As the golden days of late summer fade into the crisp beginnings of autumn, our fragrance preferences naturally shift. The season calls for scents that blend the warmth of summer with the sophistication of fall—think sun-ripened fruits, velvety florals, and hints of spice. For those who appreciate the artistry of perfumery, luxury fragrances offer the perfect olfactory journey through this transitional period. Here are five exquisite high-end perfumes to elevate your late summer days into an opulent sensory experience:
