These Perfumes for November Birthstones Are So You…

Before we dive into November birthstone perfume picks, it’s important to clarify that there are actually two birthstones to choose from — topaz and citrine. While topaz comes in a myriad of colors, citrine, as its name suggests, tends to be in the yellow family. However, they’re both known for their calming energies and their ability to bring good luck and warmth to their wearers. 

In the end, we all have our star sign for one reason: because it matches who we are. Birthstones are no different. Keep reading for your perfume horoscope, or to give your November-born friend the ultimate fragrance gift. 

1. Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan

A mist is a lighter version of a perfume, which makes them a particularly good choice as a perfume for November birthstones. Remember that both topaz and citrine are tied to feelings of calm and warmth. Cashmere Mist embodies both of these traits, and fits the chillier weather that kicks off in November like a warm, soft sweater.

This is an excellent November birthstone perfume whether you’re looking for something to wear during a long day at the office, a night out with your friends in the city, or a toothsome Thanksgiving getaway.

2. Lavender by Woods Of Windsor 

With its warming notes of rosemary, amber, lavender and vanilla, this is a spot-on perfume to match your sign this month. As a November perfume, this is not only birthstone appropriate, but it’s also appropriate for anyone looking for a cold weather scent to wear seven days a week, day to night. It’s also one of the best affordable options you’ll find.

This is a fragrance you can reach for no matter where you’re headed, from a toasty bonfire to a sunny fall day in the park. While it’s not the most long-lasting perfume on the shelf, it’s easy to layer if you’re looking for something to complement your signature scent.

That said, it’s very light but relatively long-lasting, making it as appropriate for the office as it would be for a date night.
