September 16th, 2022 Posted by Gift Flowers

Even though many of us do not want to say goodbye to summer, it’s a shame autumn does not exactly agree with us. And even though we’re going to miss the heat, the beautiful flowers, the greenery surrounding us during summer and the heat again, there are a couple of things to look forward to this fall. And among these things is what this article is all about; the seasonal scents.

Who can claim not to love the foliage-friendly, breezy and yet moody autumnal fragrances? That’s right – no one. So, if you’re looking to change your summer perfumes to something more autumn-ish, read on to get tips on how to choose the best fragrances, and discover five of the most popular autumn fragrances.

How to choose the right perfumes/fragrance for yourself

• Do Your Own Research

Sourcing for information is vital. Learn about various types of scents, and be familiar with the aromas and notes. Be even more extensive with floral perfumes. Select a scent which you feel okay with. Compare it with your current perfume and try to pinpoint the key notes.

• Identify The Main Ingredient

The main ingredients in perfumes are referred to as the bases or the notes. Each fragrance has a set of key notes. Some can have a woody and earthy base while others could have spicy or floral notes. Identifying the key notes in a fragrance will help you decide if it’s for you or not.

• Test Before Buying

Rather than just buying immediately, spray the perfume on your wrist and smell it before buying. After trying out a couple of scents this way, it’d be easy to pick out the one that’s best for you.

• Consider Your Skin Type

The most essential aspect of picking any fragrance is to consider your skin’s peculiarities and tendencies. Try not to go for stronger scents if you have delicate and sensitive skin as it may lead to allergic reactions. Know your skin before buying a perfume.

What perfumes are good for autumn?

• Chypre Perfumes

Autumn is the best time to wear a chypre fragrance. Its mossy, earthy base screams nature and is perfect on days with cold mornings and bright evenings. Among chypres, fruity chypres are particularly great.

• Woody Perfumes

Typically connected with fall or winter, wood-themed scents are rich, complicated and strong. Whether your favourite fragrances are fruity, floral or fresh flavours, combining them with wood fragrances during fall adds depth to the scent.

• Spicy Perfumes

As spicy fragrances are normally associated with the cooler months, fall is the best time to embrace spicier, stronger scents highlighting notes of cinnamon, dark pepper, clove, and nutmeg.
