Top Spicy Perfumes for Autumn

Writer and expert1 year ago

What are autumn scents?

With the changing of seasons comes the changing of scents – out with the fresh and light, in with the warm and rich. When it comes to autumnal fragrances, it’s all about seasonal spices like vanilla, cinnamon and clove, comforting notes of musk and woody notes like cedar and sandalwood.

Whether you’re looking for a day-to-day perfume or an autumn scent for special occasions, these warming, indulgent fragrances are perfect for chilly weather, cosy nights and lots of layers.

Spicy perfumes

Want to spice up your autumn perfume collection? Look for exactly that – spice. From cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper to patchouli, vanilla and ginger, spicy perfume has an irresistible warmth and cosiness as we creep into the colder months.

When it comes to masculine and spicy, Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Eau de Toilette is top of the list. Packed with fiery chilli and rich saffron, it’ll warm up those wintery nights.

Try Guess Seductive Homme Blue Eau de Toilette for a bold and sexy scent. The dominant spicy and woody notes of citrus caviar, cardamom and black pepper provide a seductive depth ideal for autumn and winter.

DKNY Energizing Eau de Parfum does exactly what it says on the bottle. With spiced poppies, rich fig and sweet pomegranate nectar – it’s an uplifting scent that’s perfect for everyday wear.

Woody scents

If you want to bring something more earthy and warming to your perfume collection, try these much-loved woody fragrances.

For sweeter, floral woody notes, pick up a bottle of Jimmy Choo Illicit Eau de Parfum. It blends ginger, honey and amber with sandalwood and cashmere wood for a touch of feminine warmth. The bottle will look chic on your dressing table, too.

Take a stroll through a fresh, wintery forest with Issey Miyake L’eau D’Issey Wood and Wood – combining cedarwood and sandalwood, its powerful earthy scent is finished with zingy pops of cardamom.

If it’s good enough for Austin Butler, it’s good enough for us. Yves Saint Laurent Myslf Eau de Parfum is Yves Saint Laurent’s first woody floral scent. With layers of textured wood and orange blossom, it’s a lovely blend of light and depth.

Autumn perfume

Refresh your perfume shelf with a classic autumn scent. From date nights to office days, these fall favourites are worth a whiff.

Looking for a serious signature scent? Elie Saab Elixir Eau de Parfum is like a floral bouquet mixed with amber, vanilla and musk – topped off with Italian mandarin and Lebanese neroli. It’s intoxicatingly rich and hard to miss.

The ultimate winter warmer has to be Hugo Boss BOSS Bottled Elixir Parfum. Sophisticated, masculine and bottled with a golden glow – its base of cedarwood combines with notes of incense and cardamom for a rich, vibrant aroma.

Prada Paradoxe Eau de Parfum is delicate yet intense, combining soft jasmine flower with the deeper warmth of amber. Better yet? It is packaged inside a special bottle inspired by the iconic Prada triangle logo.

Last but not least it’s Givenchy Gentleman Eau de Parfum. In a striking black bottle, its woody base is blended with peppery notes and aromatic vanilla for the perfect evening scent.

Autumn candles

If you want your home to smell as good as you, don’t forget to pick up an autumn-scented candle or two.
