3. Maison Margiela Replica By The Fireplace – Chestnut & Vanilla
This one smells like winter mornings wrapped in a blanket. With toasted chestnut, smoky wood and soft vanilla, it’s comforting but not overly sweet. Think of it as the scent version of that perfect first sip of hot cocoa by a fireside.
4. Aquolina Pink Sugar – Cotton Candy & Caramel
This perfume is bold, sugary and totally unapologetic. Pink Sugar brings a playful, girly energy with hints of caramel, licorice and vanilla. Some might call it over-the-top, but if you love a little drama (and a lot of sweetness), this one delivers.
5. Tom Ford Lost Cherry – Black Cherry & Almond
Decadent is the only way to describe this scent. Lost Cherry layers cherry with bitter almond in a way that’s rich and unexpected. Add in some spice and a hint of floral, and you’ve got a perfume that feels bold and luxurious in the best way possible.
