So the next time you ask yourself “What’s the best perfume for the winter time?” try out some of these choices.
Or maybe you already have your winter favorite? Do share, I’d love to hear about your favorite winter perfumes!
Mmm.. Beyond Paradise from Estee Lauder (right in top photo) is my all time favorite scent.. Besides Escada’s Pacific Paradise (hehe, coincidence that both of my faves have “paradise” in the name!), it’s the only scent I ever wear.
Can someone please explain to me why they no longer make womanswear by alexander julian? I can not understand why they would take the all time best off the markwt.
My all time favorite as got to be Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. It works great for daytime and nighttime wear.
For a guy Gio has got to be the greatest! Not to heavy and not too light. Works great for work and Tommy for men for night.
For a guy the cologne he wears needs to be something that if
you are standing next to him, if just reaches out to you and
calls to you, not drown you in it!
I love all these scents.
Beyond Paradise from Estee Lauder is what I love. I wear it all the rime regardless of the season.

In my opinion all the Gucci parfume are ok!
thank you for these ideas :)
Dear Tyra,
It IS frustrating… :( If only they were substituting those great products with something better, but no… I have no idea why companies do that!
I wear Dior J'adore all the time – summer or winter. It smells just right any season!
I just got the new Mariah Carey perfume for Christmas and it smells pretty good!

Hi, can anyone tell me which is a warm, woodsy smell(not fruity)?
Gilnar,
Are you looking for a warm, woodsy fragrance for women??
Yes Sheila, I am. There was an old perfume called cashmire, if I recall correctly, anyhow, yes woodsy and warm, can you help? Thanks
Hi Gilnar,
I think Woody Oriental is what you are looking for. I personally love Prada, but there are plenty more to choose from. Please take a look at this page, I am sure you’ll find what you are looking for:

Good luck! :)
Hello Olga, some of the listed perfume I have tried and liked so i will probably find something in the sephora list, might give prada a try. Thanks a bunch!
My favorites are Paris Hilton’s ‘Fairy Dust’ (though it doesn’t seem to last all day), and ‘Diamonds’ by Emporio Armani. Though I don’t have that large of a perfume collection.
Stephanie,
Thank you for those suggestions. I wouldn’t try Fairy Dust because I’m biased against Paris enough to not try it but I’ll definitely give Diamonds a shot. :)
