Many people don't know that our body heat is responsible for how long a perfume lasts. Body heat ensures that the perfume spreads better and evaporates faster. This is why light, fresh scents that we normally associate with spring and summer are usually less noticeable when worn in winter.
Winter is therefore perfect for wearing spicy, heavy or sweet scents.

Many people look for warm and cozy scents this season to combat the cold winter . Additionally, many people tend to gravitate toward scents that are reminiscent of winter festivities. These can be sweet, smoky, warm and/or spicy scents that they associate with fires, baked goods, sweet treats or warm, spiced beverages. These scents often evoke certain feelings and emotions associated with this special time.

All this leads to Winter sees an increased use of warm, spicy, sweet and woody notes that are often not present in summer fragrances. This gives perfumers more freedom in creating fragrances, as the cold of winter can erase hard edges, while the stronger notes can also hide certain "imperfections" in the balance of ingredients, resulting in a more diverse range of fragrances.
When creating a fresher, lighter perfume, the balance of ingredients is much more noticeable and therefore more important for the perfumer to consider.
While summer scents are often meant to be refreshing and not overpowering on the skin to balance out the high humidity and heat of summer, winter scents are often richer, more intense and soothing and need not be afraid to envelop the wearer.

The main differences between summer and winter fragrances are therefore the notes , the characteristics – such as refreshing vs. cozy – and the longevity .
Summer fragrances are light, refreshing and often contain citrus or aquatic notes that develop well in the heat but also fade more quickly.
Winter scents are rich and soothing, with notes like amber and wood that linger longer in cold air and provide a cozy, enveloping warmth. These notes are usually found in the base notes, the strongest and longest-lasting section of a fragrance.

If you find that a winter scent doesn't suit you, you can of course still wear a summery perfume. Maybe you have a favorite scent that doesn't fit the classic winter scents, but you can't imagine giving it up during this season?
