A cozy home and the pleasures of autumn

A cozy home and the pleasures of autumn

Autumn has an unmistakable charm. Some give in to it wholeheartedly, while others need a little coziness as the days grow shorter and colder. 

07 • 01 • 2025

Autumn undoubtedly has its own scent. It's the smell of damp earth breathing after the summer heat, and leaves that rustle underfoot like whispering secrets. It smells like smoke from the fireplace that wraps you in warmth and memories, and like apples and cinnamon that fill the kitchen with the sweet aroma of homemade pie.

Maybe this season smells completely different to you? Great! Regardless of your preferences, it's undoubtedly the perfect time to treat yourself to little pleasures you deserve. Discover scents that will help you create a cozy atmosphere in your home.

Sandalwood, warming spices... what does autumn smell like?

In autumn we appreciate more intense, sensual scents. We're generally not looking for refreshment or invigoration as we do during heatwaves. Although, of course, there can be exceptions to this rule.

What scents do you associate with this season? For us, autumn is:

- The scent of burning wood from fireplaces and bonfires, which brings warmth and coziness.
- Damp, fallen leaves decomposing on the ground and releasing a distinctive, earthy aroma.
- Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger, which often appear in autumnal aromatic dishes and warming drinks.
- Apples, pears, figs and pumpkins, harvested in autumn, that emit sweet and fresh accords.
- The smell of wet earth and moss, which is very intense and pronounced - especially after rain.

Or maybe it smells completely different to you? Whatever your associations, the unique scent compositions you'll find at Galilu will surely help you bring them out from the corners of your memory.

Perfumes you'll love in autumn

Looking for a scent for yourself that will captivate you this autumn? Check out a few of our suggestions:

Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle - The Moon

A composition that combines sweet and fruity notes with intense incense and deep oud, ideal for autumn evening outings.

Aedes de Venustas - Café Tabac

An extremely sensual fragrance that evokes strong emotions - also in autumn. It's a composition that blends notes of tobacco, cardamom, clove, resin, caramel, nutmeg, moss and many other accords. Sounds autumnal, doesn't it?

Ormaie - Tableau Parisien

It combines spicy notes and tobacco with the warmth of vanilla and benzoin, creating an elegant and enveloping composition. You'll also find floral notes that will bring summer memories to mind.

Byredo - Gypsy Water

A warm and at the same time refreshing scent that combines the sweetness of vanilla with the depth of amber. It's highly enigmatic and will certainly surprise you.

Diptyque - Tam Dao

A woody-spicy scent that transports us to mysterious forests. It's elegant and sensual.

What will make your autumn evenings more pleasant?

Shorter days and the lack of evening sunlight can negatively affect your mood. Perfumes for you are one thing. It's also worth taking care of your surroundings. Well-chosen scents can work wonders, introducing an unrivaled atmosphere into your interior.

Such an effect can be achieved by home fragrances. Perhaps you'll be delighted by the composition Nottetempo with the scent of burned wood 34 Boulevard Saint Germain from the already iconic niche brand Diptyque, which features notes of fig, blackcurrant, spices, woods and moss.

Which candles to choose for autumn?

Autumn evenings are the perfect time for relaxation and small pleasures. A hot bath with essential oils, a warm blanket and a good book is the ideal recipe for a successful evening for many. Scented candles can additionally enhance this effect, creating a cozy atmosphere in your home and putting you in a good mood.

Which candles from Galilu's offer are worth paying special attention to?

Diptyque - Feu de Bois

This is a candle that will bring the enchanting scent of burning wood into your home. It smells like delightful evenings spent by the fireplace, when the crackle of the fire creates a mysterious, relaxing soundtrack. It's made up of smoky accords and woody notes.

Amoln - København

It contains woody, spicy and warm accords that create a cozy atmosphere. Ideal for cooler evenings when you want to relax by warm light. After all, it was the Danes who created hygge, and the name of this candle comes from the capital of that country.

Essential Parfums - Fig Infusion

Fig will evoke memories of warm, peaceful summer days. Meanwhile, sandalwood and benzoin will wrap you and create a cozy atmosphere. This is a candle that will become a wonderful companion for autumn evenings.

    Let's talk… how Galilu was born

    Galilu is turning 20. It's a good time to return to the memories and the people who have been creating them (almost) from the beginning. In an anniversary interview, Agnieszka Łukasik talks with Ania Parniewicz about early enthusiasms, courage, relationships, and stories that we won't find in any company archive.
