The winter fragrances for 2019 that will make you swoon

​1. Tom Ford Soleil Neige, £164

This is the winter version of Tom Ford’s iconic Soleil Blanc, and he says of it: 'Radiant with winter light, the scent mimics the shimmer of sun on snow.' So what you really need to know is that it smells divine, with top notes of rose, and powdery-dry, warm, musky vanilla base notes, that’s absolutely heavenly to wear. Available at Selfridges and nationwide from 1 November.

​5. Burberry Her Intense at John Lewis, £60

We wrote about Burberry Her, and the face of the fragrance, Cara Delevingne last year – and we’re happy to say an ‘Intense’ version is now on counter too. To make it darker and more alluring, they’ve added lots of benzoin, a tree resin that has an incense-like vanilla aroma.

​6. Gucci Bloom Ambrosia di Fiori, £81

The latest instalment of the Gucci Bloom family is an intensified version, with sweet jasmine bud extract, sultry tuberose and Rangoon creeper, intensified by velvety orris and heady Damascena rose that’s harvested in the early morning. It packs a powerful punch – which is great as drier skin and lower temperatures mean you can go heavier with your fragrance.

​7. Tom Daxon Fuyu at Les Senteurs, £155

This is a superfood of a scent with fruity notes of white peach and Japanese fuyu persimmon mixed with jasmine, iris, soft musks and cedar. It’s in the unisex category and is neither overly feminine or masculine, just a very cool and vibrant scent.

​8. Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de parfum at Harrods, £300

Yes, this is an expensive option, but the intense scent lasts the entire day and is a bold blend of saffron and Grandiflorum jasmine from Egypt, bitter almond and a medley of woods and amber. It’s sultry and dark, but with a slight crystal coolness too that appeals to sophisticated men and women.
