Fruity & Fresh
The pick: PATCH NYC Bear Eau de Cologne, $47

The profile: Inside hand-painted packaging sits this rich, invigorating mix of fig, cedar, amber wood and honey. It has a bright, fresh snap that somehow isn't too springy.

The atmosphere: You wake up to the unmistakable smell of fresh snow. It's the first whiteout of the year, and the dog is itching to go play in it. You slip on a waterproof jumpsuit, grab the leash and head out for an invigorating afternoon of snow angels and snowball fights, just like you did when you were little.

Subtle & Sweet
The pick: L'Artisan Parfumeur Noir Exquis Eau de Parfum, $165

The profile: Chestnuts, coffee, maple sap and vanilla give this unisex gourmand fragrance burnt dessert vibes. It's sweet and woodsy, but not overpowering.

The atmosphere: A snowstorm brews outside, as you're overcome with the urge to bake. (As in, cookies.) You put on an old Christmas movie and whip our your grandmother's recipe book. Gingerbread rolls, brownies, pecan pies -- you're not leaving the house anytime soon.

Woody & Adventurous
The pick: Arquiste Nanban Eau de Parfum, $190

The profile: Created in the image of a Japanese treasure ship, this highly woody scent features notes of black pepper, saffron, black tea and leather to evoke stimulating, masculine-influenced vibes.

The atmosphere: A ski lodge. You're sipping neat bourbon. An industrial size fire roars before you, melting the snow off your ski boots. It's early to bed tonight so you can hit the slopes tomorrow at sunrise.

Crisp & Playful
The pick: Isabel Toledo Crystal Honey, $52.50

The profile: Grapefruit, pear, green apple and raspberry aim this tropical, fruity fragrance at those who don't want to go the dark route this season.

The atmosphere: Winter vacation. A seaside resort. You're rocking a spray tan and a freshly topped-off margarita. Thoughts of cold weather and responsibilities are far from view.

Bohemian & Mysterious
The pick: Krigler Emeraude Noire 77, $395

The profile: Inspired by a legendary family jewel from Russia, this luxe bottle houses an earthy, floral scent with patchouli as its star note. Think: Flower child meets high society.

The atmosphere: You're wearing a crown of dried flowers, and a Celine bag on your arm. You're in a Lincoln town car on your way to the airport. All you have on you is your passport, a bottle of Kombucha and this perfume. You haven't told anyone from home where you're going -- but they'll figure it out if they need to.
