Cold Weather Fragrances

**djuna** · 9th December 2006, 10:21 PM

So, the chill is finally upon us... and I'm finding myself longing for something deep and spicy and warm, to carry me through the cold. Lucky me, Parfum Sacre is great for cold weather. I actually find that most of the Carons I've tried are at their best in the cold... I can't think of Aimez Moi without thinking of how sweetly romantic it is when I'm walking through the autumnal chill with my love, and the smoke and civet I originally found off-putting in Narcisse Noir were hypnotic when I went out Christmas shopping in freezing weather.

So, what about you? What fragrances do you find are at their best when the thermometer drops?

Well I'm brand new here and diving headlong into each new smell and it just turned cold on the Carolina Beaches and today I have three answers for everything!: Arabie; Cuir Mauresque and Le Baisir de Dragon

Hope this helps! :bounce:

Yes, Baiser is a wonderful cold-weather scent, even though it itself has some cool touches to it (I find vetiver cool). I go even warmer with opoponax scents and even something like Jicky.

Do not care for heavy, brown orientals, although these would certainly fit into this category.

In addition to those already mentioned, I'd like to add Lolita Lempika and Omnia. The Kiss of the Dragon, I'll wear in any weather because like Paisley mentioned, it does have some cool touches to it.

I really LOVE Angel in cool weather. I've just started wearing it again and love how it wraps around me and comforts me.

My other favorites for cool weather are:
Samsara, Initial, Mauboussin, Trouble,
Euphoria, Allure Sensuelle, Gucci Eau de Parfum,
Présence d'Une Femme, Flowerbomb...
all of them are far better in cool weather for me as opposed to in the heat of the summer.

One of the few thing I enjoy with living in Scandinavia is that we are blessed with cold weather for almost six months a year. That means I can wear my beloved cold-weather-fragrances often! My current favorites are Les Nereides Imperial Opoponax, Vivienne Westwood Anglomania, Creed Angélique Encens and Shiseido Féminité de Bois.

**scentimental** · 10th December 2006, 03:44 AM

I'm new here, but I love many of the scents listed. A few cold weather scents I wear are Aqaba, Cristobal, SL Ambre Sultan, Anne Pliska, Fragonard's Reve Indien...just to name a few!!

Just bought Youth Dew Amber Nude and it has a wonderful "mince pie" top note
on me -ginger, raisins, and ... orange juicy??? Wouldn't use this one when the temp is above 50F.

In this part of the world, winter temperature here rarely falls below 10 degrees celsius (50 Fahrenheit). Thanks to global warming, we are still in the 20s bracket. I'd wish we have cooler temperature so that I can wear something more flamboyant more often i.e. Gucci EdP, Angel, Opium, Hypnotic Poison, Nanadebary Bronze, Bandit... (These are the ones I would wear in winter)

**tigrushka** · 10th December 2006, 07:20 AM

Rich, warm Orientals and Gourmands:
Angel, Ambre Sultan, Arabie, Borneo 1834, Burnt Sugar, Chêne, Chergui, Coco, Dinner by Bobo, Fumerie Turque, Impérial Opoponax, L'Heure Bleue, Loukhoum, Luctor et Emergo, Mauboussin, Nuit de Noël, Sables, Shalimar, Spicy Cocoa, Sublime, Tea for Two, Un Bois Vanille, Vol de Nuit, Wood Coffee...

I don't usually like FdBois in the summer but in winter it's just perfect. I like Cocoon for spraying on the bedsheets on a snowy night, too. SL Chergui is good in winter but I'm in the minority, I love it on a hot sunny day, too.

**musse** · 10th December 2006, 09:25 AM

I see you have Burberry Brit in your wardrobe, this is one of my favourites for winter.

**Margareta** · 10th December 2006, 10:01 AM

You also have SJP Lovely in your wardrobe, djuna. It is another one not yet mentioned who is working very well in cold weather, IMO.

**babygirl** · 24th November 2007, 12:03 PM

Hello..
I'm Baby, I just now registered here, but I have Red Door, Shalimar, Opium that I love to wear around Christmas and when it's cold

**ineespenes** · 24th November 2007, 12:17 PM

I tend to favour spicy and warm scents...just right for colder weather

Some of my winther favourites are Trouble,Le Baiser du dragon,Coco,Shalimar and Opium fleur imperiale(even though it's a summer edition)

**DeeOlive** · 24th November 2007, 12:29 PM

Hi Baby, welcome.

I remember wearing Opium around the holidays

I think Habanita is a great cold weather scent - it is a bit too strong on me when the heat makes it ripen, but for chilly days and nights it seems to stay closer to the skin and radiate warmth.

**rtamara41** · 24th November 2007, 12:41 PM

Le BAISER BAISER BAISER du Dragon, Coco, Farnesiana, Immortelle l'Amour :bounce:

**Frenchie Day** · 24th November 2007, 03:25 PM

Of the ones I own, I like to wear Angel, Samsara, Coco Mademoiselle and Mitsouko in cold weather only.
