10 Perfumes to Wear All of Sweater Weather Season

Smoky, sultry and infinitely delicious, this fragrance will make you smell like chestnuts roasting on an open fire with subtle notes of melted marshmallows. Or, in simpler terms, a less smoky campfire but in the cozy spice way.

This is not your stereotypical gourmand vanilla, so if you want to smell like a cake pop, this may not be for you. Fusing notes of pink pepper, green vanilla leaves, patchouli and other yummy scents, this perfume boasts a real vanilla, not the overly sweet-synthetic stuff (though there’s a time and place for those, too).

Go light-handed on this stuff because it is ~intense~ in the very literal sense of the word. Like singe-your-nose-hair-off if you overdo it, but in the most pleasant way possible. She’s spicy, deep and a little enigmatic. A person who wears this exudes quiet confidence. This perfume was made for great sillage, featuring notes of cinnamon, incense, sandalwood, patchouli and amber.

Wear this on date night. I repeat, wear this on date night if you want to leave a lasting first impression or make your partner feel the spark of meeting you all over again. The opening smells like sweet, candied berries. As the fragrance sits on your skin for a few hours, it opens into a beautiful, sultry vanilla and sandalwood fragrance.

This is Adele’s signature perfume. That’s it. That is the only information you need on this perfume. Don’t be fooled by the bottle; it’s not the apple fragrance you think it is, but it is undoubtedly edible with notes of vanilla and almond.

Picture this: It’s a cold, rainy day, and you need a warm place to duck into until the weather clears up. You spot a quaint little coffee shop across the street lit up with warm, ambient lighting from the inside. When you run across the road and into the shop, you are immediately blasted with the delicious smell of hot coffee, sticky syrups and the light scent of a patron’s floral perfume. This is precisely what this perfume smells like and what you’ll evoke wearing it.

This is for the absolute spice LOVERS. I’m talking about the kind of person who dumps half a bottle of cinnamon into everything and has clove candles in every corner of the house. Cardamom, ginger and incense come together to create this other-worldly fragrance. Though heads up, this is not a shy fragrance, so only wear it if you want your presence to be announced before you enter any room and to linger after you leave.

Thin Wild Mercury describes this fragrance as “dark, electric and a little bit drunk.” It’s the exact kind of scent you would smell on a groupie from 1969 or backstage at a rock show. Pink pepper, bourbon and amber round this fragrance out to smell like a Manhattan cocktail on a chilly November night. Specific, but try it, and the scenes it evokes will become evident.

If spray perfumes are not your thing, this perfume oil might be a pleasant alternative. As it states in the title, it is straight-up Madagascar vanilla, and it smells unbelievably delicious. The oil stays close to the skin but lasts long, so people only within close proximity to you can detect that you smell like a literal vanilla bean.

Beyoncé wears this, and it smells like cognac and apple pie. Need I say more? Cinnamon, praline, vanilla, tonka bean and the actual note of cognac come together to make this tasty dessert of a fragrance. This is for any and all gourmand lovers who mean gourmand in the sense of smelling edible.
