From couture vanilla to authoritative woodiness, to a conversational woodsy liqueur: here are three New Arrivals fragrances perfect for facing autumn with style, comfort, and a memorable trail.
Why Trails Change in Autumn (and How to Choose the Right One)
When the air gets cooler, we demand more texture , warmth , and comfort from fragrances. It's not about "going heavy," but about making the trail more three-dimensional : noble woods, resins, spices, and a modern vanilla are the best allies to embrace richer fabrics, indoor spaces, and more intimate rhythms. Here, you'll find three New Arrivals that interpret autumn differently— convivial chic , comfort couture , and intellectual woodiness —so you can confidently choose the one that speaks your language.
1) Convivial-chic: DS & Durga – Cognac Reign
The "liquid baroque" side of autumn: Cognac Reign warms the atmosphere with a caramelized bergamot opening that introduces the cognac heart and an aristocratic veil of orris . The base blends creamy tonka bean and Limousine oak for an elegant and sociable finish, perfect from late afternoon until evening.
- When: Aperitifs, dinners, indoor events; dress code: smart casual or soft jacket.
- How to: 2–4 sprays on moisturized skin; excellent layered with a dry vanilla body lotion.
- Why now: It speaks of conviviality, warmth and class – exactly what we look for this season.
2) Comfort couture: Andy Tauer – Vanilla Absolue
Vanilla that isn't dessert: dark, resinous, sophisticated . Vanilla Absolue fits like a cashmere sweater: it hugs without weighing you down, pampers you, and remains impeccable in any setting. It's the " sweet yet elegant " choice that will make you fall in love in autumn, with a silky, highly skin-pleasing finish.
- When: All day with measured sprays; perfect for the office and relaxing evenings.
- How to: 2–3 pumps; layer with a neutral/milky body cream to enhance the cocoon effect.
- Why now: The refined comfort mood is the #1 request as soon as the temperatures drop.
3) Intellectual woody: Amouage – Opus XVI Timber
Autumn of the mind and libraries: Opus XVI Timber is an authoritative, luminous, and layered woody. Between cypress, cardamom, and Hojari incense, the trail becomes architectural and modern; the base of palo santo , sandalwood , and patchouli builds presence, depth, and gravitas without being powdery.
- When: Meetings, vernissages, elegant dinners; perfect day-to-night with 2–3 sprays.
- How to: 15–20 cm from hot spots; layer with cedar/sandalwood oils for added roundness.
- Why now: A woody status scent, ideal for when jackets and formal environments return.
