Cooler weather calls for warmer perfumes.
The chill of fall has officially replaced the heat of summer — and with the season’s changes, so do the girlies’ fragrance wardrobes.
Summertime is defined by juicy fruity aromas (like peaches, for one), along with warm floral notes, like honeysuckle and orange blossom. Fall perfumes, on the other hand, are often a bit heavier and cozier — serving as an olfactory representation of wrapping yourself in a chunky knit blanket.
As for specific notes to watch for: Amber is no doubt leading the pack, alongside other faves like vanilla or even the increasingly popular guaiac wood.
“For centuries, the amber scent profile has symbolized beauty and radiance,” Carina Chaz, the founder and nose behind Dedcool’s cult-loved scents, tells Bustle. “[It’s] dynamic, elevated, and warm, [and] adds a layer of sweetness to any composition.”
Being that it pairs so beautifully with just about every other note in a perfumer’s diverse palette, the aroma is entangled in countless compositions on the market (many of which you may already own).
