Winter/Cold Frags

[Hix]

What are your go to scents for bone-chilling cold weather? My personal favorite so far is Journey Man by Amouage. Tons of cured sweet tobacco leaf, dense lumber, incense and spice, all playing in harmony with each other. It might be even too well blended due to it's linearity, but it's a powerhouse, love this stuff. Masculinity in a bottle.

No scent in particular for the winter or colds months. Anything from my collection works well.

You don't mind the performance issues you get from lighter scents in dry/cold weather?

In winter I go for my favourite comforting ones more often than none in our cold as balls winters here:

- Guerlain's LIDGE: Nothing else needs to be said about this masterpiece.
- Vintage YSL M7
- Hanae Mori HIM EDP: I'm loving it!
- Tom Ford is (are) a master for these: Tobacco Vanille, Noir de Noir, Noir EDP, Men Extreme, Amber Absolute and even Tuscan Leather
- Amouage Jubilation, Epic & Interlude
- Nasomatto Pardon
- Mugler A*Men
- Armani Privé Myrrhe Impériale
- Annick Goutal Sables
- Tauer L'Air du Désert Maroccain
- Carolina Herrera CH For Men
- Valentino Uomo
- Creed Aventus (I don't enjoy it in warmer weather)

Those are the first ones coming to my mind.

A*Men, New Haarlem, and Antaeus are my usual go-to's.
Just got 24 Gold, and haven't worn it much, but can already tell it's too is very well suited to extremely cold weather.

I can't stand cold weather and go for warm comforting and gourmand types. Usually vanilla, amber, coffee, etc. like Jacomo for men, Zino, CdG, Zen, Opium, and the like. I don't like citrus or fresh scents during this time. However there are exceptions if I'm forced due to a particular occasion.
Interesting, I enjoy tobacco scents during warmer weather especially if humid.

[Johnnyacl]

My fragrances are:

Tobacco Vanille
Tuscan Leather
L'Air du Désert Maroccain

[clamnole]

I'd also go for something warm and comforting, and like woody, leather and spicy scents. My favorites on a cold weather day are;
Burberry - London
Guerlain - L'Instant de Guerlain
Dior - Fahrenheit
Caron - Yatagan
L'Occitane - Eau des Baux
Bvlgari - Pour Homme Soir
Chanel - Egoiste

I've been using a lot of my Interlude man during these past few weeks of crap snowy weather on the Eastern coast.

It has been a very cold winter here, consistently -30C for the past few months. I wore lots of the following and found them cut through the cold (even -30C) no problem!

Jaipur Homme EDP
Dior Homme Intense
TM Pure Havane
Hilde Soliani Bell'Antonio
Roja Dove Fetish and Reckless PH Parfum
Kilian A Taste of Heaven

[Ovcharkaowner]

This past winter i went very heavy in usage on my incense collection, with the most wearings going to Rundholz Apr.6.1968 ​and Robert Piguet Casbah just behind.

[Ken_Russell]

Among others: Ungaro III, Rochas Man, Chanel Antaeus, Guerlain Heritage, Knize Ten

[Marais]

Basara by Shiseido and Opium EdP by YSL are very 'warm'. I like spicy scents in cold weather.

Opus VI

[sdotlow]

DHI
New Haarlem
Original Santal
Royal Oud
Guerlain SDV
Killian - Apple Brandy (my favorite!)

Need to get my nose on Interlude, it seems right up my alley. I love citrus, but nothing seems to last in the bitter cold and dryness. Maybe I need to get some extrait de parfum.

I don't experience them so it's not an issue for me.

Do you layer lotion/fragrance, or are you just lucky and/or a bloodhound?

[odioustoilet]

Zino by Davidoff
Memoire by Ricci

[freewheelingvagabond]

Perhaps Pure Havane and Fahrenheit.

I do apply an unscented lotion sometimes during my morning routine, but not always. Just lucky I guess.

[RedRaider430]

I like to wear my assortment of gourmands in the colder weather. They just seem to fit.

[Ingo]

Dior Homme/Intense
YSL L'homme/La Nuit (if it's cooler but not freezing)
Lanvin Avant Garde
Pure Havane
Armani Code

[Hix]

Anything with lots of Oudh or Musk works well for me. I also note in winter when I apply blends with Musk, I feel very warm.

Interesting, I don't have many musk dominant frags, I'll have to explore some... any recs?

[Beck]

Tobacco Vanille, A*Men and flankers, Rive Gauche.

[noFragsleft]

Anything with coffee, vanilla, or incense as major notes does it for me. I find the honey and vanilla in Ambre Narguile to be particularly comforting during our brutal Canadian winters.

[N.CAL Fragrance Reviewer]

The darker, heavier, and potent fragrances are what I spring for during that time of the year.

[Mark_Trail]

1 Million, Lonestar Memories, Oujan, Sartorial and perhaps Old Bourbon
