Best Woody: Diptyque l’au papier eau de toilet

Why is it worth it: People who snuggle up in comfortable chairs and appreciate the cozy atmosphere of opening a good paper book (do not have e-reader) will love Diptyque’s L’Eau Papier eau de Toylete. It smells like a gorgeous library (or rather, how we imagine it smelling) with a blend of white musk and steamed rice. You will also notice tips from mimosa flowers and blonde forests that further enhance the warm woody energy of this perfume.

Tester Feedback: Commerce producer Sarah Hoffman tells Spritz this is her favorite scent before bed (really!). “Diptyque’s L’Eau Papier is a subtle, mu-infused scent that brings me peace of mind before I go to bed,” she says. “I’ve now rewinded the scent of blonde forests, rice steam and mimosa flowers. Even if I feel a little uneasy after a long day, I’m stuck in this scent and quickly settled down.

Best Powder: Chanel 1957 Les Exclusifs de Chanel eau de Parfum

Why is it worth it: The best word to describe Chanel’s 1957 Les Xtrussif de Chanel aux de Parfum is “rich.” That doesn’t mean it’s heavy – this powdery scent is actually quite subtle compared to Chanel’s more concentrated blends – but in its old fashioned vibe, I already find it a staple in many upper yeast cider fragrance collections. Its core notes are white musk. This has all the hazy warmth you want without making mistakes in overwhelming territory for your senses. To amplify this musk scent, Chanel fragrance infuses this aroma blend with hints of iris and neroli flowers, along with a touch of woody cedar, powdery accord, and sweet, syrup-like honey.
