Scents to Know: Fabulous Fall Fragrances

The temperatures are dropping and it’s time for some cuddle weather. Let’s get into some fall fragrances that are great for snuggling up under a blanket and near the fireplace during these upcoming cooler months.

Let’s start with the very popular fragrance by Maison Margiela’s Replica Range: By The Fireplace. If you want to give “chestnuts roasting on an open fire” then this is the one for you. Described as a warm and spicy scent, this scent has notes of pink pepper essence, orange flower absolute, clove oil, chestnut accord, guaiac wood oil, cade oil, vanilla accord, Peru Balsam resinoid, and cashmere. Overall, it is giving a very rich fragrance with all the warmth you need this autumn.

Next, let’s talk about layering fragrances because it’s such a great way to get a unique scent that you may not be able to get with just one bottle. Ever wanted to smell just like a freshly baked apple pie on Thanksgiving? Well, now you can! The perfect pair for this comes from Kayali! Their Eden Juicy Apple 01 fragrance mixed with Vanilla 28 is the recipe. Eden is a fruity floral containing notes of juicy red apples, wild berries, black currant, pink grapefruit, lychee, raspberry blossom, jasmine, rose centifolia, vanilla flower, amber crystals, sugared moss, and sensual musk. Vanilla 28 has notes of jasmine, Madagascan vanilla orchid, Brazilian Tonka, musk, amber, patchouli, and brown sugar. The apple, vanilla, and brown sugar notes are the standouts to create that apple pie aroma.

Ariana Grande has truly become one of the queens of fragrance because each release is a hit. Her Cloud Eau de Parfum has been said to be an affordable dupe for the ever-popular Baccarat Rouge 540. It has notes of lavender blossom, juicy pear, bergamot, creme de coconut, indulgent praline, vanilla orchids, sensual musks, and creamy blonde woods. I call this the perfect first-date fragrance because it is so warm without being overwhelming.

And finally, let’s talk about the fragrance house that has so many gourmands that are perfect for cooler weather: Kilian. Love, Don’t Be Shy became very popular a few years ago after it became a viral fact that this was Rihanna’s go-to scent. The notes include orange blossom absolute, juicy honeysuckle, plush rose, marshmallow accord, and amber. Then there’s Angel’s Share, which is a warm, spicy, sweet gourmand with notes of cognac oil, oak absolute, cinnamon essence, tonka bean absolute, sandalwood, praline, and vanilla. Finally, Princess is a simple but effective fragrance with notes of ginger, green tea, and marshmallow. All of these are perfect for the cooler weather and last throughout the day.
