Winter is the time of cozy scarves, fluffy snow and fragrances that warm you up. Perfumes play a special role in this season: they not only complement the image, but also give a feeling of warmth and coziness. In winter, perfumes are great to smell when you come from the cold into a warm room and take off your outerwear. The aroma is felt in your hair, on your clothes, on your skin.
Two cool fragrances — Bright Crystal by Versace and Bal d’Afrique by Byredo — deserve attention as winter perfume favorites. Today I want to tell you about them.
Why are these fragrances suitable for winter?
Bright Crystal with its light frosty notes seems to be created for the cold season. Pomegranate adds an invigorating effect to the composition, like a winter frosty freshness, and peony, magnolia and lotus sound like a gentle, floral accent. The base contains musk, amber and mahogany - this is the warmth and coziness of winter evenings. The bottle itself looks like it is a crystal frozen in the cold.
On the other hand, Bal d’Afrique by Byredo is a special mood in the harsh winter. Woody-oriental notes of bergamot, black currant and jasmine add comfort and coziness to the owner of the fragrance, and vetiver and cedar in the base create a persistent, warm trail, which is especially appropriate in frosty weather.
What is the difference between them?
Bright Crystal is a feminine sensual fragrance that is ideal for those who want to feel light even in the cold season. It is absolutely feminine.
Bal d’Afrique, on the contrary, opens up equally well on both women's and men's skin. It will suit those who love warm, woody and slightly mysterious aromas.
Who are these fragrances for?
Bright Crystal is the perfect choice for romantic natures who choose tenderness and romance.
Bal d’Afrique will appeal to those who value restraint and rigor. This fragrance will suit people with a refined taste, looking for a balance between exoticism and everyday life.
What do they have in common?
- Both compositions have amber and musk in the base, due to which these fragrances are so persistent and sound so warm - ideal qualities for winter fragrances. I adore both musk and amber, that's why I like these fragrances so much.
- Both fragrances contain floral notes (peony, jasmine), which is what feminine natures need.
- Despite the differences, both perfumes create a cozy feeling, as if you are wrapped in a warm blanket.
The choice between Bright Crystal and Bal d’Afrique depends on your mood and task for today.
Do you want lightness on a winter day? Choose Bright Crystal. Do you want to be mysterious and intelligent? Bal d’Afrique will be your ideal companion. But one thing is clear: both fragrances will not only warm you in winter, but also leave an unforgettable trail.
