Today was blissful for one reason alone– the temperature strayed into “almost chilly” for the first time since autumn began in my city! To celebrate, I dusted off my favorite fall scents and doused myself with abandon.
Fresh: Cannabis Santal
Am I crazy or did Fresh’s Cannabis Santal fragrance used to be listed as unisex? Does it matter? You know, I won’t get into that right now. This is one of my favorite fall fragrances and though it has a lot of delicious sounding notes, such as chocolate and magnolia, what really comes through for me is the outdoorsy-ness of the patchouli laying over the top of the vanilla-musk sweetness. Divine.
Tom Ford: Black Orchid
I’m sorry to say this will be the last bottle of Black Orchid I’ll be purchasing. It’s spicy and floral, and blended with sandalwood and patchouli, the overall result is superb. In a word: it is sumptuous. Interestingly enough, a friend used to tell me that this scent was too serious whenever I happened to wear it around her, which I soon realized was an accurate way to evaluate when a fragrance was amazing and should be worn at all times. Needless to say, I’m going to enjoy using the rest of this bottle.
While I have my favorites, I’m always looking for new ideas. Leave your favorite autumn scents in the comments!
