by Alkemia Perfumes
Cidre d'Automne Alkemia captures the essence of a crisp autumn day, blending fresh, tart Granny Smith apples with subtle, earthy warmth. The apple note is vibrant and realistic—like biting into a freshly picked fruit—while a gentle hint of cinnamon and spice avoids the cliché of sweet, gourmand scents. It feels natural and uncomplicated, evoking a harvest season breeze, wood smoke, and a mild green earthiness. The fragrance is especially suited to fall but carries enough freshness to wear in spring or summer with care due to its moderate sillage and short longevity. It’s highly effective when layered with other scents like The Magpie's Rhyme or Pumpkin Strumpet, creating the illusion of freshly baked apple pie. However, the projection is subtle; most find it intimate rather than strong. The spice and apple balance works best in moderation, as over-application can tip into candle-like territory for sensitive users.
