Tempête d’Automne

Tempête d’Automne exudes a rich, dry woodiness reminiscent of deep earth and spiced leather, with a creamy, milky core that gives the scent its seamless texture. The top opens with bright citrus and pink pepper, but quickly evolves into a warm, spicy fusion of cinnamon, coriander, and lavender that settles into a smoky, sandalwood-veined base. The lactonic milk note integrates quietly, adding tenacity without disrupting the dry, woody harmony. While the scent profile is surprisingly linear in development—shifting from citrus-lavender brightening to a sustained, warm spiciness—it leaves a lasting impression, especially during night wear or in colder weather. Several users highlight its mysterious, almost otherworldly depth, comparing it to Encre Noire and classic Chypres like Egoiste, where woody-amber drydowns fuse with subtle gourmand notes. The scent is unapologetically masculine in vibe, though clearly unisex, with most finding it suitable for autumn and winter, particularly for daytime or evening wear. Despite its moderate sillage and uneven longevity—which some report as very weak but others find moderate to long—it remains compelling for those who appreciate refined, warm, mysterious fragrances with a slick spiced woodiness and creamy milk-softened drydown, which some liken to a spicier Arroz con Leche.
