Top 10 Perfumes For Autumn 2025

Regular readers and viewers invariably tell me that autumn is when they enjoy pulling out the more baroque scents in their collections: the rich, Mitsouko-esque chypres, the darker florals, the more enveloping woods. That’s fine, but for this year’s autumn Top 10, I was guided by a rather different mood — a desire to seek simple, uncomplicated pleasures. So, in the spirit of being grateful for the blessings which we tend to take for granted, here’s a link to my rundown of the best scents for autumn 2025, followed by the complete list of perfumes I covered, with timestamps: Top 10 perfumes for autumn 2025.
