When a new season rolls around, we normally make some changes to our closet, bedding, décor, and even what we eat (hello, pumpkin everything in fall). We might even change up our beauty looks—I definitely do. In the summer months, I gravitate toward brighter lip colors and bronzy hues. When there's a chill in the air, I love a dark red lipstick and some dramatic eye makeup.
One thing I'm switching up as the winter season makes its presence known is my go-to fragrance. Normally, I go for fresh, citrus-infused, and floral notes for spring and summer, but as the weather gets cooler, I'm looking forward to going all-in on woody, earthy perfumes.
Woody fragrances feel so grounding (it's pretty obvious why) and cozy—two things that are perfect for the wintry season. You kind of smell like a pine tree but, dare I say it, even better. There are so many different combinations of scents that you can find one that works with your fragrance style, whether you gravitate toward the spicier scents or floral, sweeter perfumes.
Take a look at some of the woody perfumes I'm eyeing for my fragrance lineup.

It's a clean fragrance, too, without phthalates, parabens, and sulfates.If you're not into strong fragrances (you know, the type that announces your presence in a room), you'll love this subtle scent. Wear it on its own or layer it with other fragrances. It has notes of cedarwood and ambergris.I mean, what can I say? It wouldn't be a woody, earthy fragrance roundup without Le Labo's cult-favorite Santal 33. The unisex fragrance is scented with violet accord, cardamom, iris, ambrox, cedarwood, leather, and sandalwood.With a name like Super Cedar, you know exactly what you're getting, and that's a woody fragrance that reminds you of the great outdoors. To make it interesting, though, it has floral top notes of rose petals for a unique scent.Oakmoss gives this fragrance its earthy scent, but it's balanced out with fruity davana (a plant) and sweet cherry plum.

It has notes of vetiver, blonde cedarwood, and myrrh, so it's earthy and herby at the same time. Next up, I asked 5 people for their favorite under-$75 fragrance—here's what they said.
