Help with finding some fall scents

  • #recommendations
  • #seasonal_picks

I live in South US (Texas) so it doesn't get really cold but my scents tend to be made for warmer weather as I'm a big fan of floral fruity perfumes.

Any recommendations for perfumes that work better in 35-60F weather?

    Any particular notes or families you like/dislike?

      I'm a fan of lychee, peaches, and tuberose and I'm not a fan of overly sweet scents (usually fragrances with praline or caramel) or overly smoky scents.

    Vaquita dolphin sampling: peach, water lily, red currant. Very soft, sanctuary fragrances

      Thank you! I see it says sea salt. Is it a strong sea salt smell? And does it somehow smell like peach even though the description says pear?

      Ha, meant pear and sea salt, no

      Lol no worries! I've heard of cases where the combination of scents can change the overall smell.

    For fruity/floral gourmands I've tried, that aren't too sweet: Lychee for cool weather: Skylar Forbidden Fruit, D. Grayi Midnight Lychee, Van Cleef & Arpels Orchidee Vanille has a lychee note, but I wouldn't call it a lychee fragrance necessarily; it is beautiful though and fits the season. Peach for cool weather that's not too sweet or smoky: Moresque Ballerina is good for early fall and is a rosy peach, Ghost Deep Night is an apricot & peach with a vanilla/ sandalwood base, Gritti Gossip Night has lychee and peach; it's quite creamy but I don't find it to be cloying. Dedcool Mochi Milk is a creamy peach skin, BDK Pas ce Soir is a gingery peach, Le Monde Gourmand Riz de Mangue is peach & mango rice pudding, Franck Boclet Tonka is a peachy tonka, DKNY Palo Santo & Cashmere is a peachy, soft cashmere. Viktoria Minya Hedonist is a rum & peach, with a little tobacco for depth (not a tobacco scent), J-Scent Rakugan is predominantly maple & peach.

      Omg thank you! So many recommendations and many of them sound great, especially the midnight lychee, orchidee vanille, gossip night, pas ce soir, and Palo Santos & cashmere. I will have to figure out how to get samples of these 🥰😍

      You can order D Grayi/KST samples directly from the brand, people often resell their's on Mercari also. You can likely find samples/decants.of most of these on Mercari. If you want to go with a trusted decant business, I recommend Scent Split, The FragMint, Fragland, Fragrances Line, In The Drydown. There are many decant sites now. If you have Reddit, r/fragranceswap or r/femfragranceswap are fantastic and well moderated. I prefer femfragranceswap just because it's women-centric

      I've never used Mercari. Are there any general things I should look for before doing business with a seller?
