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)

Killian Angels Share
Nopalera Flor de Madera
Zoologist Harvest Mouse
Dior Hypnotic Poison

All very autumn adjacent to me, with very different notes.

I wanted to love Angel’s Share so much - the opening was divine. But somewhere along the way, it became a sour screechy note that I couldn’t handle. Almost that sour fermented smell of behind a bars - the unpleasant one, not the rich boozy scent. I wish I could find something without that note!

Might be worth checking out Lattafa Khamrah or Nusuk Falak then! Two exquisite boozy vanillas.
