HERE'S A PERFUME TO MATCH EVERY AUTUMN OUTFIT IN YOUR WARDROBE

We don’t talk about perfumes enough. Whether you have a signature scent you’ve worn since you were 16 or your bathroom cabinet is full of discovery sets, one thing is for certain: we all love to smell good. And these days, it’s even commonplace for influencers to include their fragrance of the day in GRWM videos – so we thought we’d replicate it. Only we’re doing it with bestsellers and just-dropped perfumes you need to know, and we’re matching them to an aesthetic. Why? Because you can’t smell a scent through a screen, but you can visualise what it looks like through an outfit. So, get to know these four fragrances and see which one fits your autumn vibe best.

Notes of vanilla, amber, almond blossom and sparkling fruits define Coach’s new fragrance. But what does that actually mean? It’s a warm, comforting kind of scent with a mood-boosting kick, perfect for heading deeper into autumn. And one that needs the autumn uniform to match. For us, that entails smart layering: longline satin tops combined with soft leather jackets and denim, finished off with the perfect winter boot. Warm neutrals are encouraged to complement the perfume’s vanilla base notes.

Everyone has an old friend they love but don’t see as much as they’d like. In perfume form, it’s Marc Jacobs’ Daisy. This iconic scent has been around for a while, so often gets lost in the excitement of newer releases. But it’s a bestseller for a reason, and the floral-meets-woody scent matches AW25’s countrycore aesthetic perfectly. Notes of wild berries, jasmine and sandalwood evoke images of flower-tipped meadows in the countryside, so pair it with your favourite grandpa knits and wellies this season. Of course, you can swap the wellies for knee-high boots if you’d rather, but we’re really into them.

Laboratory Perfumes has a cult following (the brand has just launched on ASOS, FYI!) and is definitely one for the cool girls. Don’t be fooled by the minimalist bottle, though, this dynamic fragrance will stay with you all day – and keep you guessing. It’ll give you a fresh scent in the morning but mature into heady spices and warm earthy notes as the day goes on – a perfume chameleon, if you will. Mirror this in your style with a mash-up of aesthetics. Sporty femme, clashing textures and prints go hand-in-hand with this bold fragrance.

KAYALI’s latest fragrance is musky and sexy with fruity undertones. In other words, it’s screaming for a cinched blazer that can go from office to bar in 0.5 seconds – because a powerful fragrance requires an equally powerful outfit. And if you thought you couldn’t wear a perfume like this in the day, you’d be wrong. Musk naturally lends itself to evening wear, but it’s just as versatile as a sweeter scent. Spritz it on and pair with your power blazer, a well-fitting jean and a smart shoe – loafers are a key silhouette this season, but a ballet flat or heeled boot would look just as sharp.
