A winter fragrance isn’t necessarily a holiday fragrance. The holidays smell like cinnamon, fir, firewood, and fresh cookies. But we don’t need to tell you that winter extends long past the holiday season, so your go-to seasonal fragrance should carry you through the first days of spring. Winter fragrances should be warm and sensual, and wear long enough that the scent lingers on your favorite sweater. Whether you love a gourmand like chocolate or vanilla, or you prefer a cooler version of your favorite floral, these are the 11 best new fragrances to wear this winter.

How to Pick the Right Cologne/Perfume For You
What’s the Difference Between Cologne/Perfume, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Parfum?
I know, it’s seems super complicated and, to be honest, it doesn’t really need to be. Here’s a top-level breakdown so you know the real difference and can now choose the right fragrance option for you.
What are Top Notes, Base Notes, and Medium Notes?
Top Notes: These are typically lighter scents and what you’ll smell first.
Base Notes: These are typically bolder and stronger scents that you’re left with after applying the cologne.
Medium Notes: These are typically your more fruity notes that combine with your top and bottom notes. It pretty much ties everything together.
Overall, the notes are the notes (if that makes sense), but the overall smell is going to differ person to person and how they truly interact with your own body’s chemistry. The notes are a good overall guide so you know what you’re getting out of the cologne, but don’t be afraid if you see a note that you may not love, it doesn’t mean the entire cologne will smell like that. It’s just how they all work together.
