Embracing the Season: Best Scent Pairings for Crisp Autumn Days

As we start to watch the leaves fall and feel the cooler air in the mornings, it’s only natural for the rest of our senses to search for a little comfort.

A typical Aussie Autumn invites us to indulge in a slightly slower pace of life, cosy layers, and little ways to make the everyday just a bit special. It’s the perfect time to rotate your wardrobe and switch out your go-to fragrances for the season.

Autumn perfumes in Australia should evoke grounding notes with a spicy layer of warmth, and a little bit of quiet luxury to make every single day special.

Here at Scent Life, we are big believers in perfume being so much more than just a scent. Perfume should be an experience. That is why we’ve carefully curated a collection for this seasonal perfume guide featuring tea-inspired fragrances to keep your spirits up even on the coldest mornings.

Why Should You Choose Tea-Inspired Fragrances?

There’s nothing more timeless than tea so we think it is the ideal ingredient to bring into the world of fragrance. Nothing captures the delicate balance between humans and nature quite like the relationship we have with tea.

Not only that, but tea has such a huge range of delightful fragrances for all occasions that it’s only natural that we wanted to be inspired by them. From the light and zesty notes of Earl Grey to the deep, warming tones of chai, we believe tea-inspired fragrances are for everyone!

Tea Time for Tranquillity with Tea in the Woods

Autumn really was made for those quiet, peaceful moments you can enjoy with a fresh cup of hot tea. It is moments like these that inspired us to create the stunning fragrance, Tea in the Woods.

With touches of tangerine, cardamom, clove bud, mahogany, and floral notes with patchouli, musky vanilla, and a little touch of tobacco, Tea in the Woods is a glorious fragrant journey designed to transport you to a moment of peace with every use.

Autumn Indulgence with Chai Dreams

It wouldn’t be Autumn without mentioning Chai Dreams! At our sister company, Tea Life, Chai Dreams was one of our first ever chai blends, so it only felt right to honour that with a deliciously spicy, warming perfume.

For those of you seeking a warm winter perfume, Chai Dreams wears beautifully both during the day and the night, adding a hint of spicy passion to every step you take.

Autumn Magic with Manuka Memories

If you’re looking to move away from earthy scents and towards something with a hint of sweetness, Manuka Memories might be just what you’re looking for!

Manuka Memories is one of our best scents for Autumn if you cherish those golden, sunny afternoons that have a slight flavour of summer leftover from the previous season. With notes of golden honey, rich brown sugar, creamy vanilla, and authentic Manuka, this fragrance is ideal for enjoying the sunset at the beach.

Autumn Sensuality with Amber Saffron

If you’re seeking Autumn perfumes in Australia that are a little bit sophisticated and elegant, then you must try Amber Saffron. Dance with notes of saffron, Green Tea Jasmine, amberwood, ambergris, fir resin and amber as you enjoy a classy and luxurious fragrance ideal for dusk onwards.

We find Amber Saffron to be an incredible choice for date nights, late nights, and those times you just want to feel like the best version of yourself.

Soft and Sweet with Vanilla Breeze

Always a classic, Vanilla Breeze is a great base for fragrance layering, and to bring it into the depths of Autumn we like to pair it with a spicy spritz of Chai Dreams.

With top notes of crisp apple and smooth cream, heart notes of refreshing bergamot and sensual musk, and base notes of warm vanilla and bright citrus, it’s easy to see why Vanilla Breeze should be your go to base for layering this Autumn.

Fragrance Layering FAQS

What is the best way to layer perfume?

A good guide to follow when layering scents is to begin with your heaviest fragrances before moving into your lighter fragrances in order to avoid scents getting muddled.

What scents do not go together?

Of course, most of what does not go together will be down to personal preference, but a good practice to follow is to stick to fragrance families. For example, try to keep heavily floral scents away from very woody scents and mix fragrances that come from similar base notes to avoid any headaches!

What fragrances go well together?

Again, this is very much personal preference but keeping floral scents with citrus or fruity scents works well. You can also layer woody scent with spicy, warm notes and mix oriental scents with vanilla for a sensual, date ready scent.
