SENSUALITY and WARMTH of autumn fragrances for women and men

As the seasons change, so do our sensory desires, much like our skin. This is the perfect time to refresh your "perfume wardrobe." Start by storing your fragrances away from light, particularly niche perfumes that we exclusively offer in eastern France, in Alsace, and that contain a high number of natural ingredients sensitive to light.

Here are some scented tips and recommendations to help you fall in love with the olfactory quintessence...

The selection of perfumes for the autumn season is immense, much to our delight. This is the season to treat your senses with warmer, richer, and sweeter notes such as:

• Amber fragrances with their gourmand trails
• Woody perfumes that add depth to your fragrance
• Spicy perfumes, warm and divine
• Floral-woody perfumes that feature amber or woody facets
• and many more...

For these autumn scents, the application will be different—more intimate and cocooning. While summer called for abundant application of fresh perfumes all over the body, autumn allows for a closer, more intimate relationship with designer perfumes. Focus on applying them to areas where the skin is thinnest and warmest: the wrists, behind the ears, and for women, between the breasts and at the base of the hair at the back of the head.

Will you fall for a rare designer fragrance with its wonderful essences, or choose a traditional favorite?

The goal is to find a nuanced, more enveloping perfume that pairs beautifully with your cozy autumn sweaters...

At Paris Parfums, our team of perfume specialists is here to help you discover this lovely autumn selection.

FOR WOMEN or MEN, whichever you prefer!

• Ambre Imperial by Van Cleef: a cascade of amber notes, enhanced by vanilla, grilled tonka bean, pink peppercorn, and the freshness of bergamot.
• Santo Incienso by The Different Company: a symphony of Palo Santo, a precious wood from South America. The creator was inspired by the scent of wet wood worn out by the heat. A must-try!
• Poivre Impérial by Caron: where peppery notes meet the softness of lotus flower for a surprising trail.
• Fève Tonka by Boucheron: a bewitching, woody-amber trail highlighting a gourmand and slightly sweet facet for our greatest pleasure.
• Vahina by Sylvaine Delacourte: a luminous fragrance, a nectar of fruity, vanilla flowers illuminated by radiant mandarin.
• Baïkal Leather by Nicolaï: a leathery facet built around two dry woody notes, guaiac wood essence, and a saffron-powdered iris note.

These designer perfumes are perfect for both men and women. Indeed, perfume has no gender. Classifications are simply for consumers who like to categorize fragrances. But once you develop a basic knowledge of perfumes, you’ll know to ignore these soulless, rigid categories. Perfume is anything but Cartesian!

For instance, Christian Dior’s Fahrenheit, a fragrance known for its masculine and virile marketing, contains more floral essences than many other men's fragrances. On the contrary, in countries like India, perfumery brands offer men fragrances containing a lot of rose essence.

So, trust only your nose, your sense of smell, and your emotions. The emotion must come from the scented trail. In our perfumeries in Alsace, you won’t find separate sections for men and women. Our selected perfumes are arranged by brand and cater to both women and men.

For those new to the world of perfume, here are a few ideas:

WOMEN'S PERFUMES

• Folie d’un Soir by Goutal: Pink pepper represents the spark that inspired this start, followed by the leather note that will linger throughout the day.
• Shalimar by Guerlain: A mythical, oriental fragrance from the house, celebrating the sweet, sugary scent of vanilla and feminine allure with a hint of forbidden temptation.
• 24 Faubourg by Hermès: A few white flowers paired with deep, sensual vanilla on a base of sandalwood.
• Bois Premier by Jardin de France: The innocent charm of violet leaf and immortelle blends with a powerful heart of cedarwood and tonka bean.
• Féminité du Bois by Serge Lutens: Inspired by warm, honeyed scents, built around the powerful cedarwood of the Atlas Mountains, characterized by cinnamon and a plum note.

MEN'S PERFUMES

• Patchouli Intense by Nicolaï: The base note of sandalwood, amber, and vanilla absolute surrounds this patchouli with a wonderful oriental background.
• L'Homme Idéal by Guerlain: A burning pepper, enchanting tonka bean, and smoky notes create an intriguingly elegant, spicy, woody oriental trail.
• Terre d'Hermès: An eau de parfum that blends the warmth and density of woods with the softness of benzoin and the brightness of shiso.
• Pardon by Nasomatto: A floral woody fragrance with a mandarin and magnolia opening, inviting us into a warm heart of cinnamon. The cedarwood, vanilla, and oud base adds great sensuality.
• Cuir Cuba by Nicolaï: A beautiful interpretation of dried tobacco leaf. Before unveiling its warm and intense trail, it surprises with a fresh licorice opening and the delicate scent of magnolia petals.
