My Fall Fragrance Collection

|

Fall is only a few days away but I’ve already begun switching over my fragrances. In the summer, I like scents that are light, airy, fruity and a tad fresh. In the fall, I want to wear all the rich, cozy, warm scents with a hint of sweetness mixed in. I’ve accumulated a great mix of perfumes, body mists and oils that offer the perfect scent variety for the colder weather. Here are all the fragrances I plan to wear this fall.

My Fall Fragrance Collection

Nest Fragrances Cardamom Latte EDP

I am so glad I received this right before Fall starts because it is the perfect cozy cold weather scent. With notes of cardamom, jasmine petals, coconut milk and vanilla cream, this is a gourmand scent that doesn’t wear too sweet. It’s creamy and milky with just a hint of sweetness.

Phlur Strawberry Letter

This is a sexy fruity gourmand scent – if fruit and gourmand can even be sexy. LOL But in this case, THEY ARE! Top notes are cassis leaves, strawberry gariguette and plum nectar. Middle notes are wild lily, red poppy and apple blossom. Base notes are earthy woods, tonka bean and sugared amber.

Phlur Cherry Stem

I ordered a travel size of Phlur’s new Cherry Stem scent during last year’s Sephora sale without ever smelling it and hoped for the best. Thankfully it is even better than I imagined and ordered the full size. It’s a rich black cherry scent mixed with plum nectar, ebony wood, sugared jasmine and a hint of leather.

NOYZ Only Human Fragrance

The best way to describe this fragrance is a skin-like gourmand. Top notes are pink pepper and italian bergamot. Middle notes are waterlily and bamboo. Base notes are vanilla bean and cedarwood.

Nopalera Dulce de Cuerpo Perfume (discount code: MAREE10)

My fragrance preference is usually gourmand or fruity scents so I was shocked that I loved this perfume so much. It leans more smoky/earthy but is balanced out perfectly with a bit of creaminess. I have NOTHING like it in my collection but find myself reaching for it non-stop. Top notes are sweet earth. Middle notes are incense, amber and violet. Base notes are copal, vanilla and sandalwood.

Commodity Milk Orchid

With notes of fig milk, vanilla orchid, magnolia, warm cotton and coconut cream, this is a soft floral vanilla that feels creamy rather than too sweet. I wore it all throughout the summer but I think it is best suited to colder weather. I plan to layer this with different vanilla perfume oils.

Maison Louis Marie Vanille Infinie

This falls within my gourmand favorites but is a bit richer and more spicy. It leans a bit floral when you first smell it but dries down to a sweet, musky cashmere scent. Top notes are citron and evening jasmine bloom. Middle notes are heliotrope, tonka bean and sugared amber. Base notes are cashmere oud, vanilla flower and cloud musk.

Cyklar Perfume Oil in Vanilla Verve

A more concentrated fragrance option – this perfume oil is one of my favorite scents from Cyklar. It’s incredibly long-wearing and easy to wear alone or layer with other scents. I apply on my pulse points and the scent develops with the warmth of my body.

Salt & Stone Body Mist in Black Rose & Oud

It’s rare that a body mist rivals my regular perfumes in terms of longevity and wear, but this body mist is absolutely incredible! It lasts longer than any other body mist I own. It’s a heavy scent that I can only wear during the colder months but it’s one I reach for all the time because it’s unlike any other fragrance I own. The top notes are black rose, and lily of the valley. The middle notes are oud and mahogany while the base notes are vetiver, santal and amber. It’s a beautiful warm woody cedar scent that is perfect for fall.

Nest Fragrances Madagascar Vanilla Perfume Oil

Having a pure perfume oil is great for amplifying your fragrances. Especially during the fall/winter when rich scents with a lot of depth are more suitable to wear day to day. This perfume oil is quite strong so you only need a drop or two on your pulse points to release the scent. It’s a mixture of Madagascar vanilla bean, vanilla orchid, coconut and cashmere woods. I plan to add this to fragrances that are more fruity or skin-like to give them a warmer and sweeter finish.

The Color Of the Season

| ,

If there is one color to invest in this season it is purple! It’s everywhere right now in so many different tones and shades. From basics to accessories, there are so many ways to embrace this trending color for fall. Here are some of my favorite purple fall finds:

The Color of the Season

Reformation Eli Oversized Shirt

This is the shirt of the season! I have seen it in so many colors but this shiny purple is stunning!

Reformation Soren Sheer Alpaca Sweater

If deep purple isn’t your favorite, this lilac sheer sweater is a great option. The fitted waist contrasts perfectly with the bell sleeves.

J.Crew Merino Wool Bandana Scarf

Bandana scarves will be everywhere this fall/winter. I love it as a finishing touch over a simple crewneck sweater or drape it over your shoulders as an outerwear piece.

J.Crew Oversized Cashmere Sweater

This rich grape purple is absolutely gorgeous. If you are nervous to wear a bolder shade, it’s always best to pair it back to something simple like jeans or black trousers.

Staud Cuff Clutch

A modern take on an evening clutch that works for daytime too.

COS Cashmere T-Shirt

That same rich grape shade in a short sleeve version. Wear it now and then layer it under a blazer once the cold weather comes.

Roxanne Assoulin Cubic Cluster Necklace

Colorful accessories are always the best way to embrace color without fully committing to an entire look.

Varley Enrico Knit Jacket

Varley is my favorite casual athleisure brand to wear. Their pieces are so comfortable yet still stylish. This knit jacket is a subtle purple shade that still looks quite neutral.

Boden Elsie Cashmere Crewneck Sweater

A simple crewneck cardigan is a fall staple. It’s great to play around with different colors but pair it back to your closet staples to create a versatile look.

Loeffler Randall Vale Jewel Velvet Loafer

Completely over the top but I LOVE these velvet loafers!!!

Madewell Lexington Zip Shoulder Bag

I am obsessed with the shade of this suede shoulder bag!! It’s purple but not too bright or too muted. Because the shape is such a classic, it balances out the trendy color making this a timeless piece you can wear year after year.

Zara Suede Slingback Heels

The perfect workwear shoe to add a pop of color to your fall outfits.
