It's that time of year when we swap mojitos for hot chocolate, coral lipsticks for mauve shades, and sweet or fruity perfumes for options more in tune with the falling leaves and cooler days. Need inspiration? These are the top autumn perfumes for men and women.

How to Find Your Autumn Favourite

Fragrance can be perceived not only with the nose, but with other senses too. Try to close your eyes and imagine what autumn looks like, its colours, what it would be like to touch, what sounds you associate with it... And maybe you’ll find that this time of the year evokes thoughts of the lovely cashmere jumper you wear when sipping a pumpkin spice latte on the terrace of a cottage in the middle of the woods, with the fragrance of moss and wood all around. This is not only a tempting vision, but also a clue to finding the right perfume

Scent yourself with warmth and spices

Autumn with Sex Appeal

Do you want to conjure up a seductive aura with a pinch of mystery around you this autumn? Opt for spicy fragrances. This goes for both sexes! Remember the smell of the most delicious autumn sweets and get inspired. Look for a perfume with notes of cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, nutmeg or cardamon. All this will wrap you in an irresistible, sensual mist. Spicy notes give the fragrance zest and natural warmth, and many of them can even make it last longer

Perfume is supposed to be like your second skin, but you can't tell if it really is just from the description of the fragrance. This is why we can’t imagine online shopping for perfumes without the Try it First service! Along with your chosen bottle, you'll also receive a sample to try first and see if it really is the right perfume for you. If it isn’t, you can simply return the unopened perfume. 

Time for Chypre Fragrances

Daring, intensive, warming, and definitely not for just anyone – meet chypre fragrances. If you do fall under their spell, it will be love for a lifetime. And because of their character, autumn is a great time to get acquainted with them.

Chypre fragrances typically consist of citrus accord, most often bergamot, floral notes such as jasmine or rose, and wood base notes that include oakmoss, patchouli and labdanum. To this, musk, vetiver or ambergris can be added to make an unusual and mysterious composition that won’t let anyone pass you by without noticing.

The Scent of Nature

Your autumn perfume can easily smell like a walk through an autumn landscape full of colourful leaves. All you need to do is turn your thoughts to earthy fragrances which combine notes of moss, grass, woodvetiver or even the roots of various plants. They smell like fresh air and will make your day feel fresh but at the same time very relaxing. And they can help calm you during hectic days. 

Liquid Gold

Is autumn your favourite season? Then you can celebrate it with a drop of luxury and uniqueness which can be found in oud perfumes. Obtaining oud is a very unusual process in itself. When aquilaria trees get attacked by a specific fungus, they start producing resin to defend themselves, and from this, oud – a rare oil with an intense, warm, sweet smell – is obtained. The entire process is not a simple matter, which is also reflected in the price of perfumes containing this ingredient. But once you smell it, you'll know it's worth it.

Echoes of summer days

If you aren’t ready to give up summer yet, you don’t have to. Preserve a piece of sunny days thanks to fragrances which carry fruity and floral notes. Just try to project the atmosphere of the new season into them. The fruit notes in the bottles will come from plums, figs and pears, the flowery accords will be jasmine, orchid or rose. And when you combine them with notes of wood, you get a fresh fragrance to help you ease into autumn.

If you still have no idea which perfume will be yours this autumn, try some Notino Discovery Boxes with selected fragrances. You can try which one suits you best, and then you can get the full-size version.

Whether you're enjoying the sweater weather or you're still pining for the summer days full of sun, the right perfume will make your autumn better, trust us. So come and choose!
