A crisp chill bites the dawn air. The seasons are shifting. Leaves deepen from summer green to golden to crimson, as plants slow their growth ready for dormancy. The natural world prepares to still, to calm, to pause. Fungi emerge from a bed of leaves, and the first frost turns spiderwebs into hanging crystal pendants glistening in the autumn air. Nuts ripen and fall from the trees as root vegetables rise from the soil like deep orange, red and purple gems.
Autumn is here.
There’s a season for everything: and autumn is the season for embracing change and easing into rest. Knitwear emerges from closets, conkers and leaves pile up on the street, and coffee shops serve up pumpkin spice and chai lattes with a cinnamon bun on the side. This is a sensory season: pearls of dew resting on a windowpane, the curl of steam rising from a mug, the warming embrace as you step into your cosy home.
In the world of fragrance, we welcome in depth and comfort. Scents of nuts, spices, trees and sweet ingredients take centre stage this season. If you often seek out sweeter scents, you might find yourself gravitating towards gourmand gems in autumn, like vanilla, chocolate, honey or coffee. If you love something a little more fresh and green, take inspiration from the natural world this season with scents like pine, moss or sandalwood. Craving comforting warmth? Rich, deep base notes like tobacco, leather or musk will help to bring you back down to earth.
Spicy Savoury Blends and Cozy Notes
This season is perfect for playing with spicy blends, nutty notes and woodland inspiration. For autumn 2024, we’re taking inspiration from cosy coffee shops: think pumpkin spice with a swirl of oat milk and chai lattes sprinkled in cinnamon. In celebration of autumn, we’ve hand-selected our favourite fragrances for the season.
- From the Essentials Collection, Cardamom Moss combines a swirl of spices with salty waves of mineral mosses. Like a freshly brewed pumpkin spice latte, the fragrance combines turmeric and ginger with cardamom and cinnamon… all resting on a bed of moss, musk and caramelised tobacco.
