Cold air suppresses fragrance, which is why light summer scents can vanish within the hour in winter. This is the season built for the heavy hitters: oud, resins, gourmands, incense and deep woody-ambers that have the strength to project when everything else falls flat. A fragrance that felt loud in spring is often exactly right in January.

Because winter scents tend to be the richest and priciest in a collection, they're the ones most worth trying before you buy. Test a few winter decants through the cold months and see which genuinely last on your skin before investing in a full bottle. Each decant is extracted from a genuine original bottle, in sizes from 1mL to 30mL, and ships across Canada and the USA. See the complete decants in Canada collection.
