7 scents that celebrate the poetic melancholy of autumn

“All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey”
Seasons have a tendency to trigger emotional responses.
The liveliness of summer feels richly potent and exciting. Spring is charged with the inevitable discovery of a fresh new day. And winter’s unyielding cold is reflective, still and restorative.
But there is an inherent poetry to the evocative palette of the crumbling of nature as it transitions into the months of autumn.
Misted landscapes, rain like rich syrup and fallen leaves in russet tones come to mind.
As for the scents of the season? Mellow aromas of ripened plums, crisp, cold mornings, and slow burning bonfires taint the nose.
Remit yourself to an otherworldly incensed haze with these seven scents selected to embrace the elegiac melancholy tied to this time of change.







The weather may be bleak but that doesn’t mean you can’t share the love with a fresh new scent for the season. Here are 8 colognes to buy for him.
