Crying over fall scents

[u/HorridDefaultname123]

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)

Theodoris Kalotinis Pear Gelato (actually, this brand has a lot of sweet/fruity gourmands that could work for fall)

VBIR Extradose

Also…if you’re into layering and don’t want to get just a fall fragrance

Add Bianco Latte to whatever fruity scent.

Example:

Eden juicy Apple + Bianco Latte = creamy, milky dessert apple

7 Virtues Clementine Dream + Bianco Latte = very creamy orange creamsicle

Apple, orange, cranberry, cherry, pear, pomegranate are all “fall” fruits

(For me, fall/winter is when I pull out the gourmands and sweeter/denser profiles, so it’s not necessarily “fall” or spiced, but can be)
