#fall perfumes

·༻𐫱༺· since its october now I can compile what I most wore last month. I associate september with the start of clases and school again, the end of summer, the weather getting colder. The sun is starting to set earlier, the wind making itself heard.

Vietnamese Coffee-d'Annam

🗝 I bought this scent during the summer but september was the perfect start to wearing it. I rarely buy such expensive frangrances but the hype around this is well deserved. It is mornings before class, making my coffee to start the day. Feels wonderful in the fresh morning air, and brings a certain creamy sweetness that lasts through the day.

Poem a day-And Other Stories

🗝 A silky, sweet vanilla. Going to a literature class, studying ancient sapphic poetry. The florals give it a freshness and charm, but the caramel and pistachio bring out a comforting warmth. I wish the star anise notes were stronger but overall very wearable and affordable.

Paperback-Demeter

🗝 One of my favorite photo-realistic scents, I love the creativity of Demeters fragrances. At first spray it has a very alcohol like scent that i dont enjoy, but quickly settles into the skin. This is something I find happens with demeter fragrances in general and ive learned to expect. Feels like an old dusty library, studying classic literature. A second hand bookshop run by an old lady, finding a title youve never heard of before. Yellow stained pages, a fading cover.

Byzantium-Tesori d'Oriente

btw kai's cologne smells absolutely DELICIOUS. i sprayed it on the back of my hand (one spritz because its ridiculously marked up for a sample) and even after washing my hands (i do suffer from ocd and am prone to excessive hand washing with soap), i can still smell it after almost an entire day (i think it helps that the soap i was using was unscented too because it didn't shift the scent of the cologne)!

some things I will note is that it's:

definitely masculine leaning even though it's marketed as unisex

a little aggressive with the initial spice notes of bay leaves, pepper, and cinnamon

the subtler dry down and how it wears after a while is really pleasant though! (i was almost scared i was going to hate it and didn't have the same tastes as kai at ALL! i'm more of a citrus and musk/clean scent kind of girl but i think it's really nice to smell on a partner!)

Top 10 Best Women's Perfumes for Winter 2022

My Winter Fragrance Picks #bbloggers

Scents are a big part of winter for me. Citrus sweet candles that smell of cocktails being switched out in favour of rich, spicy scents that wrap your home in a warm comforting aroma and the perfumes that you reach for at the same time as dusting off your winter boots and rooting for your berry lipsticks. We all have our individual favourites and with scent being such a powerful sense, it can be…

Yahoo Beauty would like to introduce you to "The New-New," a column by Beauty Director Dana Oliver on the newest products, tools, and treatments that she'd happily spend her hard-earned money on. Leather fragrances exude a warm, spicy aroma that takes me back to my childhood, when I'd sit inside my mother's walk-in closet, which was filled to the ceiling with luxurious handbags. The intoxicating rich scent of leather stuck to me, even when I tried to cover up where I'd been hiding for hours on end. According to Brands With Purpose fragrance agent Bart Schmidt, modern perfumery originated from the leather/tannery industry, masking the horrendous scent of real animal hide. "Fortunately, we've come a long way!" he says. "Wonderful perfumes like Creed's Royal English Leather [commissioned by King George III in 1781] to modern English evolutionary and revolutionary creations like Beaufort's Coeur de Noir. But I'm skipping a couple of centuries." Leather-type fragrances with a blend of warm balsamic, creamy, and musk notes are very "skin-friendly" and possess great long-lasting power, says Schmidt. He continues: "Looking at the traditional fragrance pyramid (top, heart, and bottom), these notes tend to fall more in the bottom. Don't you just love it when you still smell it on your shirt or pillow the following day?" Actually, I do. Schmidt points out that modern formulations of leather fragrances such as Valentino Uomo and Oud Assoluto incorporate lighter floral and sweeter cocoa notes that make them appropriate for any season, less intense, and gender-neutral. Though that's the beauty of building your own fragrance wardrobe. "Just wear what's good to you," says Schmidt. Here are five leather fragrances I plan to keep in heavy rotation during the cold-weather months. Let’s keep in touch! Follow Yahoo Beauty on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

Tom Ford Ombre Leather 16 Atomizer

In my honest opinion, no one does fragrance like Mr. Tom Ford. And this leather-wrapped scent, which debuted at his autumn-winter 2016 show, is strong and sensual like every woman I know. $450, TomFord.com

Lancôme Maison Lancôme L’Autre Ôud

Perfumer Christophe Raynaud mastered a sophisticated blend of spicy and sweet using notes of wood, rose, and frankincense with this gold-tinged perfume. $195, Lancome-usa.com

Byredo Rodeo

If I were to bottle the smell from my father's leopard-skin horse saddle, it would smell exactly like this. Roped in by the clean and crisp aroma of vetiver, this unisex fragrance dries down into a stimulating mixture of suede and leather. Available exclusively at the Byredo Wooster Street Boutique in New York City

Penhaligon’s Portraits : Much Ado About the Duke

To channel the air of a British duke, master perfumer Daphné Bugey mixed robust notes of gin and leathery woods along with the subtle sweetness of peppery rose. The result? A dangerously divine scent that's just as elegant as the bottle it's poured into. $235, Penhaligons.com

Memo Paris Russian Leather
