Looking for a signature scent? Fragrance is all about you. Nothing feels better than when someone (especially a stranger) compliments your scent. As autumn unfurls and winter whispers at the door, summer’s breezy florals and citrus notes give way to something deeper, richer, and more intimate.
These cooler months invite scents that wrap around you like a cashmere coat. Think smouldering spices, supple leathers, and the familiar warmth of vanilla. Whether worn solo or layered for complexity, the right fragrance doesn’t just complement the season — it defines it.
This season’s standouts are anything but subtle. They evoke dusky evenings, firelit rooms, and the comforting weight of nostalgia, all while inviting curiosity and closeness.
Carolina Herrera – Very Good Girl Elixir
Available 20th April
Notes: Black cherry, almond, rose
This daring reinterpretation of femininity is as bold as it is beautiful. Think ripe cherries, velvet petals, and the quiet intensity of midnight—a scent that lingers like a whispered secret in crisp autumn air.
Rabanne – Olympéa Parfum
Notes: Sage, pink pepper, vanilla, musk
This one wraps you in silken warmth, like candlelight dancing across dark wood. Pink pepper adds a subtle spark, while vanilla and musk soften the edges. Olympéa Parfum is both cosy and captivating—perfect for chilly nights and layered knits.
Aēsop – Hwyl
Notes: Thyme, suede, geranium, vetiver
Rooted in nature, Hwyl transports you to a mist-draped forest at dawn. Earthy, smoky, and quietly powerful, it’s a grounding scent that embraces the introspective spirit of the season. Think weathered wood, wild herbs, and the hush of falling leaves.
Jean Paul Gaultier – Scandal Absolu
Notes: Tuberose, black fig, sandalwood
A decadent blend that captures golden-lit gatherings and honeyed florals. Scandal Absolu is lavish without being overpowering, with black fig lending a moody sweetness that’s balanced by creamy sandalwood. It’s a scent for the spotlight, even when the skies are grey.
