As the days of summer give way to a cooler season, autumn begins its slow transformation in the Lake District. As we travel to our stores to replenish the shelves and deliver new products, we notice the rowan berries and wild fruits ripening in the border hedgerows, and the leaves changing colour, turning to yellows, russet, and red. From trees surrounding the lake’s shoreline to the mountain tops covered in bracken and heather, a breathtaking canvas of autumn colour unfolds each and every day.
The scent of autumn pervades the air, and noticeable are the earthy fragrances of the season – rich, deep and evocative. This time of year is when the chypre and fruity fragrance families truly come into their own, offering scents that perfectly capture the essence of autumn. As we embrace this new chapter of the year, let us explore the best autumn perfumes that might complement and heighten our experience of personal fragrance for the season.
