Autumn is the season of intimacy, slowness, and a return to the little things that make us feel good. It's the time when the wind carries the scent of dry leaves, the light softens, and colors take on gold and copper hues. In this evocative setting, perfume becomes an irreplaceable companion: a daily ritual that warms the skin and accompanies our routine with elegance and intensity.

In this article, we'll explore the characteristics of autumnal scents, discover why woods, spices, and gourmand notes are perfect for the cooler months, and guide you through the Fall Collection offerings, with practical advice on how to choose, wear, and layer fragrances in your daily life.

Why are autumn scents different from others?

Perfume is never neutral: it is influenced by the season, the climate and even the fabric of the clothes we wear.

• Summer → fresh, citrusy, ozonated: lightness and brightness.

• Winter → intense, spicy, gourmand: warmth and persistence.

• Autumn → transition : it is the bridge between the two dimensions, where we begin to embrace warmer, more enveloping and deeper notes, without sacrificing balance.

The 3 key characteristics of an autumnal perfume

1. Persistence – woody, resinous or gourmand bases that linger on skin and clothing for a long time.

2. Warmth – spices, vanilla, tobacco, leather: communicate comfort and presence.

3. Depth – layered trails that evolve throughout the day, revealing new nuances.

Woods & Spices: The Heart of Autumn

Woody and spicy notes are the undisputed protagonists of the season: they evoke lit fireplaces, steaming cups, and book pages that smell of paper and ink.

Woods : sandalwood, patchouli, cedar, oud.
They give structure , personality, and hold . They are the “framework” of the fragrance.

Spices : cinnamon, cardamom, pepper, ginger, cloves.
They give dynamism , vibration, elegant energy that warms the short days.

Together , woods and spices create the perfect combination: intensity + comfort , charisma + softness . It is the most recognizable signature of autumn.

Gourmand: the sweetness that pampers

Alongside woods and spices, gourmands take center stage. These fragrances caress the memory: vanilla, caramel, coffee, cream, dried fruit. A sensory journey that speaks of home, care, and pleasure .

Why do they work so well in the fall?

• They evoke emotional memories (pastries, cuddles, family).

• They transmit warmth without being cloying if balanced.

• They create a sensual and enveloping aura, perfect from morning to sunset.

A practical guide: how to choose your autumn perfume

1. Define the role : do you need a signature perfume (Napoli), an intense one for the evening (Ex Voto, Nero Afgano, Casablanca) or a gourmand treat (Malibù, Scent Café, Tabacco & Vaniglia)?

2. Listen to your skin : pH, hydration, and temperature affect performance. Test on your wrist and elbow; wait 20–30 minutes.

3. Consider fabrics : wool and cashmere retain scent; on outerwear and scarves, 1–2 sprays at a distance are enough.

4. Think in “capsules” : 2–3 complementary fragrances cover 90% of occasions (e.g. Naples + Ex Voto + Malibu).

5. Pay attention to the context : office → measured elegance; evening → depth; weekend → comfort.

Autumn Layering: The Art of Layering (Simple and Sensible)

Strat layering allows you to customize your trail by creating new harmonies. Here are some easy (and wow!) combinations:

• Naples Base + Ex Voto Trail
  Result : elegant clarity with a resinous base. Use : from meetings to dinner.
  How to : 1 spray of Naples on the chest, 1 of Ex Voto on the scarf or inside of the coat.

• Malibu + Patchouli
  Result : Enveloping gourmand with earthy depth . Use : Creative afternoons, relaxed evenings.
  How to : Malibu on hot spots; half a spray of Patchouly on sleeves or scarf.

• Scent Café + Tobacco & Vanilla
  Result : café-lounge, warm and persuasive. Use : cocktail bar, literally “second skin”.
  How to : 1 spray Scent Café on the neck; 1 spray Tobacco & Vanilla on the coat.

Golden rule : In autumn , 2–3 sprays in total are enough. The fabric helps project the trail without saturating.

Perfume & Psychology: How It Affects Your Routine

Smell is the sense closest to memory: a scent associated with September can become the emotional anchor of a new beginning.

• Focus : light spicy notes help concentration (Marrakech, Dubai).

• Self-esteem : an elegant woody note communicates competence (Naples, Ex Voto).

• Comfort : balanced gourmands soothe stress and invite closeness (Malibù, Scent Café).

Application tips to maximize persistence and trail

• Moisturize your skin first: dry surfaces disperse the fragrance.

• Hot spots : side of neck, crook of elbow, behind ear (one yes/one no).

• Never rub your wrists: this “breaks” the volatile molecules.

• Outerwear & scarves : Spray once at a distance of 30–40 cm ; test on an inside corner (to be safe) and not on delicate leathers.

• Storage : Away from light and heat; do not store in the bathroom. Consistency protects the integrity of the juice.
