let's face it, winter weather can be depressing as hell. But don't worry—a few spritzes of this jasmine and gardenia perfume transports you to golden hour in the Mediterranean, even when it's dark, cold, and the middle of January.

6- This woody floral winter perfume

Tiffany & Love Eau de Parfum for Her

The contrast between floral neroli and blue sequoia in this winter perfume is totally addictive. Not to mention the bottle is insanely gorgeous/chic. There's also a matching fragrance for your boo (Tiffany and Love for him) if you're into that kinda thing.

7- This smoky winter perfume

Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace

Pink pepper, clove oil, cashmere, and chestnut accords in this winter perfume come together to create a warm and familiar smokiness that leaves you feeling like you're nestled next to a fireplace (thus the very fitting name) even if you're nowhere near one.

8- This sweet winter perfume

Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensée Cologne Absolue

If you like your fragrance to smell like dessert, then this vanilla-infused winter perfume is for you. The sweet vanilla combined with warm jasmine and vanilla is beyond delicious.

9- This earthy winter perfume

Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur Eau de Parfum

For me, the perfect winter perfume has a woodsy, earthy vibe, which is why I love this one from Gucci. The notes of chamomile, jasmine, and vanilla smell ultra-soothing and remind me of being outside.

10- This ~sexy~ winter perfume

Eau de Juice Extra Concentrated Eau de Parfum

Okay, I may be a liiiiittle bit biased, but this super sexy scent from Cosmo's new Eau de Juice collection is the winter perfume you need in your life. The amber, patchouli, and champagne notes smells totally extra in the best way possible.
