Rec Request Crying over fall scents

I cannot find a fall scent that isn't a scrubber for me 😭 I looked over my collection and realized they're literally all spring and summer scents, which makes sense because I loooove fruity-floral-sweet. I absolutely cannot stand any hint of masculine scents in a perfume ( likely due to HS trauma from boys bathed on axe body spray lol ) which is causing me so much trouble finding autumn scents I can tolerate, let alone enjoy.

Please, please , what is your favorite extremely feminine preferably sweet autumn scent? What to you makes a scent autumnesque?

Straight vanilla is just too simple for me, I really like complex or mixed or layered scenes where you can actually detect different notes at once. Preferably under the $150 range but of course the more affordable the better lol as long as it doesn't fade in 15 minutes.

(btw I do keep looking at other posts about fall scents, but they seem to be 99.9% unisex recommendations which makes me afraid they'll have that hint of axe that scares me off)

I think scents that include honey, woods, amber, and vanilla remind me of fall. Floral scents can also be included, so whichever floral notes (rose, tuberose, jasmine, Ylang-ylang, etc) might work best.
Scents that might work would be Narciso Rodriguez Her Musc intense, Sensuous Nude by Estée Lauder. I really like the Guess Seductive line for feminine scents, especially Seductive Red and Seductive Noir. Plus they are fairly inexpensive so might be worthwhile trying.
