Citrus in winter

Everytime I see new members of various fragrance communities ask about scent recommendation, many of them metnion: light citrus scents for summer, heavier spicy ones for winter. Every season without fail, many perfume fans put certain scents away in a drawer only to pine after them until the suitable season arrives again.

I must say, I love mini rituals. Taking perfume out, putting them on a tray by my bed, chosing a 'rotation' for the week or month, although I never quite do the picks the perceived seasonality of the scents.

One of my strongest association with Christmas for example are oranges cut up into the mulled wine, orange and lemon peel in cakes and pastries, their sparkling aroma brightening up the chilling atmosphere outside. And while I definitely see merits of fresh, bright scents on a very hot summer day, I would not be without a touch of some oriental vanilla on a cooler evening or a spritz of something spicy when the temperatures don't hit 35 degrees.

I wonder what other people do, do you put away fragrances for the whole season, waiting for an 'appropriate' weather?
