With the new season on the calendar, we all seek small incentives to start the routine with energy. Some have already refreshed their wardrobe with capsule wardrobe basics that pay homage to a more sophisticated style, others have cut their hair (because new year, new mane), and others have opted for a new autumn perfume.
Behind are the fresher and softer trails that reminded us of sun, the beach and the scent of sea air. The autumn invites us to dare with deeper, more magnetic compositions with a hint of mystery that fits perfectly with the presence of shorter days and colder temperatures.
That said, the range of options is fairly wide and varied. Among the novelties, you’ll find everything from neogourmand proposals that advocate for a creamy, sweet and not cloying result, to others that are more interesting and combine the best of both worlds.
Five Irresistible New Autumn Perfumes
Ex Nihilo Demon Dancer Eau de Parfum.

If you’re looking for an autumn perfume that moves away from the more predictable gourmands, its sharp, fresh, and lightly provocative opening dives into a heart of orange blossom and black currant, before settling on abstract woods, musk, tonka bean, and Ambrofix. It has the best of both worlds: citrusy and fruity on one side, and warm and enveloping on the other. You can find it at the Isolée corner in El Corte Inglés.
Guerlain L’Heure Bleue.

I like it because it has a melancholic and elegant atmosphere that feels inviting when days begin to shorten. Inspired by that moment between light and darkness known as the ‘blue hour’, it combines a floral and amber facet with a soft, enveloping and almost powdery sensation. It is romantic, velvety, and with an irresistible mysterious edge.
Le Monde Gourmand Pumpkin Crème.

Smells like the favorite drink of Gilmore Girls fans at this time of year. The outcome is sweet and comforting, yet quite soft, so you can wear it comfortably. That said, it’s not for everyone, so I would only recommend it if you’re after a cozy, creamy, and deliciously spiced perfume.
Miss Dior Eau de Parfum.

The new interpretation of Miss Dior Eau de Parfum takes its emblematic floral universe into a much warmer and more inviting terrain for the cold months. The star remains the Centifolia rose, with its honeyed and slightly spiced nuances, but this time it is surrounded by notes that bring much more creaminess. It is feminine and modern, but it does not abandon its floral side, and that is why it fascinates.
Valentino Vendetta Donna Eau de Parfum.

Finally, this perfume offers a noticeably more intense autumn. Its floral, gourmand and woody composition starts from a very attractive contrast between the voluptuous character of narcissus and a juicy note of blood orange nectar, which introduces brightness and a fruity touch without detracting from its sensuality.
As it evolves, its enveloping woods provide depth and a creamier texture, leaving a warm and magnetic trail. In comparison to sweeter and more comforting autumn perfumes, this one has a bolder, nocturnal personality.
