Nevertheless Autumn jogs my memory the whole lot that’s falling aside goes again to floor the place it belongs, and immediately I begin craving earthy smells as probably the most treasured and energetic aromas. Nothing like patchouli embodies each tiny element of this, from black moist soil to crushed leaves and bare timber, and even bugs concerned on this attractive decay. Histoires de Parfums Noir Patchouli smells like Autumn with its dusty, earthy wooden on steroids wrapped in chilly spices. Dipped in boozy rose, this dry debauchery bearing smoky, leathery hints speaks to me of forthcoming chilly evenings ingesting Sirah by the fireside, ready for a brand new spring to come back.

Xerjoff’s Lira Casamorati 1888 is an autumn coat of many colours. Every observe dances a solo efficiency, like a separate leaf swirling within the air earlier than settling to the earth.

Creamy caramel and vanilla consolation me earlier than calling it an evening when Lira wraps me in its pores and skin musk embrace that lingers till daybreak. –Michelyn Camen, Editor in Chief
