Introduction
As the leaves change color and the air turns crisp, your perfume should also evolve to reflect the season. Fall brings a sense of warmth and coziness, which should be mirrored in your fragrance choices. But how do you select the perfect scent for this time of year? Let us walk you through it!Should You Change Your Perfume with the Seasons?
Of course, perfume should be changed with seasons, just as one would change clothes. Perfumes are sensitive to weather and surroundings. So, some perfumes might be best suited for a particular season. In summer, light and fresh notes are usually appropriate to smells, such as citrus, floral scents, or aquatic perfumes. In autumn, cooler air permits deeper, richer fragrances like spicy, woody, or gourmand notes.Such stronger scents linger longer in colder temperatures and pair even better with the warm, close atmosphere of fall. Fragrance molecules diffuse differently with the temperature: in warm weather, lighter notes come out; in cool weather, the absorption rate reduces through the skin, and this means that heavier scents, like amber, patchouli, or vanilla, are longer-lasting and will warm you up comfortably.
That's how you might choose to adjust the perfume for the season: this might enrich your overall sensory experience because it matches mood change - bright and energetic to warm and cozy - as well as the changes to the climate and the rhythm of life.
Which Notes for Fall?
A fragrance that should define this fall season is one representing richness and warmth that complements the cozy atmosphere of the season. Here's a breakdown of the best types of fragrances to be smelled in this fall season:* Spicy Fragrances
The warm spices offer a cozy feel by way of cinnamon, pepper, and clove. These aromatic notes recall the pleasures of drinking mugfuls of hot drinks beside a fire, thus fitting scents for autumn's cooler days. Spicy fragrances tend to project an athletic, exotic kind of appeal in this season.Key Suggestion: We recommend you to try Montale Paris Spicy Aoud Eau De Parfum.
* Woody Scents
Woody fragrances-scented by cedarwood, sandalwood, and vetiver, among others-are great for crisp air, cool temperatures and autumn. These scents smell earthy and richly grounding, with an essence of natural season change. A wood scent is perfect for a fall afternoon romp through the fallen leaves, for its dry, smoky bottom note.* Gourmand Perfumes
Gourmand fragrances are deliciously appealing for fall, especially with edible notes, like vanilla and caramel. Gourmand fragrances in sweet, rich, and creamy scents evoke a warm, inviting, and comforting atmosphere. It makes you reminisce about nights spent cozied up with baked goods or a caramel latte on a chilly fall evening. These engulf warmth and can create a sophisticated sense of indulgence as the temperatures drop.* Amber and Musk
Rich, sensuous notes of amber and musk create a warm, cozy feel for fall fragrances. They wear close to the skin, providing a subtle, long-lasting fragrance, perfect for chilly weather. It's as though they infused mystery and allure of darkness into an approach that would give depth to a profile for evening soirees or quiet nights by the fire.Key Suggestion: We recommend you to try knowing eau de parfum!
Choose a scent for fall that you think speaks to those notes, as autumn smells are complex and varied but be sure to include a few characters who make a big impact. So, whether it's the spicy warmth of cinnamon, the earthy richness of cedarwood, or the sweet indulgence of vanilla, fall is the perfect season to deepen your use of more complex smells that complement the season's cozy charm.
