I fancy a new perfume for the winter/Christmas period. And would love to know what you all wear?
I don’t like anything with rose in it. Apart from that I’m open to suggestions. 😊
thank you so much x

I also love Rose, but have to be careful with perfumes because of asthma. I wish Neom would do a perfume version of Complete Bliss body butter (Moroccan blush rose, lime and black pepper) I've managed to successfully recreate the blend in a candle. I've also just ordered an amenity kit by Diptyque which includes their 10ml rose perfume to try.

Slightly embarrassed to admit this, but I do love a Christmas scent. So much so, that I've been spraying M&S Orange, Cinnamon and Clove room spray, then 'wafting' myself through it (anyone who ever watched Miranda will know she used to do this with febreze!)

To be fair, it is in a pleasingly heavy, perfume-esque glass bottle.

4160 Tuesday's Captured by Candlelight is basically the smell of Christmas - brandy-soaked plum pudding, candles and woodsmoke. It's lovely and I wear it every Christmas Day!

Anotherdayanothernight · 14/12/2023 09:35

Miller Harris Rose en Noir is lovely

Sparkletastic · 14/12/2023 09:41

The OP doesn't like anything with a rose note.

Clinique Aromatics Elixir.

Tempnamechng · 14/12/2023 10:20

J'adore for night time, and Lalique for day to day, or Miss Dior daytime weekends at the minute. They are all quite similar (to my nose), warm floral with not to much rose. Hugo Boss Ma Vie is still one of my favourite day time warm perfumes for the winter.

Prettyinred · 14/12/2023 11:59

Thanks everyone! Lots of suggestions ….seems I’ll have to go test them out. What a chore 😂😉

By The Fireplace - Replica by Maison Margiela is my go to winter fragrance. Also partial to Jazz Club, also by Maison Margiela.

IntheSnowySnowyMountains · 14/12/2023 12:29

Jo Malone Orange Bitters is lovely.

Tom Ford Black Orchid, but definitely an evening scent to me.

I know lots of people think figgy scents are summery, but to me they are wintery! I have a sample of Diptyque Philosykos which I love but it's £££ so am using a cheap (but very nice) one that smells pretty much the same.

I had a sample of Jo Loves Plum and leather that was nice (also £££).

Petrine · 14/12/2023 12:29

If you like incense Elizabeth Taylor Passion is fantastic - very Christmassy

Blueberrycreampie · 14/12/2023 12:55

YSL Opium but vintage which I sourced on EBay. Also Chanel Coco, again vintage but I only have a few drops left unfortunately. Would love to find some nice vintage
Poison which is another Christmassy wintery scent I love.
