The Transition of Scents: From Summer to Autumn

The Transition of Scents: From Summer to Autumn

The Subtle Shift of the Season

Late summer in Berlin is never just sunshine. The sky often holds both rain and light in a single day. The air feels softer, the green of the city begins to deepen, and in the evenings there’s already a hint of change. It’s the moment when summer starts to let go, and autumn quietly arrives.

This shift isn’t just something we see—it’s something we smell.

How Our Senses Notice the Change

In summer, the air carries freshness: wet leaves after rain, bright citrus fruits, and the warmth of sun on skin. As we move into autumn, these lighter notes give way to something deeper. The earth feels closer. Scents of wood, herbs, and resins start to linger longer, offering warmth and grounding.

Our sense of smell naturally follows this rhythm. We crave freshness when the days are hot and long. But when the air cools, we begin to seek comfort in scents that feel steady, warm, and earthy.

Scents That Belong to the Season

  • Summer’s brightness often comes from citrus and green herbs—refreshing, uplifting, and light.

  • Autumn’s warmth leans into woods, roots, and resins—calming, grounding, and lasting.

The transition itself is a beautiful balance: one day still touched by sun and citrus, the next carried by spice and earth.

The Inspiration Behind Our Blends

Every scent we create is rooted in these kinds of seasonal moments.

  • TAU was inspired by the fleeting freshness of a summer drop of rain—light, sudden, unforgettable.

  • Forest Moss captures the meditative stillness of earth and grounding roots, perfect for the calm of early autumn.

  • My Sicily holds the golden memory of late summer sun, while Moon Breeze brings clarity and softness for the darker evenings ahead.

Each blend is created to reflect not only a fragrance, but also the feeling of time and place.

Living the Season with Intention

The transition from summer to autumn invites us to slow down. Lighting a candle in the evening, diffusing a grounding scent, or carrying a soft fragrance on your skin can turn this seasonal change into a ritual. It’s a way of honoring both the brightness that is fading and the calm that is arriving.
