Autumn Rhythm
by Chris Collins
Autumn Rhythm by Chris Collins is a complex, woody-leathery fragrance that evokes a deep, melancholic autumn walk through a forest. It opens with bright bergamot and green notes, then settles into a rich, smoky base of leather, cedar, and cashmeran, blended with powdery iris and musky ambrette. The scent feels deeply earthy and textured, with a soft, soapy floral hint from lily-of-the-valley and tender tonka sweetness, creating a balance between bitter, woody dryness and an elegant, warm musk. While some describe it as nearly opaque in its green-woody intensity, others find it more subdued, reminiscent of a light chamomile or pastel twilight rather than a full-on forest downpour. It performs consistently on skin, lasting well beyond moderate time, with a discreet yet persistent trail that makes it suitable for both day and night. The overall impression is one of refined melancholy—sophisticated, introspective, and quietly powerful, much like stepping into a quiet, leaf-strewn grove as dusk falls.
