I’m a firm believer that fragrance should be approached much in the same way as fashion. You would not dream of having only one outfit for every single occasion or season, so why would you do the same with your scent? There is literally a fragrance for everything and I always try and match my scent to my outfit, whatever it is I may be doing, and the season of the time. For these reasons I’ve got into a cycle of curating a seasonal fragrance wardrobe which sits on a lovely little marble tray in my bedroom. I’ll be sharing this selection with you every season (whether you like it or not….)

Winter 2024/25 has been a very busy season life-wise and a mixed season for me from an olfactory perspective. I’ve focused on warmer scents (understandably) but have also craved freshness. I’ve leaned into the gourmand quite often (quelle surprise) and have worn a mixture of new launches and classics. There have even been one or two rediscoveries of things in my collection that I’d completely forgotten about. It’s been an exciting time fragrance-wise, so here’s a quick round-up of what I wore over the last few months.

Now this comes with the caveat that I have an ADHD brain (this is what the doctors tell me, anyway) so it’s likely that there will be some shift in this selection over the coming weeks. But for now, this is what I’m wearing for Autumn 2024. What’s the vibe of the season, I hear you ask? Well, it’s a bit hard to pin down and you’ll see that my wardrobe is somewhat chaotic, but I’m being drawn to warmer, smokier things, whether those be sparkling gourmands, transparent ambers or haughty chypres. Let’s dive in to The Candy Perfume Boy’s Fragrance Wardrobe for Autumn 2024. Drumroll please…

This is what I’m wearing this season.
