Loved by several members of SheerLuxe, this is woody with a twist of chypre for a grown-up feel that’s elegant and sophisticated.

JO LOVES
Best For… Unusual Warmth
Green Orange & Coriander, From £70
The right side of zesty, this doesn’t feel too fruity because of the oak moss and herbs which lend an autumnal spice to it. It’s unique too – you’ll be hard pushed to find many people wearing this one.
Available here
Pomelo, from £70
A timeless classic, Pomelo is both bright and cosseting, thanks to breezy citrus notes balanced out with vetiver. The latter gives you a hint of forest, fields and earth, but in an elegant way. If you love this, you’ll love the bath oil too.

KIEHL’S
Best For… Feeling Clean & Cosy
Musk Eau De Toilette, £43
This has that just-out-the-shower smell that feels clean, but cosy and warming too, thanks to the top note of musk. As it’s an oil, it lasts for hours on your skin, but is subtle and never too overpowering.
BYREDO
Best For… Rich, Smokey Notes
Oud Immortel, £179
As the name suggests, this perfume is heavy, strong and smokey. It’s so strong in fact, you’ll find you’re sniffing this on your skin for at least a day after you’ve spritzed it. Great for night-time.
Available here
Velvet Haze, £170
Warm, sweet, heady and soft, this dynamic yet elegant perfume has all the right ingredients for a date night or drinks, thanks to coconut water, patchouli oil and musk.
Sunday Cologne, £170
This is ideal if you want something strong and rich, but also tempered with a slightly lighter feel for daytime. Dubbed a ‘floral cologne’ it is spicy, fresh and sherbet-y all at once, and very easy to wear.
Available here
Night Veils Sellier, £235
Practically made for winter and colder weather, Night Veils Sellier captures the smell of pure leather without ever getting stale or too pungent. There’s also a smokiness that’s highly addictive and reminiscent of log fires.

MAISON MARGIELA REPLICA
Best For… Something Atmospheric
Jazz Club, £98
Sweet yet woody, this has rum and vetiver oil inside, creating a smell that will last well past closing time. It has an intense smokiness that’s never forgotten and is guaranteed to impress those around you.
Available here
By The Fireplace, £98
As the name suggests, this was made to feel cosy, warm and snug – no wonder fans call it ‘a hug bottled’. While it has some sweetness, the addition of chestnut and woody accords make it feel more oriental and smokier.
Available here
Whispers In The Library, £98
Think wax wood and old paper, then you’ve nailed the exact smell of this one. Despite its potency, vanilla is a top note, bringing some femininity but also a creamy quality that’s addictive.
Available here
TOM FORD
Best For… Evening Wear
Black Orchid Gold, From £42
This is the most potent iteration of the brand’s iconic Black Orchid, so if you’re a fan of the original, snap this up. It has amazing staying power while the added note of rum gives a darker, seductive feel.
Available here
Ombré Leather, From £85
Regularly described as ‘animalistic,’ this has real depth and warmth with patchouli, amber and white moss. It’s strong, but don’t let that put you off – it’s very classy.
Available here
F***ing Fabulous, £228
Earthy and bold, this uses potent notes of almond bitter oil, orris and leather accord for a smell that truly lives up to its name. Great for those who seek out a spicy fragrance come autumn.
Available here
Noir Pour Femme, From £58
Creamy and warm, Noir Pour Femme is brimming with rose, vanilla and jasmine, delivering a smell that’s rich and unique. You’ll get plenty of positive remarks with this one, proving it’s not commonplace.
