InStyle's editorial guidelines Updated on December 24, 2020 Pin Share Tweet Email A good perfume is more important than you realize, seeing as your scent is one of the first thing people will notice about you. Most people have their signature scent and they wear it forever, or until the bottle runs dry after years of spritzing. But, 2020 has proven that nothing is impossible — even switching up your signature scent. And just because 2020 really stinks, it doesn't mean you have to! But seeing as fragrance prices don't lend themselves well to regular impulse buys, plus the fact that it simply isn't something most need to buy in excess, it's important to be particular when shopping for perfumes. These 9 New Winter Fragrances Are Guaranteed to Get You Compliments So no matter if you actually just need to restock that signature or you're looking to experiment with a new aroma, we rounded up 13 of the most popular fragrances of 2020 to indulge in now. 01 of 13 Prada Candy Courtesy Buy Now This delectable fragrance features notes of white musks and benzoin, with a warm, mouthwatering caramel finish. You'll certainly be irresistible to suitors when you're wearing this perfume. 02 of 13 Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt Courtesy Buy Now Aromatic wood and minerals meet the ocean breeze for a musky, yet refreshing smell. If this fragrance smells familiar, it's probably because you've smelled it before in a Nordstrom — it's their favorite to diffuse. 03 of 13 Le Labo Rose Courtesy Buy Now This unisex fragrance combines centifolia rose with spicy and woodsy notes of cumin, cedar, and amber for a warm and daring sensual aroma that will leave a little mystery in the air. 04 of 13 Tom Ford Bitter Peach Courtesy Buy Now This sensual scent captures the bitter essence of a peach at peak-ripening. Blood orange and rum-infused davana oils help to create a robust and sexy aroma that will become your new go-to date-night fragrance. 05 of 13 Lancôme Idole Courtesy Buy Now Citrus, jasmine, and rose create a floral yet musky aroma that is touched with vanilla for a fragrance that is both strong and delicate.

The ingredients are consciously sourced and the packaging is eco-friendly so you can smell good without harming the planet. 07 of 13 Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Courtesy Buy Now An oldie but a goodie. The warm, sugary floral scent is recognizable and simply irresistible.

A note of cashmere softens it out for a nice feminine feel. 10 of 13 Glossier You Courtesy Buy Now This light and airy scent has a creamy bottom with fresh top notes like green iris root and sparkling pink pepper to create a sweet cloud that is not too overpowering. 11 of 13 Gucci Guilty Pour Femme Courtesy Buy Now For the latest rendition of Gucci Guilty, the designer brand broke free of the limiting and antiquated act of only using labeled "female notes." In addition to pink pepper and lilac, this classic scent was updated with geranium accord, an fresh ingredient that the brand claims is usually found in men's fragrances but rounds out this warm floral beautifully. 12 of 13 Miss Dior Eau de Toilette Courtesy Buy Now This subtly sweet floral was given a new life with lily of the valley, which adds a light, fresh, clean feeling to the timeless fragrance. 13 of 13 Gucci The Alchemist's Garden Winter's Spring Eau de Parfum Courtesy Buy Now With Gucci Guilty and Gucci Bloom, the designer brand is really on a roll when it comes to crafting cult-classic scents. But if you're really looking to treat yourself this year with a new bottle of perfume, the Alchemist's Garden couldn't be a better choice. The collection includes seven new scents, each centered around its own hero ingredient that tells an intimate story or evokes a memory. Giving you hope for warmer weather ahead, we introduce you to Winter's Spring, a fragrance that combines pepper, musk, and mimosa for a bright, clean, slightly citrus smell that never feels overpowering or unwelcome.
