How To Choose A Fall Fragrance
As the wind begins to blow and the leaves start falling from the trees, you will need to think about bringing some warmer, richer notes into your fragrance.
Woody accords like cedar, sandalwood, and amber are all excellent choices for the best autumn colognes for men. Combine these with earthy notes like lavender and patchouli and you create something truly masculine and invigorating.
However, just because summer has passed, it doesn’t mean that combining fruity or floral notes should be out the window. Some of the best fall fragrances for men open with fresher notes before drying down to something more intense.
Your autumn cologne should ignite images of woolen sweaters, crunchy leaves underfoot, and sipping warm drinks by the fire. These are cozy fragrances, ones that make you feel comforted, but they should also be diverse.
When the weather turns colder, it can be more difficult for your fragrance to project. This is because perfume needs heat to spread. Of course, at this time of year, you are much cooler and this can make summer fragrances difficult to smell.
For this reason, those stronger and more intense notes are essential. It is a good idea to look for fragrances that typically have better longevity and sillage. This is especially important if you are looking for something dramatic and that will get you noticed.
In Conclusion
Summer is nothing but a distant memory and the image of pumpkins, orange leaves, and hot chocolate begins filling everybody’s minds. To match this cozy and comforting notion, it is a great idea to find a scent to match.
Some of the best men’s fragrances for fall contain heady notes that are spicy and warm. They also offer a greater aura than their summer counterparts and will easily project on cool skin.
There is no doubt that there are plenty to choose from, which one is your favorite?
