Come Winter, and the entire atmosphere changes. The mornings are foggy, cloudy and cold; the afternoons mild and pleasant; and by evenings the mercury dips again. It's a time for sweaters and jackets, outdoor activities like camping and bonfires, and to enjoy long drives and the weather outside. 

In Winter, because one sweats lesser, some people think it's not necessary to wear perfumes. Anything but. Wearing a good perfume is essential whatever the season may be. In fact, with the fall in temperatures, it's the perfect time to wear rich, strong, heavy, woody or smoky fragrances – especially those that are ideal for evenings out, now that you can be out every evening. 

The best selling Winter Fragrances. 

With the arrival of Winter, it's time to put all summery, sweet, fruity perfumes back in your closet. Use the drop in temperatures to test out fragrances that are cold-weather friendly. Experiment with a warm vanilla for instance. Or revel in some spicy peppercorn notes. Perhaps envelop yourself in earthy, leathery hints. 

The reason these fragrance families resonate more during winter is that these scents are simply warmer and cosier in their character. In cold weather, fragrance molecules move slowly and so they do not evaporate from the skin in the same way they do in warmer temperatures. So a heavier fragrance will linger more than a lighter scent during Winter.
