Launched in 2021 by Maison Martin Margiela, Autumn Vibes is a Woody Spicy fragrance crafted by perfumer Fanny Bal. This composition opens with the vibrancy of cardamom and pink pepper, creating an immediate sense of freshness and warmth. As it develops, coriander and nutmeg add depth, grounding the scent in earthy complexity. The base notes of cedar, moss, and balsam fir evoke a rich forest floor, where cool air meets warm spices, capturing the essence of autumn's transition.

Application Tips
Autumn Vibes is best applied lightly to pulse points. The top notes are bright but fleeting, so a second application can help maintain that initial freshness throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings or casual daytime wear.
Fanny Bal
Founding perfumer · 68 fragrances
Fanny Bal is a force of nature. As Dominique Ropion’s apprentice, she has access to the finest raw materials in the industry and some of its best-kept secrets; and yet, she is constantly surprising her seniors, first at ISIPCA, then at IFF, with her own independent initiatives and rigorous experimentation, both testaments to her flourishing talent. She has shown everyone, including Frédéric Malle, that she is a young perfumer to be reckoned with. Dominique Ropion has said of his pupil that, “curious, tenacious and bold” in both her approach to perfume and as a person, Fanny Bal possesses “all the best qualities to become a great perfumer”.
