14 of the Best Autumn Fragrances for 2025

BDK Parfums Nectar Oud

Step into autumn with confidence – Nectar Oud offers understated luxury with a warm, inviting presence. Crisp raspberry and saffron introduce subtle brightness, giving way to a smoky, rich heart of oud and cypriol. Cedarwood, amberwood, and benzoin complete the composition, leaving a lingering sophistication perfect for elegant autumn evenings.

Memo Paris x Jean Jullien Odéon

Can a rose be gourmand? Memo Paris says yes – with Odéon. For autumn 2025, if you want a fragrance that feels like walking through a plush, scent-laden Parisian bistro at dusk, Odéon delivers. Rose softens the opening, sandalwood and patchouli bring creamy earthiness, and a base of tonka, amber and musk wraps it in subtle warmth. It’s gourmand in the most refined sense.

Jusbox London Hall

A scent suited to ‘The Big Smoke’ – and created as an ode to Harrods – the exclusive London Hall blends refinement with urban appeal. Clove and black tea ignite the top, while incense and labdanum build a textured, velvety heart, alongside cedarwood and amber that linger on your skin. Much like its namesake city, it’s bold and charming, all at once.

Byredo Cuir Sellier

Feeling sombre? Take comfort in Byredo’s Cuir Sellier. Part of the Night Veils collection, this intimate fragrance layers leather with birch to create a rich, tactile foundation, balanced by subtle spices and woods. The result is a cocooning fragrance that evokes a warm, cosy feeling, perfect for chilly autumn nights.

Tom Ford Black Orchid Reserve

Autumn’s a time when sudden rain showers give way to blinding sunshine – on repeat. Black Orchid Reserve captures that contrast in every spritz. Sumptuous florals such as peony and geranium shimmer with spicy accents, while smoky oud and rich woods add a touch of darkness to anchor its bold red peony heart. If you want to feel glamorous yet mysterious, this is the fragrance to wear.
