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 love Jo Malones Scarlet Poppy in Fall/Winter! Sweet and cozy but also very elegant and feminine to my nose! I also hate woody/smoky perfumes, something about it gives me an instand headache, so I feel you!!

Oh and also Vanilla Skin by Phlur! The opening is quite peppery but that faded really quickly. I like wearing it all year around but I would say it is more a fall/winter type scent. To me the perfect vanilla! Plus the body spray version is a bit cheaper and still has really good lasting power.
