If Your Favorite Wine Is Sherry
You'll love: Malin+Goetz Dark Rum Eau de Parfum, $165 (3.4 oz.) Buy Now

Why: Sherry, a fortified wine, has a stronger alcohol content than most wine varietals and has "caramel, nut and resin notes," Copeland says. True sherry fans are drawn to rich, intense flavors and fragrances. Malin+Goetz's unisex fragrance has notes of rum, leather, amber and patchouli; it's a warm, lush and (natch) boozy gourmand.

Pair it with: Emilio Lustau Peninsula Palo Cortado Sherry, $25

If Your Favorite Wine Is Nebbiolo
You'll love: Jo Malone English Oak & Redcurrant, $135 (3.4 oz.) Buy Now

Why: With rose and cassis, Jo Malone's romantic fragrance is reminiscent of a Langhe Nebbiolo, a full-bodied Italian wine, Copeland says. Ripe top notes of redcurrant berries and green mandarin gives way to a heart of rose and earthy base notes of roasted oak and musk.

Pair it with: Bruno Rocca Fralu Nebbiolo Langhe, $21

If Your Favorite Wine Is Rosé
You'll love: Carlen Parfums Aztec Noir Eau de Parfum, $190 (3.4 oz.) Buy Now

Why: The smoky woods, amber and touch of grapefruit in this sophisticated perfume remind Copeland of a classic Provence rosé. "The woods are so fragrant and then there's some spice and citrus," she says. "It makes me think of rosé with a beautiful nose but a crisp, fresh finish -- something cool and refreshing for all that depth of aroma."

Pair it with: Chateau Routas Coteaux Varois Rosé, $13; Vivanco Tempranillo-Garnacha Rosé, $13
