Ad. As we go into the autumn and winter months we will gradually make changes to reflect our evolving needs. We’ll make seasonal swaps within our wardrobe, shoe, makeup, and skincare collection. It also makes sense to change our signature scent to suit the season.
As the temperature cools, swap your lighter summer perfumes for heavier and richer scents. Take a look at five perfumes perfect for the cosy months of autumn and winter:
Parfums de Marly
The perfumes I have chosen all come from the Parfums de Marly range, which are available at https://www.notino.co.uk/parfums-de-marly/.
Parfums de Marly revives the splendor of the lifestyle of Château de Marly, a place dedicated to pleasure and celebration during the 18th century. A refined perfumery, respecting French savoir-faire, with audacious compositions that dare to go against the grain. Each fragrance has its own olfactory signature, developed from a palette of noble ingredients.
Luxury niche fragrances by Parfums de Marly are inspired by the times of Louis XV. whose passion for enchanting scents was well known. He especially loved extravagant and intense fragrances full of rich notes. Each day he requested his bedroom to be scented with a different perfume. Even the water in his garden fountains had a lovely scent.
Parfums de Marly revive the spirit of opulent balls and festivities that took place at the Château de Marly for the amusement of the royal court and foreign dignitaries. Each Parfums de Marly fragrance carries a piece of French history. Immerse yourself in the rich essences made from the finest ingredients known since the golden age of perfumery in the 18th century.
