The best autumn fragrances

As we move into the cooler months, put your floral, lemony summer fragrances in storage and look for perfumes with deeper spicy notes.

Lancôme Magnifique, £29.50, has a beautiful spicy saffron top note with a rose heart.

Slightly zestier, but still with those all-important fragrant spices, is Jo Malone's brand new Sweet Lim & Cedar. Inspired by Thai cuisine, it's totally original and perfect for this time of year.

Another unique choice, Diptyque Tamdao uses rosewood, cypress and sandalwood to create an intoxicating mix.

Sandalwood is also prevalent in Benefit's B Spot, £26.50, a real all-round favourite with women of every age, thanks to its bright and breezy top notes of peony and mango.

New this month, we're also going crazy for Estée Lauder Sensuous, £30. With amber, black pepper and mandarin, it's a heady concoction that almost makes the chilly evenings worth while.
