It’s the start of a new season, which means you might be feeling that (almost) imperceptible itch to switch up your day-to-day scents. Naturally as the temperature starts to drop, we crave fragrances that deliver warmth and comfort, reflecting our instinctual hibernation habits in winter.
But don’t scroll away if you’re bored of traditional smoky or woody scents, because there are a whole host of avant-garde new fragrance blends on offer. Here are a few of GRAZIA‘s favourite olfactory odes to winter.
The newest scent from BYREDO blends musk and amber with floral for a spicy, sexy scent that pays homage to Día de los Muertos.

CREED Wind Flowers, $469 SHOP NOW
Light and fresh yet complex, this scent was imagined by master perfumer Olivier Creed to exude the grace and strength of a dancer’s flowing movement, “reminiscent of petals blowing in the wind”. Woody nougat brings gentle depth to an otherwise spring-like scent, making it a year-round favourite.
