Key notes: ginger, roasted hazelnut, tonka bean

Size: 3.4 fl oz

The vibe: Spice and gingerbread wouldn't exactly be a typical combo, but Jo Malone found a way to give the sweet treat a sexy, mature update. Swirling alongside ginger and vanilla are hints of hazelnut, tonka bean, and cinnamon that veers away from the traditional syrupy, headache-inducing gingerbread scents on the market.

Althar feels like a rich, luxurious version of your favourite seasonal latte.

 Rating: 4.8/5 stars

An ELLE editor says: “I wish I could jump out of my skin and hug myself when I wear Althair. It's sultry and mysterious and feels like snuggling up under a fleece blanket on a colder winter night.”Nerisha Penrose, ELLE.com beauty commerce editor

$250 at Bergdorf Goodman
Pink peppercorn, taf rose, raspberry accord, patchouli, and oakmoss are the main notes.

3.7/5 stars from Fragrantica
"Most of the time, I like my floral scents to smell light and sweet, and my spicier ones to have richer, darker notes," an ELLE editor explains. Moonlight Rose greets me in the centre with a powerful, bright flowery scent that fades into a deeper gourmet pleasure."Penrose, Nerisha
