10 best winter perfumes to wear all season, according to a beauty writer

This is hands down one of my favourite perfumes ever. It's sensual, seductive and a total compliment magnet. It has a distinctly sweet, fruity scent, defined by pear accord and mandarin essence at the top, which are then undercut with black coffee at the heart, and an earthier, woodier feel (with patchouli and white musk) at its base.

This fragrance is a perfect fusion of rose, caramel and saffron, creating a rich and decadent aroma that's impossible to resist. A reviewer said it was their first time trying an oud perfume but said that they love it so much that they wear it for special occasions. Whether it's date night or a day in the office, I promise this perfume will bring in alllll the compliments. Plus, it was spotted in the Love Island villa this year, confirming its must-have status.

For me, this is up there as one of my all-time favourite winter perfume choices thanks to its combination of comforting and sweet scents. It features rich top notes of caramelised vanilla and sea salt, followed by buttery and creamy heart notes that combine toasted macadamia nut and white chocolate for an indulgent, good-enough-to-eat twist. It's rounded off with base notes of tonka bean and coconut blossom, which give it a pleasant, spicy scent.

With citrusy top notes of Italian bergamot and lemon sfuma offset by the floral scents of rose damascena absolute, ivy greens and waterlily, this gives off major winter vibes. Finished off with a subtle warm aroma of amber to stop it being too sweet, this is deffo a fragrance we expect to smell everywhere this winter. It's the most refreshing, unique, pleasant perfume in my collection.

This flirty fragrance offers a refreshing take on florals. Swelling with wild strawberries and warming cedarwood, it will create a playful yet sensual aura with just one spritz. Reviewers say it's perfect for everyday wear, especially with being such an affordable price.

A bold yet grown-up option, this pick is the personification of confidence. With lots of light, floral notes, it serves as an immediate mood booster on dull days. One reviewer took to the comments to say that the perfume surprised them in the best way possible, with great lasting power and a lovely scent.

A soothing scent that smells warm and buttery–like the waft of a dessert baking in the oven. One reviewer said that this amazing perfume smells like butterscotch and toffee with a citrus burst, a great fragrance for autumn and winter. Plus, it clings to your clothing, meaning it will last a little longer without the need to constantly top up.

This perfume boasts a soft and elegant blend of oud, rose and tonka bean, with hints of amber and vanilla adding extra interest. The result is luxurious, soothing and unique. M&S perfumes have been a hit on the high street lately, with a customer commenting that they wanted to wear an alternative to their favourite high-end brand at work, and they've found it in Discover Soft Oud.

Up the ante with this sensual scent. Blending its creamy, vanilla centre with spices, it’s the perfect addition to spruce up your morning routine or to wear out to a cosy dinner. A fan of the trending perfume claimed they didn't usually reach for vanilla scents, but found this fragrance warm and comforting without being overpowering, like being 'wrapped in a blanket with a hot chocolate.'

Developed around notes of primofiore lemon, clarysage oil and tobacco leaf absolute, this ambery fragrance is the perfect kind of indulgent and sensual for your Saturday night out.
