Think of your ultimate comfort food; any bets it’s something sweet. With the nights drawing in, Feeney predicts that our perfumes will reflect our soothing food choices — but they’ll be wearable rather than overly saccharine. You might’ve heard of ‘gourmand’ fragrances: perfumes with treacly, edible notes. “While this has been a huge trend, we’re moving away from super sweet, dessert trolley scents and evolving into fragrances that remind us of our favorite comfort foods like tea, coffee, marmalade on toast and fresh, nutty pastries,” says Feeney. “[Fall] is a time when many of us want to hunker down with something familiar and comforting, with a nostalgic element, too.” She recommends Floral Street’s Ylang Ylang Espresso, with notes of espresso beans, tiramisu and Sichuan pepper. “It’s reminiscent of your morning cappuccino,” says Feeney.
