Better cold weather scent...

post #1 of 18

Thread Starter 
Right now the only scent I have that I consider a true cold weather fragrance is Lancome Hypnose Homme. I'm looking to buy one new cold weather scent and right now the top two I'm looking at are Gucci Pour Homme or La Nuit de L'homme. Which would you guys choose?

Or should there be something else that I should be looking at?

Well, that depends on your personal taste. Gucci PH can work nicely during the spring & fall as well. It's quite versatile. La Nuit de L'homme is a bit boring IMO. My best suggestion would be trying a variety of samples which are a bit outside your comfort zone, as this is where I often find some truly fantastic fragrances.

I second most of the previous suggestions on this thread, especially Burberry London.

If, however, there has to be some other cold weather fragrance, other than the ones already mentioned, I'd consider suggesting Chanel Antaeus, Cartier Declaration or Rochas Man.

I really do favorite Azzaro PH as a great winter scent. For me, once this cologne is applied I get beautiful Jasmine and floral blooms. Accorded by extremely mild spices and a distinguished note of leather. I do advise this frag to alot of people.

Cheers and take care!

There are some bottles of Pure Malt on ebay for 50 bucks buy it now.
Apparently there are still some sellers who are unselfish.

Never mind...they are already gone...betcha the buyers will have them listed next week for 120.

Personally I liked the sweeter boozier scents for winter. In that sense, Burberry London is one of my faves right now. Also Versace Dreamer, reminds me of a nice warm set of bed sheets taken straight from the dryer. Seems boring, but it's very nice and quite "warm".

Gucci PH is great. I've been on a Dirty English rave lately, a nice one. Michael Kors or Burberry London are also good.

From your two choices - Gucci Pour Homme without a doubt. Burberry London is a good suggestion. When I did a "citrus purge" from my wardrobe a while ago I got rid of many lighter, warmer weather fragrances... so this past summer I was really struggling to find a SUMMER fragrance.

If you want to go for something really quite opulent and enjoyable for the cold weather... L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme (EdP).
