A New Fragrance Makes the Fall Transition Even More Pleasant

Most fragrances strike me as seasonal; as soon as I get a whiff, it’s instinctually clear during which months a particular scent will do its best work, just like most colors or textures lean one way or the other. Transitional months are a little trickier; you need a scent that’s not too sweet for cool evenings but that won’t stink up any space you’re in on warm afternoons.

Below, I’ve picked some of my personal favorites; these scents balance their seasonal notes perfectly. Think of them as the “light sweaters” of the perfume world.
