It can be exotic and exciting; woody and warm; alluring and playful or peaceful and smooth, just to name a few options.

For the advent of winter when nights are cold, our diffuser fragrances can warm a troubled heart or ease an anxious soul!

What Defines A Warm Fragrance?

The mosaic that encompasses fall and winter scents reflect the new chill that has formed in the air and will remain for months to come.

Summer is mourned and gone, replaced by the falling leaves with their glorious hues of crimson and gold that will soon die and fall to the cold, unforgiving ground.

Warm fragrances are rich, warm and comforting. Woody facets are very popular, as they are heavy and capture the true essence of nature.

Other potent elements include: aromatic white musk; dark, erotic patchouli; crisp apple; peachy plum and slightly sugary and dense pear. 

Generally speaking, an Eau de Parfum (EDP) rather than a traditional Eau de Toilette or Eau de Cologne fares better in winter because it has a higher perfume concentration.

This means that it will last longer and remain at the same level of intensity throughout the life of its application.

Remember when selecting a fragrance that will warm a chilly night to go heavier, as light, ethereal scents are more suited to summer and winter body temperatures are generally lower, which means perfumes may seem a bit muted.

Pay close attention also to base notes because they comprise the denser elements any fragrance.

Wintery Warm Fragrances And Skin Type

Dry, oily or a combination of both are the three different human skin types. How a particular fragrance will react on skin is dependent upon a number of factors.

Generally speaking, the more a skin is moisturized, the longer the fragrance will last. The PH level, which is known as hydrolipidic film, renders a supple quality to the skin, and the more it retains this characteristic, the longer the fragrance will hold.

Personal activity is also a consideration, as perfume worn by an active person has a longer duration than on someone with a more sedentary lifestyle. Fragrance can also be influenced by an unstable skin temperature and certain climates.

Age too can be factor, as aging skin dehydrates more quickly, and fragrance will not last as long as it would on younger skin.

How To Choose The Right Right Warm Fragrance

There are many ideas on the subject, but some are more relevant than others.

Some helpful ideas to think about when selecting a fall/ winter fragrance can include:

Seek Perfumes From The Woody, Gourmand, Spicy Or Sensual Categories

These type of fragrances will correspond to colder weather because they cling to heavier clothing like scarves, coats or sweaters.

Some favorite ingredients which render a warm and comforting ambiance are: creamy sandalwood; earthy patchouli; cozy cinnamon, slightly sweet and spicy cardamom, soft, mellow leather; rich, smooth benzoin, dreamy, sweet and sensual honey and coconut-nuanced and sugary tonka bean.

Consider Spicy Elements

Conjuring images of burning wood, deep forests and snow-capped pine trees deep within the mind’s all-seeing eye, woody and earthy fragrances are lush and laden with delightful winter elements.

This category includes: refreshing, spicy bergamot; dark, sensual patchouli; leathery, deep and potent labdanum and dry, green and earthy oak moss. These effects are often paired with citrus aspects.
