Having spent the majority of summer 2020 indoors, discovering instant mood-boosters, no matter how small, has become important to many of us, and not much triggers happy memories or evokes a moment of joy like fragrance.
This summer, Le Labo, Gucci and Maison Margiela packed perfume with sunny orange blossom, lemon, coconut and more but when the weather turns, suddenly those zippy citrus notes and sweet florals don’t feel quite right. Instead, you might hanker for something warm, cosy and all-encompassing. Well, you’re in luck. From
Aerin to Giorgio Armani, perfume’s latest launches boast everything from leather to vanilla bourbon, making them as comforting as a hot toddy (or a pumpkin spice latte, if that’s more your thing).
Ahead, discover your new autumn signature scent.

Giorgio Armani My Way Eau de Parfum 30ml RefillableThis perfume is refillable, so it already wins points for sustainability.

Atelier Cologne Love Osmanthus Cologne AbsolueLemon is the most discernible note at first, evoking summertime memories, but this fragrance becomes hazy and sultry thanks to osmanthus flower, which radiates black tea and spiced plum.
