Autumn Perfumes
Heavy blankets, cashmere socks and spiced biscuits dipped in mugs of hot chocolate are all effective in lifting us out of our impending winter blues. That, and a generous spritz of the best autumn perfumes.
With the arrival of autumn (and as we step into prime time for fragrance launches), let's fresh out of the annual perfume collection clear out. The bottles that got to stay in our autumn rotation had to be long-lasting perfumes, fragrances that smell expensive (even if they aren't), scents that win compliments and, most importantly, possess that sort of joyful comfort that only an autumn perfume can.
Anything heavier than a cologne can feel stifling in the summer heat, but in cooler weather, there's nothing I enjoy more than a cocooning, plush scent. Think sprinklings of delicious cinnamon and cardamom, woody notes that recall long evenings reading in a cabin with a fireplace, and soft musks that sit on skin like a beloved cardigan.
Perfumer Maya Njie agrees. 'I tend to gravitate towards more woody, leathery, musky and spicy notes such as cardamom, vetiver, patchouli and Virginian cedarwood this season,' she tells me. She's also a fan of enigmatic, powdery notes such as iris and violets alongside scents akin to woody forests and green stems. 'I find these notes both energising and comforting which is a plus as the temperatures drop and we layer up.'
She adds: 'Cardamom is special as it warms up as the day goes on. I think nutmeg reminds us of the aromas we smell in nature as autumn is in full swing,' explains Maya, whose go-to fragrance, Nordic Cedar from her namesake brand, is a gorgeous blend of cardamom and musk.
