The 8 New Fragrances Everyone Will Be Wearing This Winter

Warm and wonderful, these are the new winter fragrances that will garner compliments all season long.

A winter fragrance isn't necessarily a holiday fragrance. The holidays smell like cinnamon, fir, firewood, and fresh cookies. But we don't need to tell you that winter extends long past the holiday season, so your go-to seasonal fragrance should carry you through the first days of spring. Winter fragrances should be warm and sensual, and wear long enough that the scent lingers on your favorite sweater. Whether you love a gourmand like chocolate or vanilla, or you prefer a cooler version of your favorite floral, these are the eight best new fragrances to wear this winter.

1. Mutiny Eau De Parfum

Maison Margiela barneys.com $115.00 SHOP

Tuberose, leather accord, saffron, oud, vanilla: this is a fragrance for people who hate traditional sweet and feminine scents, but still want something easy-to-wear and skin-like.

2. Kayali Vanilla

Huda Beauty sephora.com $118.00 SHOP

If you love vanilla—and we mean really, really love vanilla—this is the one gourmand scent to pick up this winter. It's sweet but not cloying, long-wearing but not overpowering.

3. Her Eau de Parfum

Burberry ulta.com $121.00 SHOP

Burberry Her is fruity at first spritz, but quickly evolves into a warm and spicy scent thanks to jasmine, musk, and amber. 

4. Mercer Street Eau De Parfum

Ouai sephora.com $56.00 SHOP

Have you ever had a shampoo that smelled so good you wished it came in perfume form? Hairstylist Jen Atkin made that a reality with Mercer Street, a clean floral, and one of three perfumes inspired by the sent of her haircare line Ouai.

5. Carat Eau de Parfum

Cartier nordstrom.com $72.00 SHOP

With notes like hyacinth, iris, violet, ylang-ylang, honeysuckle, daffodil, and tulip—you'd think this perfume smells like a flower shop on steroids. It's actually far softer and more delicate, green, and airy, perfect for wearing now through the first days of Spring.

6. Nº5 Eau de Parfum Spray

Chanel nordstrom.com $160.00 SHOP

The scent inside is still the classic Number 5, but the limited edition bottle has been dressed up in Mademoiselle Chanel's favorite color: red. 

7. Dark Papyrus Eau de Parfum

Alexander McQueen saksfifthavenue.com $245.00 SHOP

Notes of papyrus and blackcurrant buds come together to create the most unusual woody fragrance of the year. 

8. Cocoa Woods

NEST sephora.com $27.00 SHOP NOW

Calling all chocoholics: this woody gourmand is like the fanciest, gourmet chocolate bar you've ever had, with notes of bittersweet bocoa, sequoia wood, white sandalwood, tiare blossom, and thai ginger.
