When temperatures drop and the light softens, our perfume cravings change too. Autumn calls for warmer, more enveloping and more present fragrances than summer freshness. It is the ideal season to bring back woody, amber and gourmand notes that last well and leave a comforting trail.
Key takeaway: in autumn, favour more intense, warmer perfumes: woody, amber, spicy or gourmand. A concentrated extrait is perfect for this season, because it gives off a generous trail and lasts all day. Discover our extraits de parfum concentrated at 30%.
Why change perfume in autumn?
Cold weather changes the way a perfume diffuses: on cooler skin, light notes evaporate faster and seem more discreet. Conversely, rich and warm fragrances unfold beautifully in autumn and winter. Adapting your perfume to the season means enjoying a more harmonious trail and the best longevity.

Heavier woody and amber fragrances often last better than fresh summer notes. Longevity depends mainly on concentration: an extrait will last longer than an eau de toilette.
