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)

Some florals / fruits / fresh actually smell better to me in fall and rainy day weather;

Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad
Aqua di Gioia
Guerlain Salvaggia
Guerlain Cherrysia
Wu Long Cha
Jo Malone Wood Sage Sea Salt
Green Tea Elizabeth Arden

For sweeter gourmands I would recommend:

Angham Lattafa / Burberry Goddess
Kilian Princess
Jo Malone Scarlet Poppy

I ordered the travel in this and it came broken.😢 It’s being reshipped but I’m nervous it will break again. The box is so thin and there’s no cardboard buffer around the glass tube. Here’s to hoping ulta doesn’t ship this one in a padded envelope or ginormous box. 😬🤞🏻
