Everyone needs a Gandalf in their life. Or an Athena, or an Atticus Finch. Sadly, such figures aren’t always easy to find, so perhaps that’s why I’ve recently been drawn to the idea of perfumes that somehow convey a sense of ancient wisdom: scents that feel as though they’re filled with sage, timeless authority. That was the loose theme running through my rundown of the Top 10 perfumes for winter 2023, which you can find at this YouTube link: Top 10 best perfumes for winter 2023. Keep scrolling for the complete list of scents I covered, with timestamps.
