7 Winter-Ready Fragrances You’ll Be Wild About

There is a time for understatement, in fragrances as in life. But that time is not now. When the weather gets cooler, opt for a strong, musky scent, one with enough heft to ground you through the winter months.

(1/7)

Dolce & Gabbana Intenso

As the name suggests, this scent means business. It’s almost all sandalwood and tobacco, with a few watery lavender top notes for good measure.

$80

Ermenegildo Zegna Essenze Mediterranean Neroli

The Mediterranean character plays large here, with deep bergamot, ginger and vetiver balanced by dark wood and, of course, neroli. Perfect for imagining the weather’s nicer than it is.

$220

Dior Homme Cologne

This update on the classic Dior scent is rich and elegant, despite its inherent darkness. Lime, coriander and grapefruit offset a base of fiery amber and cedar.

$80

BOSS The Scent

This just-launched bottle from Hugo Boss is deceptively simple. Rich base notes of leather mix with brief top notes of ginger and lavender — a little light, a little dark, a whole lot of attraction.

$80

Burberry Brit Rhythm Intense

Another scent with self-proclaimed intensity, also much deserved: think masculine notes of leather and wood, augmented by lighter hints of cumin, black pepper and mint.

$100

Prada Luna Ross Sport

This sporty fragrance is a little lighter than the others — but not by much. There’s some vanilla, some ginger, and a tonic bean base note adds depth.

$75

Issey Miyake Nuit D’Issey

Like a wolf, this fragrance is dark and mysterious. It does its best work at night. And it smells a little like ebony and incense.

$80
