10 Best Winter Fragrances for Men UK 2024 | Tom Ford, Dior and More

This fragrance is simply divine! Diptyque perfumiers have a knack for making classy, sophisticated fragrances that seem to conjure fond memories of heartaches and adventures we never even had! Tam Dao is a unisex eau de parfum that's strong enough to add a bolt of attitude, even when you're shivering in the snow.

One pump from this handy palm-sized spray bottle will last up to six hours, and is ideal for keeping in your bag or pocket for a second application while you're on the go. Think sandalwood shrines in Indian temples, blended with the lush green leaves from the forests of China. It's bestselling, long-lasting, edgy and chic.  

What we find particularly appealing about this perfume is the sheer volume of woods within the list of aromatic oils used. From the wood of the guaiac tree to the evocative South Asian oud, with the more common cedarwood and sandalwood notes, this scent is rooted in a musky, bark-like intensity, haunted by the heady kick of incense.

It makes a statement without being overpowering. This rustic masculine perfume, which manages to smell both dry and mulchy, will set you back ninety pounds. Luckily, it's a powerful eau de parfum so a minimal spray should disperse maximum scent. 

This mossy, earthy perfume doesn't lean into the classic fragrance notes associated with either of the traditional gender roles, meaning anyone can wear this wood-based, fruit-rich scent without feeling pigeon-holed. It's a medium longevity eau de toilette for under twenty quid; goals.

This is another scent packed with orange, but also contains lighter, more summery notes like watermelon and mint. However, we believe it boasts more than enough hearty, woody base notes including sandalwood and tonka bean, to be warming and reassuring even on frosty mornings.

What stands out about Givenchy's new twist on their classic 'Gentleman' scent has to be the chocolatey mid notes of cocoa, speckled with the tangy top notes of coriander and black pepper. The dark woody base notes of sandalwood and oriental accord give it some extra drama.

The 100 ml spray bottle makes it convenient to douse yourself liberally in this spicy scent, and the high concentration of aromatic oils mean it clings to your skin for hours, fighting against even the frostiest winter air. Givenchy claim this men's fragrance entwines the powerful with the sensitive, the strong with the gentle, and we can't help but agree. 

Some may argue that orange is a summer scent. To those people we want to respectfully remind you of the clementine at the bottom of your stocking. What about a Quality Street Orange Crunch? What about a Christingle? Point proved! This sweet, fruity fragrance draws all the seasons into one bottle, packing all the punch of a slice of candied peel, while getting us excited for the fresh waft of orange trees through our Sardinian hotel window. 

This eau de toilette pairs orange and patchouli with cedar wood, drawing us from the dark winter days into the light. It has a powerful intensity and medium longevity, making its price tag seem fair. 

If myrrh was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for us. Jo Malone fragrances are tough on the budget, but tender on the nostrils, so we have put this sumptuous scent in the lower echelons of our top ten. It's more aspirational than affordable for many of us, but honestly, just knowing something can smell this good is strangely pleasing.

For those who are lucky enough to have more than a hundred quid at their disposal, this unisex eau de cologne is evocative and intoxicating. Combining hand-harvested sap from the myrrh trees of Namibia, it has a proud, dreamlike essence mixed with a nuttier base of almond and tonka bean.

At the more affordable end of the price bracket falls Hugo Boss's 'Bottled Night'. For just over forty pounds you can enjoy 100 ml of this musky men's scent. Its base notes of sandalwood and vanilla perfectly showcase overtones of cardamom, African violet and fragrant jasmine. 

The fragrance won't endure as long as an eau de parfum, but for the price it will still linger for a good few hours. That said, the blend of soft flowers with hot, wet woods is the optimum antidote to the winter blues. 

The height of luxury! We can't get enough of Tom Ford's sensuous tobacco and vanilla eau de parfum! It has a unisex potential that we deem totally divine, and the earthy darkness of tobacco mixed with the wince-inducing sweetness of vanilla are just right for winter.

Made using a high concentrate of aromatic oils, just a couple of pumps will be more than enough to have friends asking what fragrance you're wearing. The extortionate price tag is the biggest drawback, but this dramatic, heady fragrance should last between 5 and 6 hours per application. 

Dior knows what's what when it comes to striking scents. This utterly elegant blend of woods and flowers is totally memorable and gloriously masculine. This highly concentrated eau de parfum has excellent longevity, so will linger with you through the cold and keep you smelling dazzling for hours.

The richness of the iris mid-notes, teamed with the sexy musk of hibiscus and grassy vetiver, settle over dark, resinous cedar wood. This scent is bold, mood-lifting and comes in a spray bottle, making even application as quick as a flick of the wrist. 

According to Armani, the Eau d’Arômes man 'exudes casual elegance'. This playful fragrance hits you first with the light, fresh top notes of fruit, leaves and juicy ginger. The body of the perfume gives a hot, fiery hit and the base notes which linger and woody and dark. 

The inclusion of citrus and lighter notes can brighten a wintry day, but make it less pungent than deeper, more sensuous perfumes. It may not power through cold weather like others on our list, but its warmth and panache are undeniable.
