It’s officially the greatest season of the year.

And if you’re ready to wave goodbye to the heady coconut rush of sunscreen and surround yourself in a scent more befitting of the chilly days and crisp dark nights ahead, there’s an olfactory treat waiting for you in Brown Thomas.

An ode to memories, those we treasure and all the new ones to be made, Maison Margiela’s Replica collection now features a new fragrance, ideal for right now: Autumn Vibes is inspired by “a quiet, introspective walk along a forest’s rusty-coloured autumn foliage”.

A woody and slightly resinous trail of cedarwood is blended with a moss accord, evoking the soaked leaves and moss of an autumn day in a forest.

Fir balsam and labdanum call to mind the sweetness of tree sap, while spicy notes of pink pepper mingle with green notes of coriander and cardamom, “reproducing the colours of autumn leaves crackling as you walk under the forest canopy.”

There’s a warm hint of nutmeg in there too, softened by earthy carrot seed, replicating the forest’s moist undergrowth.

“From the onset I had in mind a forest walk in autumn,” says Maison Margiela perfumer Fanny Bal.

“In particular, those moments when you feel the dried leaves crackle under your feet. Tree trunks are covered with moss, damp notes of undergrowth float in the air. All you can see is red, brown, and yellow leaves, slowly falling to the ground.”

Roll on Halloween.
