Fall Fragrance Trends

Looking to update your fragrance for Fall 2015?  

Seven, the global experts in fragrance (they are to fragrance what Pantone is to color) have reveled the key trends for the Fall 2015 season.

This season it’s all about embracing a more earthy, autumnal edge and unisex fragrances have taken center stage blurring the lines between his and hers.

“This season fragrances should be sophisticated and sensual; drawing inspiration from traditional ingredients from around the world but in a very modern context”.

The three must-have notes include:

  • Oud: returning after a short absence, this note delivers a rich, musty, woody-nutty scent to create a sultry Middle Eastern backdrop to compositions.
  • Rose: making an appearance for the fourth consecutive A/W season, rose is distinguished by its eternal femininity and used to add powdery, fruity or woody notes to a scent.
  • Leather: evident in both masculine and feminine fragrances, a leather note brings smoothness, warmth and even an animalistic direction.

I sniffed my way through the parfum counters to curate a collection of my top picks for Fall 2015 scents.

Ready, set, spritz!
