So, if you’re looking for the best party season fragrances, here are a few to give you some inspiration.

Party perfumes for her

Choosing a perfume for the Christmas season can be a tricky decision! With so many, you might want to consider the various fragrance families. You should also think about the time of year and the likelihood that you’ll be wearing the fragrance at night.

For that reason, combinations of floral, oriental and woody perfumes are a perfect choice.

A great example of a party perfume to wear all night is Thierry Mugler Alien. Originally released in 2005, it has been a best-seller ever since. It is a rich floral-woody fragrance, with sambac jasmine, white amber and cashmere. Long-lasting and intense, Alien is also available in a refillable bottle.

For a floral fragrance with an oriental twist, Robert Cavalli is the ultimate choice. An Italian-inspired perfume that is long-lasting, a few spritzes of this can last you throughout the night. Created with pink pepper, African orange flower and vanilla, it is powerful and elegant; the perfect combination for a “going out” perfume.

For a Christmas perfume with a little more extravagance, Tom Ford is your go-to. Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme is seductive and stylish, created with a blend of bergamot, orange blossom, rose, jasmine, vanilla and amber. Tom Ford’s fragrances are well-known for their opulence and long-lasting intensity, so you can guarantee it’ll last into the early hours if necessary!

Party aftershaves for him

Finding the perfect aftershave for a night out is just as important as choosing the right shirt. It’s safe to say most Christmas festivities will be happening in the evening, so look for aftershaves that pack a punch.

With that in mind, Diesel Only The Brave is an ideal choice for the season ahead. Only The Brave is an oriental-woody aftershave with a fresh, leathery aroma. Its explosive cocktail consists of citrus notes like Amalfi lemon and Mandarin orange alongside coriander, violet, amber and leather. Strong and captivating, it is a distinct scent for the Christmas period and beyond.

A spicy undertone is often a popular choice for men’s aftershaves at this time of year, which is why our next suggestion is Issey Miyake Nuit D’Issey. A sharp and crisp scent with a rich base, Nuit D’Issey is a woody-spicy fragrance. It has been created using bergamot and grapefruit top notes, with leather, black pepper and vetiver heart notes. The base notes finish the fragrance with tonka bean, patchouli and ebony.

A classic and favourite men’s aftershave with a mysterious edge is Armani Code. Timeless and sophisticated, Armani Code is created with an elegant blend of bergamot, star anise, olive blossom, leather and tobacco. An incredibly masculine scent, it’s been a popular choice since its release in 2004.
