There’s something about winter that calls for a new scent- something moodier, deeper, and a little more mysterious.
This season, the FNZ team has been spritzing, sniffing, and swooning over a lineup of fragrances that perfectly capture the colder months. Some we already have on high rotation, others are sitting pretty on our wishlist, and a few have come highly recommended by friends of FNZ (because who doesn’t love a scent recommendation from someone with great taste?).
From smoky woods and spicy florals to warm musks and crisp clean notes, these are the perfumes we’re wearing, coveting, and talking about right now.
Byredo Blanche Absolu de Parfum – $441
A more intense take on the iconic “clean-sheet” scent, Blanche Absolu amplifies aldehydic top notes with a richer floral heart and deeper musk. It evokes the intimacy of fresh laundry and warm skin, perfect for those chilly nights when you want to feel cocooned in softness.
Aesop Marrakech Intense Eau de Parfum -$365
A bold, spicy-woody unisex scent that carries you straight to Moroccan spice markets. Opening with clove and cardamom, it softens into jasmine and sandalwood warmth – smoky, rich, and unapologetically vibrant .
