Jillian's Favourite Seasonal Fragrances
For many folks, knowing where to begin when choosing a scent for themselves or loved ones can sometimes be confusing. Some people will tell you there are rules to the perfume world, but it's simply not true. Fragrances and Colognes are a playground of self expression and experimentation. A world which encourages you to take a leap into the unknown realm of possibility, to reflect on the senses, and to add a bit of dreaminess to your life, if you dare.
"There are no hard and fast rules about fragrances and what time of year you wear them. Whatever scent speaks to you is worthy of being worn all year round!"
- Jillian, Kent of Inglewood Store Manager
Discovery Kits offer an entire range of fragrances for the usual price of a single fragrance bottle. An easy option to explore your choices and surprise yourself with what you find.
Check out our Persons of Interest Discovery Kit & Mistral Discovery Kit for more info.
A good tip to consider if trying to narrow down your choices for a fragrance is to first consider thinking of a few scenarios you'd like to see yourself wearing it in the world. What is your dream fragrance? What do you want this scent to remind you of and where will this fragrance take you?
The idea of changing your scent to reflect the changing of the seasons is a romantic way of thinking for sure, but one that we find aligns perfectly as a creative prompt when choosing a fragrance.
Does your ideal fragrance transport you to a snowy plain, crunching the earth beneath your feet? The feeling of travelling across a great ice cube thats a drift inside of a cold glass of cognac - A cigar waiting for you behind a log cabin door?
Henri et Victoria are a Canadian brand making some of my favourites - Cognac and Cuban Cigars 50ml is always a top seller and a perfect winter option for myself.
While Winter can be a time of comfort and enjoyment of finer things, what about Spring, Summer, or Fall?
I recently sat down with the Kent of Inglewood Store Manager Jillian and asked her to put together a list of her own favourite seasonal fragrances below that I know you'll enjoy. I hope these fragrances help narrow down your search and maybe even inspire you to try something new this year.
Jillian's Top Winter Fragrance:
Crown - Signature Blend Parfum 100ml
"Winter is for warm spices, sinking into a comfy couch and sipping a drink with friends by the fireplace. In winter I look for scents to fill my space with warmth and comfort. Whether it's the cinnamon and cardamom or a pound cake or the leather and smoke of my Grandparents old rumpus room, I want a winter scent to say "come on in, you're welcome to stay a while."
To find all of Jillian's favourite winter fragrances, we've made this Winter Fragrances Collection just for the lovers of the colder months.
Now, why don't we thaw out and start the year anew? Spring is around the corner and all the beautiful scents that come with it...
Jillian's Top Spring Fragrance:
Mistral - Sandstone Parfum 100ml
"Spring is a time of new growth. Flowers are budding, blades of green grass start poking through the ground and there is a warmth in the breeze. For a spring scent, I look for the light florals of fruit trees, the moisture of a morning dew and the joy of sunny days ahead."

Jillian's Top Summer Fragrance:
Paraphrase - Fruit Thieves 50ml
"Summer is for adventures in the forest, swimming at the beach, patio cocktails and absorbing sun rays. For summer scents, I look for juicy warm notes of stone fruits and a cool green blend of the forest canopy. Everything from fresh cut grass under your picnic blanket to the salt rimmed glass of a margarita."

Jillian's Top Fall Fragrance:
Persons of Interest - Beyond The Pines 50ml
"Fall is a time for warming up by the firepit as the evenings get chilly, cuddling under a wool blanket and hiking through the larch trails of the Rockies. I look for fall scents that make me feel like a warm hug. A pull of fresh tobacco from a pipe, kicking away piles of poplar leaves that have covered the bike paths in the river valley and the golden hour of light on prairie fields at sundown."

Don't forget, our Kent of Inglewood Fragrance Sale is nearly upon us, and will have many of these brands on sale from Feb 1 - 14th. A perfect time to try something new, or get a special gift to create memories with on Valentine's Day!
