Autumn/Winter Perfumes

Like a lot of people I like to switch up my perfumes for the colder months, picking a heavier almost masculine scent over light floral fragrances. Here's a few of my favourites for the coming chilly months! 

First up is 

Jo Malone 'Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne'

This cologne is part of their intense range and is my personal favourite. It's a warm, aromatic scent that is perfect for the colder months. It is quite strong and may not be for everyone- if you find yourself at a Jo Malone counter you should give this a sniff!

Top note: Black cardamon

Heart note: Black Orchid

Base note: Kyara incense

£105 for 100ml

Yves Saint Laurent 'Black Opium'

If i'm honest I wear this perfume throughout the year as I am completely addicted to it! It's a feminine fragrance; sweet and floral with a heavier edge due to the black coffee top notes. Definitely one of my favourite autumn/winter scents!

Top notes: Black coffee

Heart notes: White floral

Base notes: Vanilla

£44 for 30ml

Zara mens aftershave 'Gold'

Okay, this a bit of a strange one as yes, it is a men's aftershave but it is such a unisex scent! This little gem is quite unique in it's fragrance as it is woody yet has an almost citrus edge to it. Also, it's a great one for chucking in your handbag due to it's dinky size! 

Top note: Fruity calabrian lemon

Heart notes: Praline & ebony

Base note: Patchouli

£5.99 for 30ml

The White Company 'Noir' eau de toilette

I actually discovered this while having a noisy at my mums perfume collection not so long ago. It's a bit of a dupe for Jo Malones Pomegranate Noir and if your on a budget this one from The White

Company is definately worth checking out! It is a floral yet warm and musky scent combining amber, mandarin and sandalwood to create a sophisticated fragrance.

Top note: Amber

Heart note: Mandarin

Bade note: Sandalwood

£30 for 30ml
