L’Automne

The scent of an old library on a chilly autumn day, where the musty pages and woody notes blend with the faint hint of citrus.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Guerlain and crafted by Thierry Wasser, L'Automne captures the essence of autumn through its powdery floral and woody aromas. The fragrance opens with a bright citrus note that quickly gives way to the heart of iris, vetiver, and cedar. These earthy and aromatic elements evoke the crispness and warmth of fall, while the base notes of moss, patchouli, and tonka bean add depth and complexity. L'Automne is part of Guerlain's Les Quatres Saisons collection, a series of limited edition fragrances inspired by each season.

How to wear it

Apply L'Automne to pulse points for a long-lasting effect. The top note is brief but vibrant, so let it settle into the heart and base notes for a richer experience. It reads best in cooler weather when its earthy warmth can truly shine.
