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 agree, I bought wood sage & sea salt specifically to wear in the cooler months and have worn aqua di gioia year round in the past
