Description

Day by day, the sun declines from its zenith and with the power of its rays abating, the leaves colour and fall. The air is rich with their peppery fragrance and hints at the imminent arrival of winter. It is time to lay in stores and prepare for the quiet months ahead. As the warm, comforting aromas of preserving and fragrant spices fill the house, another year draws to an end. And what a privilege it was to experience it…

In Automne, Gustave used the unique dill, spearmint and cinnamon accord naturally occurring in the Sweet Flag (Acorus Calamus) to bring to mind a watery sun rising over morning mists on a day on the cold side of the autumn equinox. An excellent choice for those with a reflective and philosophical inclination. Automne was launched in 1897. The nose behind this fragrance is Gustave Alphonse Fragrifert.
