T’is the season of layering! Considering the outside temperature when selecting what fragrance to wear is so important. In winter, “scents don’t evaporate as easily when the weather is dry, so your perfume won’t be noticeable”, says perfumer Rodrigo Flores- Roux.
Although strong amber and heavy floral scents are much preferred in winter, there are ways you can wear your favourite fragrance – whether floral, sweet, spicy or citrusy – and still make an impact. TRU Perfumes shows you how to make the most of your winter fragrance shopping.
Winter skin is dry and so fragrance tends not to last as long. That is why it’s important to start by wearing a fragrance free moisturizer or body lotion. Then:
1.Go for popular base notes that include vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli, and musk.
FOR HER: If the classic No. 5 isn't your jam, with the warm blend of rose and patchouli, Coco Mademoiselle EDP will be.

FOR HIM: Eros by Versace is one cologne that has an interesting take of vanilla and can dominate the nightlife during the colder months of the year.
