Autumn Fragrances
These are the perfumes you need to know about this season.
Are you on the hunt for a new signature scent? The perfect perfume to match your autumn/winter wardrobe?
This is the time of year when a wave of fine fragrances waft onto beauty counters, potent perfume blends that suit the change of seasons – and there are some real standouts to choose from right now.
Which is the one for you? Here, we run down a selection of the most-hyped women’s designer and luxury scents of 2022…
1. Givenchy Interdit Rouge Eau de Parfum €70 for 35ml
This spicy spin-off of the Givenchy bestseller sees piquant pimento leaf and ginger added to the original tuberose and jasmine-based juice. The lipstick red bottle is a thing of beauty, too.
2. Estee Lauder Sensuous Stars Eau de Parfum €84 for 40ml
Part of a luxury collection created in collaboration with eight different perfumers, Sensuous Stars is the work of Amandine Clerc-Marie, who was inspired by the idea of a moonlight stroll through a plum tree grove. Notes of Chinese plum, creamy orris flower and lavender make for a warming fruity blend.
3. Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum Spray €100 for 50ml
Putting the titular blossom front and centre, the revamped Gorgeous Gardenia is richer than the original eau de toilette, with jasmine, patchouli, pear and a dash of brown sugar giving it added oomph.
4. Moncler Pour Femme Eau de Parfum LED Digital Screen €173 for 150ml
The first-ever women’s fragrance (there’s a men’s edition too) from the uber-cool outerwear brand is housed in an equally covetable bottle. Hooked up to an app, you can programme the scrolling LED display to whatever message you wish. Inside, you’ll find a musky, snow-inspired scent with crisp notes of jasmine and cedarwood.
5. Carolina Herrera Good Girl Superstars Eau De Parfum €92 for 80ml
The latest addition to the Good Girl family, this sparkly stiletto collector’s edition – which contains the much-loved jasmine, tuberose and tonka bean juice – is made for party season.
6. Marc Jacobs Perfect Intense Eau de Parfum Spray €64.80 for 30ml
The follow-up to pale pink Perfect takes the ode to self-acceptance (inspired by Marc Jacob’s ‘I am perfect as I am’ tattoo) in a bold new direction, adding jasmine, roasted almond and sandalwood notes to the warm, comforting mix.
7. Frederic Malle Editions de Parfums Synthetic Jungle €162 for 50ml
Are you looking for a truly distinctive scent? Look no further than Synthetic Jungle, the gorgeously green 1970s-inspired juice in which basil is bolstered with woody and leather notes, plus a bouquet of white florals.
8. Cochine Vanille & Tabac Noir Eau De Parfum €131 for 50ml
Inspired by tropical summer evenings but ideal for winter wear, this beautifully balanced scent combines the sweetness of vanilla with smoky tobacco flower, cardamom and patchouli.
