Summer aftershaves are all citrus and sea breeze. Autumn asks for something with more presence, a scent that holds its own against a wool coat and a cold walk home. Here's what to reach for as the nights draw in.
The note families that own autumn
Woody-aromatic: cedar, vetiver and sage, clean, confident and endlessly wearable to the office. Spicy-ambery: cardamom and amber for warmth with a bit of swagger, ideal after dark. Leather & tobacco: the richest, most characterful option, a proper statement scent for the season's events.
Make it last
Cold, dry air can shorten a fragrance's life on skin. Spray onto moisturised pulse points and let it dry down before dressing, you'll get noticeably more longevity. (More on that in our layering guide.)
Whether you're topping up a staple or trying something new, our men's fragrance range covers every designer name, all genuine, all boxed, all at Checkout Beauty prices. A gift set also makes an easy present for the man who "doesn't need anything."
