When I was a child, I did not love autumn at all. Autumn meant more time indoors, more homework, and a packed schedule of extracurricular activities. But as I’ve grown older, I started appreciating autumn more and more. I think when you are young, you want to speed through life. As an adult, though, you want to slow down and unwind in a cozy home, surrounded by the warmth of scented candles, sipping some mulled wine, and baking yet another apple pie. And, of course, choosing the perfect perfumes to match the season! Here are a few that I know will be my favorites during the colder months and darker days ahead.
Cuir d'Orient by Sous Le Manteau
If I had to describe this scent in one word, that would be coziness in a bottle. Warm, comforting, yet sensual perfume with suede leather facets. I’d compare it to receiving a hug from a long-term partner—familiar and safe at first, but with a spark of something more exciting just beneath the surface. You never quite know where it might take you.
Old Fashioned by Kilian
I’m sure I’m not the only one who craves stronger drinks during the colder months. What’s better after a long day than a glass of good red wine or whisky? I’ll tell you: a fragrance that smells like an apple dusted with cinnamon and drizzled in brandy or whisky! Some say ‘Old Fashioned’ smells like cheap whisky, but to me, it smells like cozy times at home with the smell of freshly baked apple pie paired with something stronger in your hands ;) I love this deliciously boozy combo; it was love at first sniff!
Eau Duelle by Diptyque
This is hands down, one of the best vanilla-based fragrances I’ve ever encountered. It’s not too sweet, not too spicy—just perfectly balanced. During the colder months, it’s often my go-to scent, especially when I can’t decide what to wear.
La Feuille by Miller Harris
I will be honest, I do not wear this scent very often. I always need a certain mood to wear it. Picture this: a foggy, damp autumn day, the sky a dull gray, trees nearly bare, and the ground covered in fallen leaves. ‘La Feuille,’ which means 'leaf' in French, perfectly captures that scene. There’s nothing floral about it: it’s all about earthy, crisp, damp greenness. This scent is like a coat that you wear between the seasons: this one you wear just before the first snowflakes fall on the damp wet soil.
As the colder months settle in, these fragrances will be my go-to for capturing autumn’s essence. From the warmth of vanilla to the comfort of cinnamon and the crispness of fallen leaves, each scent brings out the season's best.
