A perfume that feels heavy at room temperature sits quietly in winter air, and notes that would be too much on a warm day, such as vanilla, rum, tobacco, honey and resins, come across as rounded and comforting. Light citrus and watery notes, by contrast, can feel thin when the air is cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndoors the picture changes, because heated rooms warm the skin again. That is why winter perfumes need a firm structure: a spicy or boozy top with some weight, a heart of wood, tobacco or flowers, and a base of amber, vanilla, benzoin, leather or musk.
