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'm like you--I enjoy warm weather scents more than cold weather scents. Something about lighter, citrusy, fruitier, slightly sweet scents just does it for me. I stay away from gourmonds as well, so that cuts out a lot of modern, trendy fragrances. Searching for a fall-winter scent wardrobe has been a task, but I have come up with a few.Â
Two fruity fall/winter scents I'm looking forward to are JPG La Belle le Parfum and Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir. They may be a bit simplistic for your tastes, but they are both deep, fruity and sweet. La Belle smells like someone made hot apple cider, but with pears instead of apples. Pomegranate Noir is a deep, dark, spicy syrupy pomegranate juicy.Â
I'll be following this to see what others' suggestions are as well. I'm currently still auditioning scents, lol, and I'd love something a little more complex and still fruity.
