Sweet fragrances

Sweetness is the most divisive dial in perfumery. Done well it reads plush, cozy and huggable; overdone it turns to syrup by lunchtime. This accord covers the candied side of the shelf, sugared amber, praline, soft vanilla, and it skews cold-weather: sugar blooms in crisp air and cloys in heat. It is also the accord most likely to earn compliments at close range, which is why so many date-night picks live here. Le Male layers sweetness over lavender and mint, 1 Million pours it on spiced leather, and Black Opium binds it to coffee. Start with whichever base you already like, then check the season tags before you commit: most sweet scents on this page are happiest from October to March.
