Ebano by Botanicae
“My recommendation is Ebano by Botanicae. Ebano opens with a melody of pink pepper, fruit, and frankincense. The fragrance quickly melts into skin, like a cocoon of warm liquid cocoa and sweet praline spilling across your senses. A beautifully smooth oud shines in cold weather, keeping the scent deep and grounded. It’s a harmonious blend of gourmand facets with a dry, woody base. Imagine slowly melting butter, sugar and cocoa in the middle of the forest in wintertime – a joy to smell and experience this time of year.”
Solstis by Fragrance du Bois
“Fragrance du Bois Solstis has become my signature fall scent, and it’s no surprise why. With top notes of bergamot and lemon leading into a heart of pink pepper, cardamom and saffron, it strikes the perfect balance between citrusy brightness and spicy warmth. The base of amber and musk wraps it all in a comforting, long-lasting finish. I love wearing Solstis during the transition from summer to fall—it feels refreshing in the daytime heat and cozy as the evenings cool down. Every time I wear it, without fail, I get compliments. People always ask, ‘What are you wearing?’ because the fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day. It’s definitely a standout, with both incredible performance and the power to turn heads!”
Triumph Of Bacchus by Argos
“Argos Triumph of Bacchus. This was love at first sniff! If you want to smell like a sweet and seductive boozy apple with tobacco and vanilla look no further. A perfect sexy gourmand fragrance, my favorite scent profile. Perfect for Fall & Winter! It opens up with a blast of luscious green apple combined with rum and peach. Sweet, fruity and boozy! The spicy saffron blends amazingly with the amber, vanilla and patchouli. Tobacco in the base combined with a creamy sandalwood. This is just magic from the top to the mid to the drydown. All notes blend perfectly together.”
Amber Aoud by Roja Parfums
“Roja Amber Aoud was one of my first discoveries when I first got into niche in 2013 and was immediately captivated by it quality and complexity. It is the perfect balance of mysterious yet appealing. It has bright opening but warm heart notes are well blended and unique that wasn’t done before. The sweet and spiciness intertwine to provide an unAVERAGE experience for the wearer and those around them. I can’t help but imagine fall when I wear this. The pinnacle of sophistication.”
XJ 1861 Naxos by Xerjoff
“My choice for this fall season is Xerjoff Naxos! It was the first fragrance I ever collected from this house and also my introduction to the note of honey. Since then, I’ve become addicted to the brand and to fragrances featuring honey. Naxos opens with a fresh touch that slightly balances the sweetness of vanilla and honey, while smoky and slightly dirty tobacco mingles with a spicy lavender, creating a rich and fulfilling scent. Wearing Naxos feels like being wrapped in a blanket, watching the sunrise near a smoky campfire, the smell of burning wood in the air, while sipping a chilled citrus and honey mocktail and listening to the leaves softly falling from the nearby trees.”
VIII by Amyi
“Amyi VIII is a cozy suede fragrance that kicks off with smoky flouve grass and incense – plus a bit of red thyme and raspberry for an extra twist. What really stands out is the flouve – a rare herb in perfumery – that adds some bittersweet, honey-like, and hay vibes. As it settles, the scent gets more polished and bright, with a soft, suede-like feel that’s super comforting. The base brings in warm amber, sandalwood, and musk, making it a well-rounded and easygoing scent, perfect for fall.”
