Top 10 Perfumes for Fall

As the weather becomes colder, we tend to wear perfumes with heavier notes. Generally speaking fresher and lighter scents are used in warmer weather and warmer scents are worn in colder weather. That being said these are our Top 10 Perfumes for Fall:

Penhaligon’s Elixir Unisex

MAIN ACCORDS: balsamic, woody, warm spicy, smoky and aromatic
Promising Review: ” Definitely one of the great fragrances of Penhaligon’s, although it is a touch soapy. But overall nice medieval smoky resinous warm spicy scent.”

Revlon Ciara for Women

MAIN ACCORDS: balsamic, woody, sweet, smoky and leather
Promising Review: ” Charmingly old-timey lemony soapy in the opening, extremely feminine. Like Chantilly dialed down from caricature levels. Shortly transforms to a more becoming and freshly-fruitily uplifting pleasing presence that’s still grounded in something woody or fibrous, almost tar-like but with absolutely no smokiness. Smells like a nice potpourri. I really like it.”
MAIN ACCORDS: fruity, sweet, rose, soft spicy and sour
Promising Review: ” I have this on today and it’s so lovely that I can’t stop smelling my wrists. Roses that smell like Turkish Delight.”

Creed Royal Oud for Men

MAIN ACCORDS: woody, musky, powdery, citrus, green and oud
Promising Review: ” Bottled luxury. I would label this a contemporary Bois De Portugal for a new generation. What we have here is an opulent concoction of creamy woods, sparkling spices and just a dash of faint oud in the dry down. Longevity and sillage are outstanding. Looking forward to wearing this during winter. Too rich for summer and spring, methinks.”

Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb for men

MAIN ACCORDS: warm spicy, cinnamon, tobacco, sweet, leather and soft spicy
Promising Review: ” This fragrance is liquid gold, it’s popular for a very good reason. And it’s named very appropriately too, it’s packs the spice punch of a bomb. I can’t see this ever not being in my rotation.”

Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men

MAIN ACCORDS: amber, fresh spicy, tobacco, citrus and sweet
Promising Review: ” Its very unique kinda fragrance.Very Masculine and Heavy.Just some performance issues.otherwise its a masterpiece.I totally love it.You should go for EDP version.It lasts longer and more intense”

Byerdo Accord Oud Unisex

MAIN ACCORDS: leather, fruity, oud, warm spicy and sweet
Promising Review: ” This stuff is great. The opening is sweet leather and medicinal/rubbery oud with a fruity vibe, after a while the saffron really comes out and it just becomes this delicious composition that’s just super intoxicating. I get a Tuscan Leather vibe from this one even though they smell very different. This very much unisex compared to something like TL. “

By Kilian Intoxicated Unisex

MAIN ACCORDS: warm spicy, coffee, fresh spicy, cinnamon and aromatic
Promising Review: ” I really Love this Scent and the whole packaging etc. Opens with Turkish Coffee and merges into a classy Amen vibe. Downside… doesn’t last long, sadly. A BIG downside too as it’s not cheap. I would but more Kilian if They lasted longer but all of the ones I have tried have lasted 2 or 3 Hours Max and then fade away. A real shame as the smells are Lush and the packaging is Fab.”

Giorgio Armani Si for Women

MAIN ACCORDS: vanilla, aromatic, green, fruity, woody and soft spicy

Promising Review: ” I love this fragrance. It’s a bit much for the daytime I think but I love it for an evening out or dressy occasion. It lasts a good amount of time on me (5-6 hours). It’s one I think I will always have in my collection, but not an everyday perfume in my opinion. Reminds me of Miss Dior.”

Amouage Journey  for men

MAIN ACCORDS: warm spicy, aromatic, balsamic, woody, tobacco and smoky
Promising Review: ” Opening: spicy, dry, rough, quite harsh for an untrained nose … Dry-Down: warm, smoky, balsamic
Feeling: takes you on an authentic olfactory journey through Arabia, one of the most oriental/arabic scents that I’ve tried.”

Best Spring Fragrances

The spring is here and it is time to talk about best perfumes for spring. I wrote about this in the last years too so I’m trying to mention new perfumes here.

Best Spring Fragrances for Women

1.Miu Miu

Main Accords are:

Green, Floral, Rose, White Floral, and citrus

Promising Review: “This may be my favorite perfume ever! The floral opening is less than unique, but still lovely and well-blended. What does it for me is an interesting peppery-ness in the dry down that I can’t get enough of. This surely comes from the wood note. It’s def a unique element that may not be compatible with everyone’s tastes or body chemistry. I, however, am in love <3”

2.Gucci Bamboo

Main Accords are: White Floral, Citrus, Woody, Yellow floral, and Sweet

Promising Review: ” Love the scent, its fresh but mild. Perfect for spring day wear. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I don’t feel like it lasts more than a couple of hours. It’s worth it for the time you can smell it though!”

3. Christian Dior J’adore

Main Accords are: Floral, Fruity, White Floral, Sweet and aquatic

Promising Review: “Beautiful perfume, I find it fresh like being on a beach its not an old Lady perfume. I’m In love with it, I can’t stop smelling my wrist its such a lovely scent and Long lasting on me which is rare!”

4.Vince Camuto Bella

Main Accords are: Citrus, White Floral, Amber, Animalic and fresh spicy

Promising Review: ” Really like this! Instant tropical fruity piña colada in a bottle! And what a bottle! It’s definitely one of the prettiest perfume bottles I’ve come across.”

5. Tory Burch Absolu

Main Accords are: Woody, White floral, Soft spicy, floral, tuberose, green

Promising Review: “Fruity Berry opening. But more sophisticated and matured, not candy-like. Comes off to me as pears. sweet slightly medicinal finish, Long lasting, even in hot Florida weather.
Not bad, goes with the fashion line. Doesn’t really stand out for me.
Longevity: Long lasting
sillage: moderate.”

Best Spring Fragrances for Men

1.Chanel Allure Homme Sport

Main Accords are: Citrus, Aromatic, aldehydic, marine, fresh spicy and vanilla

Promising Review: “Everything about this one is great. Even now in the colder autumn weather I think it’s still appropriate because of the creamy tonka bean and vanilla. The go-to fragrance of all time!”

 2. Acqua Di Gio Profumo

Main Accords are: Aromatic, Marine, Fresh spicy, Balsamic, smoky and citrus
Promising Review: ” Very nice scent, similar to the original one, but while the original would be mostly used day time in summer, this one I would say day and night. Plus I see nothing wrong as time goes on things need to get updated otherwise would be dated and that’s what they did to the original.”

3. Paco Rabanne Invictus

Main Accords are: Citrus, Marine, Aromatic, Fresh Spicy, and woody

Promising Review: ” Though I detest the bottle, this guy is fantastic! Don’t throw this one out because of the cheesy marketing – it is a great fragrance. Take Acqua di Gio and Individuel and mix them and you get this. Great longevity – just a really great fragrance.”

4. Versace Dylan Blue

Main Accords are: Citrus, fresh spicy, musky, amber and balsamic
Promising Review: “I never wore cologne because I couldn’t find one I liked enough to wear consistently and purchase…I wear this everyday and can’t go a day without getting a compliment on this scent!”

5. Bvlgari Aqva Amara

Main Accords are: Citrus, aquatic, balsamic, fresh, white floral, and smoky

Promising Review: ” Its an aquatic citrusy masculine fragrance. It opens with a blast of citrus (I swear i can smell orange blossom in here). Its a compliment getter and suits i guess the casual wear in high summer heat. Its a sexy fragrance, appreciated by the people around you more than appreciated by the person who wore it. Masculine, not unisex.”

 

Let me know your favorite perfume to wear in the spring in the comment.
