6 Best Winter Perfumes for Women in 2023
1. Victor and Rolf Bon Bon EDP
If you are a caramel and candy lover, this angelic scent will uplift your mood throughout the winter. Victor and Rolf Bon Bon EDP are one of those perfumes which keep luring you to smell it again and again. As this perfume has a touch of intense sweetness to itself, I would prefer you to wear it during the daytime. However, you can splash it on yourself whenever you feel like it. No hard and fast rule.
Bonbon Viktor & Rolf opens up with top notes of orange, mandarin orange, and peach. However, it gradually assumes a woody and softer scent. The citrusy scents you would feel initially are overtaken by woody and caramel-sweet liquid.
| Key Notes | Fruity and Woody |
| Average Longevity | 7h |
| Sillage | Moderate |
| Concentration | EDP |
| Price | Fair |
| Projection Longevity | 1-2 h |

This irresistible fragrance- a blend of woody and fruity scents- is a must-have this winter. Women in the UK often choose this masterpiece by Marc Jacobs as it yields powerful feminine energy. Therefore, if you plan to buy this perfume, don’t forget to check its remarkable qualities.
Marc Jacobs Daisy EDT opens up with strong top notes of jasmine, rose, and Italian plum. Middle notes of iris and saffron further enhance the fragrance. Hence, I think it’s safe to say that this seductive and sensual fragrance is for those glamorous ladies who are confident about their looks.

3. Dior Hypnotic Poison EDT
Although this fragrance dates back to the late 1900s, it is still one of the top-selling winter fragrances. It houses deep love in the hearts of not only women but also men. Dior Hypnotic Poison EDT surely does justice to its name by intoxicating everyone around you. All hail to this compliment-getter!
Dior Hypnotic Poison EDT possesses key notes of Plum, Apricot, and Coconut. At the same time, it has middle notes of Jasmine, Brazilian Rosewood, Tuberose, Caraway, and Lily of the Valley. Eventually, the scent dries down to sweet base notes of musk, sandalwood, almond, and vanilla.
This scent is one of my top favorites because it just makes you think of playing with snowballs on a dewy and snowy ( but not crisp) winter evening. Or maybe that perfect night with your loved ones when you isolate yourself from all the hustle-bustle of the day.

4. Tomford Velvet Orchard Eau De Parfum
This perfume from Tomford’s Signature collection is undoubtedly my favorite. Therefore, I did not have to think much before putting it in the list of best winter perfumes for women in the UK. With a floral and oriental touch to itself, Tomford Velvet Orchard EDP will instantly make you the most attractive person in the room. In my opinion, if you wish to look both bold and glamorous at the same time, then, you should add this top-selling winter perfume to your wishlist.
The perfume opens up with top notes of mandarin Orange, honey, bergamot, and rum, warming one’s senses. These are followed by floral and woody notes of orchids, jasmines, some other flowers, and sandalwood.
Typically present in 50 to 100 ml concentrations, Tomford Velvet Orchard EDP has an exquisite bottle, which would look amazing on your dressing table.
| Key Notes | Floral, woody, and spicy |
| Average Longevity | 8+ |
| Sillage | Strong |

5. Yves Saint Laurent Libre Intense EDP
A spritz here, a spritz there, and you are ready for all those chilly nights out! This vanilla fragrance has left me a fan of it ever since I smelt it on someone on a winter evening. Libre Intense EDP came out in 2020. Yves Saint made the EDP version more vanilla-ish rather than adding a very strong concentration of lavender to it. As a result of this contrast from the original version, Libre intense EDP is more suitable for a late-night winter party.
Although the perfume will open up with strong notes of lavender, the top note eventually fades away. Soon, it gives way to warmer and cozier vanilla notes. Base notes of tonka bean and vetiver further enhance the fragrance.
Look at the table below to get a greater understanding of this gorgeous perfume.
| Key Notes | Warm, Sweet, Vanilla-based fragrance |
| Average Longevity | 8+ |
| Sillage | Strong |

The Infinite Sky line-up by Estee Lauder has won the hearts of millions of women worldwide. One can just not list all the different reasons that make this fragrance a top-selling one. With a sleek bottle and a breathtaking smell, this fragrance creates that dreamy aura, which every girl wants from a perfume. Therefore, it won’t be wrong if I say that Estee Lauder Infinite Sky EDP is a scent right out of heaven.
Some important notes of Estee Lauder Infinite Sky EDP include Sichuan pepper, leatherwood, and Madagascar vanilla. Therefore, I believe that this amber spicy fragrance is ideal for wearing on a cool evening when you are trying to look confident and welcoming. Estee Lauder Infinite fills you with joy all of a sudden. Undisputedly, a must-have top-selling fragrance.
