Parfums Olibere Savannah’s Heart (Luca Maffei): When the leaves are damp underfoot and the air hangs heavy with the wet chill of late autumn, I long for fall fragrances that bring a crackle of heat and sun. Savannah’s Heart from Parfums Olibere takes you to the African veldt in deep summer, when the wind rustles dried grasses as coffee brews from a tin pot over a campfire. Bright, tart notes of rhubarb and bergamot act like bursts of sunlight before the roasty, aroma of unsweetened coffee and baked, mineral and hay notes take center stage. Musk and labdanum add a prowling animal sweatiness. In the dry-down, a medley of wood notes suggests trees swaying softly in the rippling air. If the wind starts to keen outside, spray this on, close your eyes, and hear the distant roar lions instead. Notes: Bergamot, rhubarb, ciste labdanum, coffee Arabica, pure jungle essence, karma wood, sandalwood, cashmere wood, vanillamusks.-Lauryn Beer, Senior Editor

Summer seems everlasting this year in Italy, which I simply love, so I’ve been enjoying my sparkling juices even in September during the day. The thought of a night chill makes me start to think of  the golden embrace of fall fragrances with 2012’s Fusion Sacrée Clair by Bertrand Duchaufour for Majda Bekkali. Odd and fruity in the best possible way, its green ripeness with fig and rhubarb hides the languorous tuberose, blooming in the last heat weaves. The oriental base with vanilla, spicy Tolu balm and soothing fir balsam wears creamy yet lively with a slight nutty vibe in the upcoming cold days will be as comforting as a blanket and a good strong cuppa- Notes: Bergamot, blackcurrant buds, rhubarb, coriander, mandarine, Coffee, tuberose, orange blossom, gardenia, jasmine, clove, fig, celery, Fir balsam, Madagascan vanilla, Tolu balsam, benzoin, heliotrope, muskErmano Picco,  Editor

Neil Morris Rose Afire (Neil Morris – 2018) wears on my skin like a cool flame, a wisp and a haze of tarred cade suffused with the brisk, clear wetness of wild rose. As the smoke clears, the initial surreal flare blossoms into the full-bodied, fruity scents of blazing red hybrid teas and delicate damasks.  At the heart Rose Afire simmers, rich with caramel, cinnamon and the warmth of vanillac oak. A hint of pumpkin plumps the flower as the blossom emerges from fragrant glowing coals – a full-blown, rosy phoenix rising from ashes. As I step reluctantly into the wet and drippy months of autumn, I simply must choose Rose Afire as one of my favorite fall fragrances – Neil Morris Rose Afire, my smoldering last rose of summer! Notes: Cade, wild rose accord, Damask rose, apple, cinnamon, oak, caramel, Aldehydes, patchouli, pumpkin and Norlimbanol® (a woody aroma molecule from Firmenich).

The end of the harvest season fast approaches. In anticipation of Samhain and All Souls' Eve, I am drawn to Atelier Des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes(Twilight Of The Souls), another of my favorite fall fragrances. Crépuscule des Âmes (Marie Salamagne and Jean Phillipe Clermont – 2018) embodies, in scent, the dusky, twilight hours, the magic of animalic sensuality and a glimmer of the mysterious will-o-the-wisp. Sparks of mandarin and sweet spices swirl into a fragrant darkness of camphor and hyssop. The blatant carnality of hyraceum, shrouded in incense, ushers me into a world of wraiths and spirits, sparkling with buoyant embers of clary sage and pimento. The dark heart and haunting warmth of Crépuscule des Âmes become increasingly translucent as the tartness of mandarin returns to the composition. When dawn breaks, hyraceum, the animal spirit of the perfume, fades and dissolves into an impression of sunlight and fresh morning air. Notes: Mandarincardamom, clary sage, hyssop, incense, pimento berries, hyraceum infusion and patchouli. Gail Gross – Senior Editor

English autumn chill painted by John Atkinson Grimshaw, 1882

As they days get shorter I yearn for the cool of autumn and smoky, boozy aromasEx Idolo Ryder, 2015, is one of my favorite fall fragrances and the one bottle on my shelf that teases me the most. When I spray it on I can’t help but close my eyes. I’m in a Victorian London men’s club, sunk deep in a leather chair, leafing through a book of maps of of the East, whiskey at my elbow…somewhere in the room is someone who’s had a recent embrace from a jasmine scented lady…. a friend smoking sweet tobacco in his pipe pads by with soft footsteps on the thick oriental carpet. All is well as the wind howls outside. Perfumer Matthew Zhuk uses rare natural materials to make his fragrances in small batches to create this dream. Notes: Sweet Pipe tobacco, Aromatic Esters, Resinous Amber, Dark Woods, Jasmine, Omani Frankincense, Tahitian Vanilla, Olibanum, Sweet Boozy Notes. – Marianne Butler, Contributor

Haystacks Claude Monet

After a long, hot summer, and amidst a still warm, dry September, I find myself craving for natural-smelling, mind-clearing, soul-soothing fragrances. My current favorite "été indien" scent is Parfums Dusita Erawan,  a top-quality, highly original fougère (and Pissara Umavijani's most conceptual creation). The inspired combination of herbal notes, hay accord, cedar, petitgrain, oakmoss, lily-of-the-valley, vetiver, liatris and clary sage mentally transport me to long walks through autumn forests, and countryside landscapes with hay stacks and fields ready for harvest; meanwhile, Erawan's nutritious-gourmand facet of honeyed cereal, toasted nuts and sweet vanilla feels like finding a welcoming farmhouse at the end of a long – but most exhilarating – walk. Erawan is a perfect scent companion for autumnal strolls throughout Paris – even though my constant urge to sniff my wrist or my foulard may be causing some curious looks from passers-by! – Despina Veneti, Contributor

It’s definitely Autumn in the Pacific Northwest; the extra duvets have been brought out and aired, the fire wood is split and stacked waiting for the firing-up of the wood stove, the lights are turned on earlier and we are as ready as can be for the cold months ahead. My thoughts turn to fall fragrances and here are two that will be in constant rotation.

St. Clair Scents Frost (Diane St. Clair 2018): Reminiscent of woodsmoke from a chimney, falling leaves, and rare, rich mulchy soil, Diane St. Clair’s tribute to American poet Robert Frost is the quintessential Fall fragrance. What St. Clair’s Gardeners Glove does for the summer garden, Frost does for the Autumn walk in the woods. Laden with the essential smells of the woodlands in Fall, Frost is the olfactive equivalent of a tattered and earmarked book of verse you might carry in your favorite wool “woods-tromping” jacket. It smells of forests, campfires, and the slumbering earth. “This scent follows the story of Frost’s poem, “To Earthward” which describes the transformation of youthful love, from “sweet like the petals of the rose” and “sprays of honeysuckle” to painful love, which stings like “bitter bark”, “burning clove” and “rough earth.” -Diane St. Clair. Notes: Bergamot, Mandarin Yellow and Green, Coriander, Petitgrain sur fleur, Meyer Lemon, Honeysuckle Accord, Rose Geranium, Elderflower Absolute, Petitgrain Absolute, Cistus, Labdanum Absolute, Vanilla Absolute, Vetiver , Cedar, Smoke, Clove Absolute.

Christian Dior Mitzah (Francois Demachy, 2010): If St. Clair Scents campfire is the destination, then Dior’s Mitzah is the well-loved nubby sweater you might throw on to get there. Part of Dior’s great La Collection Couturier, Mitzah is like an old treasured friend and remains one of the great “cashmere shawl” perfumes, snugly wrapping you in layers of warm honey, spice, rose, and precious resins.  Although not listed in the notes, a beautiful smooth amber is the star here. A timeless and modern classic, Mitzah is a perfume that works in most seasons, but really comes to life when the days draw in and the temperature dips. I call it “Mitzvah” which appropriately enough is the Yiddish word for “good deed” or “blessing.” And that’s exactly what Dior’s Mitzah is. Notes: Coriander, rose, spices, cinnamon, labdanum, vanillahoneypatchouli, Somalian incense.-Robert Herrmann, Senior Editor

I treasure all the seasons, but I fear that autumn tends to usurp pride of place. I’m mad for the moldering aromas, cycle of rebirth via decay, its superb array of coloration, moody firmament and waning light. Autumn feels contemplative; I welcome the brisker temperatures and their tonic, invigorating effect.

Maison Mona Di Orio Oud Osmanthus (2011): Darkness before the dawn – not necessarily everyone’s cup of tea, but is mine. I’ll wear this any time of year, but autumn in particular sparks effusive synesthesia for me: Mendelssohn’s glorious duet Herbstlied (all about how suddenly spring morphs into winter, but it translates as Autumn Song), New England’s renowned foliage and sylvan forays. It’s mercurial, operatic, animalic and supremely comforting, which makes it one of my all-time-favorite perfumes and one of my favorite fall fragrances. Its frisky lemony incense/citrus/floral introduction ensnares you before you realize how profoundly earnest it is: oh, so deep, it will swallow you whole in its Stygian embrace invoked by mysterious woody components. That luminous beacon piercing the shadows is apricot-y/leathery osmanthus, a real coup de foudre. I feel like Persephone emerging from the Underworld, in the very best way… Notes: elemi, green mandarin, petitgrain, patchouli, osmanthus, cypriol, cedarwood, Laotian oud, musk, ambergris Ida Meister Sr. Editor

Nigella Lawson covered in salted caramel sauce for Stylist Magazine

Shay & Blue Salt Caramel (Julie Massé) 2014: Gourmands are among my favorite fall fragrances. I recently read that a well-known perfume critic finds gourmands to be “invariably repulsive”.  Obviously he has not smelt the stunning rush of salt and sweet caramel that is Shay& Blue’s aptly named Salt Caramel. In house Perfumer Julie Massé has created a gourmand for grown-ups without the stickiness of so many mainstream “candy” fragrances. Her deft use of slightly smoky caramelized musks, vanilla, sandalwood and tonka bean paints this perfume with tawny golden hues that is frankly sensual. Sophisticated, sensory, and a bit naughty, indulge in a scent you will want to bathe in as the icy grip of autumn nights start to chill you to the bone. I want to lick my sweetly salted skin.-Michelyn Camen, Editor in Chief

  • Shay and Blue Salt Caramel! What can I say, sold at Nigella covered in caramel. “I want to lick my sweetly salted skin.” Canada.

  • “Autumn feels contemplative”….I completely agree. I would love to win Frost, Erawan, Oud Osmanthus,Salt Caramel or Crepuscle des Ames. In the USA

  • Ex Idolo Ryder is the one I’d like to win here. And I was put in the mood because of the description of the Victorian London men’s club. US

  • I have coveted the Mona Di Orio for years. It is a fragrance that I don’t see myself:wearing often, but those special occasions would be incredible. I love the thought of “the introduction ensnares you before you realize how profoundly earnest it is: oh, so deep…”isn’t that how a walk in the woods during the fall makes you feel.

    I have read multiple reviews of Frost which causes me to covet it also.

    I live in the US.

  • Hello, wow haven’t smelled most of these! Please give me a chance for OUDH OSMANTHUS, FROST, EREWAN, SALT CARAMEL, CREPUSCULE DES AMES or ROSE AFIRE. All the writers are incredible but Gail’s anticipation of All Soul’s Eve really caught my imagination! And the artwork is beautiful as well. Thank you so much for a beautiful article as well as such a generous draw. In the US.

  • Fall is such a pretty season where nature teaches us to let go of the old and the warm rich golden tones surround us in comfort. Robert Herrmann mentions his Mitzah like ” well-loved nubby sweater ” encompassing the fall season ….

    Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    50 ml of Parfums Dusita Erawan
    Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus
    In USA.

  • I live for autumn – love absolutely everything about it. Robert’s descriptions of St. Clair Scents Frost and Mitzah sounds like what the season is all about for me. Perfection.
    I really love the sound of all the fragrances listed, but those that appeal most to me are: Frost, Ex Idolo Ryder (both 1st), Savannah’s Heart, Rose Afire and Erawan.
    I live in Oregon (it’s not cold enough for my liking yet!)

  • I love Fall its my favorite season and I liked all of the contributors description of their feelings for fall and the scents that call to them in the fall even Ida’s sort of dark version ” I’m mad for the moldering aromas, cycle of rebirth via decay, its superb array of coloration, moody firmament and waning light. Autumn feels contemplative; I welcome the brisker temperatures and their tonic, invigorating effect.” Ida Meister, I definitely understand where scents of fall can be intoxicating and the brisk autumn air is invigorating! The season is, clarifying, brisk, creepy, renewing and so much more! I live in the USA and I would love to win anyone f these scents!

    Savannah’s Heart

  • Really looking forward to colder weather and piles of golden leaves coupled with comforting warm blankets and aromatic drinks in the evenings. The review above leave me feeling comtemplative and planning changes.
    Should i be lucky enough to win i would love the Mona Di Orio. Ii live in the UK – thanks.

  • middleagedandmixed says:

    I love reading how each person is ready to embrace fall/autumn especially with fragrance. I would enjoy try any of the fragrances listed but Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes, Mitzah, Oudh Osmanthus, Ed Idolo Ryder, and Dusita Erawan stick out the most for me.
    Thank you from Seattle!

  • Everyone has such great favorites, but Gail Gross has convinced me that i must try Neil Morris’s Rose Afire. I am a goner for cade! I’m in the US, thanks for the draw.

  • The ones that appeal the most to me in this are mitzah, oud osmanthus, Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes, and erawan. I have big bottle of mitzah while only a small sample of oud osmanthus from the original discovery set. Mitzah and Oud Osmanthus are cult favorites and as the review notices, oud osmanthus is the kind that appeals to selective tastes. I have not tried Erawan but I own the bottle of Oudh Infini from Dussita which I got earlier this year. I have not tried Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes but it intrigues me from the review.

    My choices are Erawan, Oudh Osmanthus, Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes and Shay and Blue Salt Caramel. I am in US

  • What great descriptions – the Victorian London’s men club sounds really cozy, especially when coupled with the “nubby sweater.” Autumn for me doesn’t feel contemplative though but hectic – all the more reason to get calming scents.I would pick Mitzah, Crepuscule des Ames, Ryder, and Frost. I am in the US.

  • Ivan.napoleon says:

    Love al reviews! ID love to win: Merci to Jean-Philippe Clermont for 100ml of Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    Miami Florida Thanks

  • It’s still warm outside, but I’m longing for sweater weather. Each fragrance listed sounds perfect for fall. Walking through a crisp forest, I would choose: Erawan, Crepuscule Des Ames, Ryder, Frost, or Salt Caramel. USA

  • What a great post to kick off the beggining of many favorite re fall France season. I like the changing of colors and the start if burning woods. I’d love to try every one of the perfumes mentioned. Several like shayy blue salt Carmel also always a big fan of atalier and dusita are in my bucket list. Thank you for coordinating a great drawing and I appreciate adding me un the mix

  • BostonScentGuy says:

    Today was the first taste of some cooler weather here, and it felt great to wear Fourreau Noir (the dregs of a bell jar). The chosen fragrances I’m familiar with here (Erawan, Oudh Osmanthus, Ryder) are perfect and the others sound intriguing and full of fun contrasting notes…fitting for the “in between” that fall is. A favorite quote of mine was from the evocative note on Erawan: ” Erawan’s nutritious-gourmand facet of honeyed cereal, toasted nuts and sweet vanilla feels like finding a welcoming farmhouse at the end of a long – but most exhilarating – walk.” Beautiful! Thanks so much for this draw. If I were so lucky to win, I’d love Savannah’s Heart, Erawan, Oudh Osmanthus…though really any of them would be wonderful! I’m in the US.

  • What great picks for fall fragrances. I would like to win Salt caramel first on Shay & blue because I actually was hungry reading Michelyn’s review. I could “Lick my sweetly salted skin” with that perfume and erewan from dusita because it has been on my wish for awhile. Live in USA

  • I love the painting of the fall leaves dancing… what a playful way to depict autumn. This sums it up perfectly: “The extra duvets have been brought out and aired.” Nothing takes away the winter chill like an extra duvet! It hasn’t turned cool here yet, but I’m looking forward to when I, too, can do this. A great lineup for the fall. I’d love to win Olibere Savannah’s Heart, Dusita Erawan, Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus, Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes, Ex Idolo Ryder, or St. Clair Frost. Thank you for the fall suggestions and the generous draw! I’m in the USA.

  • I am in the southern hemisphere so I hope it is okay to mention spring!!

    I have been loving Frederic Malle En Passant – I don’t think you can find a more perfect spring scent. It is pure radiant happiness for the upcoming season in a bottle.

    Also, Teone Reinthal’s May Rose is just the prettiest freshest wet rose – ideal for spring!

    I have Osmanthus Interdite by Parfum d’Empire which I need to start bringing out too.

    And if we are to talk Autumn, even though it is months away – I always reach for amber. Particularly Ambre Russe of course. And I got my hands on Masque Milano Tango yesterday which is just divine!

    I would LOVE to win any of these:
    Marjorie Olibere for 50 ml of Savannah’s Heart
    50 ml of Parfums Dusita Erawan
    Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus
    Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    The Vault fragrance Rose Afire

    I am in Melbourne Australia!

  • I have more autumn fragrances than any others. I am enjoying Liz Zorn’s Anubis ….it is the perfect cool fall day fragrance. I would love to try Savannah’s Heart – sounds different than anything I’ve experienced. Also I like many of the Atelier des Ors fragrances so Crepuscule des Ames sounds interesting. Also Rose Afire sounds lovely.

    THank you for the draw!

  • Autumn has always been my favorite time of year. The beautiful colors and the cooling off from the heat of summer.The description of these fragrances has me filled with the anticipation for trying new fragrances that will work well during this fantastic time of year. The fragrances that interest me the most are Parfums Dusita Erawan, Mona Di Orio Oudh Osmanthus, Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes and Parfums Olibere Savannah’s Heart. I would like to offer my heart felt thanks to all these wonderful Houses for their generosity.

  • Longing for the respite from long hot days. Ryder and Mitzah sound perfect for enjoying a relatively cooler evening with.

    I would like to win:
    Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    Marjorie Olibere Savannah’s Heart
    Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus
    Parfums Dusita Erawan

    I live in Singapore.

  • Wow what a line of fall favorites! Each of you had brilliant choices and what a variety. Fall is such a delightful time of year, the color changes I witnessed today on my drive home from Colorado proved to me that there is a change coming. It may take a bit to rest upon the high desert where I live but I look forward to its stay and the cooler evenings that ride on its sleeves.
    I would love
    Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus
    Parfums Dusita Erawan
    Ex Idolo Ryder
    and a girl can’t have too much Shay and Blue Salt Caramel.
    Thanks to those generous souls that supply the draws, and to the writers for sharing their beautiful favorites.

  • Just Add Light says:

    Colours always put me in the mood for autumn. Ripe fruit, orange leaves and Mariannes description of leafing through literature in a London men’s club with a whiskey at hand. Ideal imagery to describe my vision of the perfect fall. Moreover, the most appealing fragrances to me bring some of these smells to mind – strong woods (Savannah’s heart), damp greenery (Erawan) tobacco and resinous amber (Ex Idolo Ryder). And truth be told, I’m always in the mood. After all, it’s the season when strange and wonderful things happen. From Canada/US.

  • Richard Potter says:

    Fall is without a doubt my favorite season. I am so ready for it! All of these sound appealing to me. I would love to own Erawan or Savannah’s Heart.

  • Scented Hound says:

    This has been a really entertaining experience not only for the read, but the presented images! The frisky dancing leaves, the hilarious fruit head (gorgeous eyes btw, ha!) and the red rose holding that little precious one. Just great stuff! For Autumn, when we are slowly lulled into that drowsier time of year, I crave Ann Onus’s Ex Idolo Ryder. This line from Marianne Butler’s description draws me in to the experience: ” I’m in a Victorian London men’s club, sunk deep in a leather chair, leafing through a book of maps of of the East, whiskey at my elbow…a friend smoking sweet tobacco in his pipe pads by with soft footsteps on the thick oriental carpet. All is well as the wind howls outside.” This sounds magnificent with sweet pipe tobacco, resinous amber and all of those wonderful notes that are perfect for the season. St. Clair’s Frost has my interest also for the woodland quality of notes that smell of forests, campfires and rough earth. Thank you so much to all for this generous giveaway as we turn toward this new season. Waving with gratitude from California!

  • Scented Hound says:

    Correction: Ann Onusko from Indigo Perfumery! (Sorry about that, I am still thinking about those eyes, lol!)

  • “Autumn feels contemplative; I welcome the brisker temperatures and their tonic, invigorating effect.” Ah, if it were only true. Living in the southeastern part of the US means that autumn is only a whisper, not its glorious chilled days with swirling leaves and brisk blue skies. Where I live autumn is not very recognizable. I’d love to win St. Clair’s Frost, Neil Morris Rose Afire, Ex Idolo Ryder, Mona Di Orio Oud Osmanthus, or Atelier Des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes. They all sound awesome even for the warm weather which we don’t dare to call Fall. Thanks for the draw. I’m in the US

  • What puts me in the mood for autumn is planting the wonderful tulip, narcissus etc bulbs, smelling the wonderful wet earth aroma and wondering how these little things that seem so lifeless transform to floral fireworks in a couple of months. Ida captured my feelings perfectly with ” I’m mad for the moldering aromas, cycle of rebirth via decay, its superb array of coloration, moody firmament and waning light.” -couldn’t agree more:)

    I just love the regula Afire and Rose Afire made my fingers itch so that is obvious choice (off to look sample pack of St Clair too:))
    I am from Eu (Finland).

  • Monica Beaton says:

    Even though we’re facing Spring and a hot summer, seeing Nigella dripping in Salted Caramel makes me want to cover myself in the Shay & Blue scent and lick if off – yum. Many thanks to the Perfumers and CaFleurBon for another yummy giveaway. I would be happy with Olibere Savannah’s Heart, Parfums Dusita Erawan, Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus, Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes, or Neil Morris The Vault fragrance Rose Afire. Any of these would make me very happy! I live in Australia

  • Actually the two US only scents Ryder and Frost speak most to me, sigh. But Savannah’s Heart sounds just right for my wife, and she’s a redhead! To win to Germany, thank you for the draw and the generous donations!

  • Margo D'Angelo says:

    I love all the descriptions, but I am leaning toward Shay and Blue Salted Caramel. And what better picture to convey the delectableness than beautiful culinary queen, Nigella Lawson. Thanks for the opportunity!

  • I live for fall and dream of once experiencing it in new England, meanwhile I spend an absurd amount of time picturegoogling it. I think Idas description of fall was perfect! I would love to win Monas oud

  • When I take a look in my cabinet most of my perfumes are autumn proof.
    Autumn is my favorite part of the year…the ephemerality of this season gives me a moment of reflection…

    “the dusky, twilight hours, the magic of animalic sensuality and a glimmer of the mysterious will-o-the-wisp”…this sentence makes me even more longing for the autumn…

    I would love to win the: Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes or the Erawan from Dusita..

  • I very love this article. Indeed, every season has their own beauty. When I was a child, I never liked the autumn, maybe because of the starting of the school and the end of the summer fun, but I can see now the lovely things of it also.

  • Unfortunatly, I have not smelled some of pefumes mentioned in this article, but i like Mona di Orio Oudh Osmanthus: what a nice description, Ida: ” I feel like Persephone emerging from the Underworld, in the very best way…”.
    I like Majda Bekkali Fusion Sacrée Clair too.
    Thank you, Michelyn for this great, interesting draw.
    I like colors in autumn, not cold and not hot weather and opportunity to wear all kind of perfumes-from fresh to heavy.
    I want to win:
    Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus
    Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    Parfums Dusita Erawan
    Marjorie Olibere Savannah’s Heart
    I am from Armenia

  • Wow, great Autumn list! Of the 8 listed, these are four of my favorites:

    Shay and Blue Salt Caramel – This one sounds remarkable – my favorite of the list! The smell and taste of salted caramel always reminds me of autumn, fall festivals and being outside crunching on the leaves while the weather is nice and cool.

    St. Clair Frost – A fragrance that’ll sooth the soul it sounds. It’s also neat to follow Frost’s poem with the fragrance.

    Orio Oudh Osmanthus – I have very little experience with oud but this one sounds magical and I’ve read some spectacular reviews on the softness of the deep smooth fragrance. This one may be my second favorite on the list.

    Ex Idolo Ryder – Tobacco, booze, resins and vanilla?! This is autumn in a bottle. Nothing more needs to be said.

    This line, “leaves are damp underfoot and the air hangs heavy” set the mood for this autumn review and gave me joy for the months to come. Arkansas, USA

  • The mental image of the Victorian London men’s club really put me in the mood. In addition to the cozy description of the men’s club I imagined a fireplace and the cracking of the fire while emitting a warm glow in the room. Very nice!
    If my name came up in the draw I would be happy to try any of the fragrances listed so I guess I’ll just list them in order of preference.
    1) Ex Idolo Ryder
    2) Savannah’s Heart
    3) Crépuscule des Ames
    4) Salt Caramel
    5) Orio Oudh Osmanthus
    6) Dusita Erawan
    7) Frost
    8) Rose Afire
    Thank you,
    Fort Lauderdale, Fl

  • I am patiently waiting for Fall to arrive (still 90 degrees here) but these choices got me thinking about what I am am going to be wearing soon. Having once lived in the Pacific North West, Robert’s description of how he is preparing for the Autumn ahead made me miss the bitter cold. I already own Ryder which is an amazing choice but would be overjoyed to win: Atelier Des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    Majda Bekkali Fusion Sacrée Clair
    Shay & Blue Salt Caramel
    USA

  • Love fall! The weather is beautiful almost everywhere and food-wise, there’s still plenty of late summer fruit and vegetables to go around. I’m amazed at the bounty of offerings for this draw, but here’s the ones I’m interested in, in order of preference (highest to lowest):
    Maison Mona Di Orio Oud Osmanthus
    Shay and Blue Salt Caramel
    Ex Idolo Ryder
    Atelier Des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    Savannah’s Heart
    Dusita Erawan

    I’m in the USA

  • Maianne Butler’s review transports me into an Agatha Christie novel. I love her imagery of a London men’s club. My two favorites are:
    Savanah’s Heart
    Ex Idolo Ryder
    I live in the USA.

  • They all sound amazing for cooler weather! I would love…
    Ex Idolo Ryder
    Shay and Blue Salt Caramel
    Rose Affire
    Savannah’s Heart

  • Autumn brings the cold and shorter days but also the smell of the last flowers, fallen multicoloured leaves and inevitable pumpkin pies. It’s as if nature were trying to say: don’t get sad, Freeze cat, look at my marvellous gifts 🙂 Besides, ’tis the season for chypres!
    All the reviews read like lyrics to beautiful songs, the two I’d play on repeat would be Gail’s ode to Crepuscule des Ames and Despina’s poetic view of Erawan (I LOVE Dusita Parfums, but haven’t tried this one yet).

    I’d be happy to win one of these:
    Marjorie Olibere for 50 ml of Savannah’s Heart
    Parfums Dusita Erawan
    Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus
    Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    Rose Afire Neil Morris

    Thank you for the fantastic fall fragrance draw. I live in Russia

  • Great list. I have and love Ryder and can’t wait for the colder weather to really enjoy it. Most interested in trying Savannah’s Heart, Rose Afire and Crepuscule des Ames – though it’s Frost that sounds like such a nice combo of contrasts, which seems about right for the fall transition from hot to cold.

  • Tom Schroeder says:

    First of all, the pictures accompanying the article just put me in a relaxed Autumn spirit. My favorites are Promenade of Autumn Mihai Christe, Photo by Der Peiber, and Haystacks Claude Monet. The fragrances that most appeal to me based on the descriptions are: Savannah’s Heart (Luca Maffei), Parfums Dusita Erawan, Shay and Blue Salt Caramel, and Ex Idolo Ryder capture my imagination the most for fall. I already have Dior Mitzah, and Atelier Des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes, both very enjoyable. I live in California, USA.

  • Ida said “Autumn feels contemplative; I welcome the brisker temperatures and their tonic, invigorating effect.” Same! Also found myself nodding along to the mention of the myth of Persephone. In some ways autumn feels more like a “new year” than actual new year’s day per the calendar. Autumn’s poignant, magical mood makes it my favorite time of year. It’s been a soggy, warm summer and I can’t wait for a crisp autumn breeze. It doesn’t hurt that cooler days embolden me to reach for the very richest, most indulgent, moodiest perfumes.

    I’m in the US, and in order, would be over to moon to win…

    Dusita Erawan
    Mona Di Orio Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus
    Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    Neil Morris The Vault Rose Afire
    Ex Idolo Ryder
    Shay and Blue Salt Caramel
    Olibere Savannah’s Heart
    St. Clair Frost

    Thank you! 🙂

  • With the leaves on the way of change, with fall almost at our door. It is becoming the were the fall fragrances are coming out. With this giveaway I would like to be entered for these falls, Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes, Ex Idolo Ryder, Parfums Dusita Erawan. Thank you, Live in the US

  • I liked the review for Erawan as it seems to be one that really floats my boat. Adding that I have a weak spot for fougere fragrances and the fact that Parfums Dusita is still an unknown house to my nose, makes me want Erawan even more.

    I am in Europe and my pick is Erawan (of course) and Crepuscule des Ames (because of the beautiful name).

    Thank you!

  • Great article! I am like Despina who said- ‘After a long, hot summer, and amidst a still warm, dry September, I find myself craving for natural-smelling, mind-clearing, soul-soothing fragrances.’ Also, what Ida said resonated to me: ‘I treasure all the seasons, but I fear that autumn tends to usurp pride of place. I’m mad for the moldering aromas, cycle of rebirth via decay, its superb array of coloration, moody firmament and waning light. Autumn feels contemplative; I welcome the brisker temperatures and their tonic, invigorating effect.’

    I hope to win any of these scents:
    Dusita Erawan
    Atelier des Ors Crepusule des Amesbury
    Savanah’s Heart 
    The Vault Rose Afire
    Mona di Orio’s Orio Oudh Osmanthus

    Ish Manila, Philippines

  • I love these articles which features your contributor’s eclectic tastes. I love autumn–was out buying pumpkin and smoke candles yesterday–If I won I would pick the beautiful Erawan, or I have been curious about Savannah’s Heart as it has been mentioned several times here. Thanks for the article. USA

  • Waldo favorite says:

    Great collaborative article, beautiful texts and intriguing perfume suggestions by all!

    My favourite reviews were by Despina (“[Erawan’s notes] transport me to long walks through autumn forests, and countryside landscapes with hay stacks and fields ready for harvest; meanwhile, Erawan’s nutritious-gourmand facet of honeyed cereal, toasted nuts and sweet vanilla feels like finding a welcoming farmhouse at the end of a long – but most exhilarating – walk.”, and by Marianne (“I’m in a Victorian London men’s club, sunk deep in a leather chair, leafing through a book of maps of of the East, whiskey at my elbow…somewhere in the room is someone who’s a recent embrace from a jasmine scented lady…. a friend smoking sweet tobacco in his pipe pads by with soft footsteps on the thick oriental carpet. All is well as the wind howls outside.”)

    I live in EU, and I would love to win any of these scents:

    100 ml Atelier des Ors Crepusule des Amesbury
    50 ml Dusita Erawan
    100 ml Shay and Blue Salt Caramel
    50 ml Savanah’s Heart
    30 ml The Vault Rose Afire
    10 ml Mona di Orio’s Orio Oudh Osmanthus

    Thank you!

  • I like Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes,
    Shay and Blue Salt Carame and The Vault Rose Afire.
    “Reminiscent of woodsmoke from a chimney, falling leaves, and rare, rich mulchy soil, Diane St. Clair’s tribute to American poet Robert Frost is the quintessential Fall fragrance”. This quote and the pictures of falling leaves reminds me of autumn.
    I live in California.

  • I liked seeing that rhubarb is showing up in some fall leaning fragrances. The 2 fragrances I own with rhubarb are more spring/summer. I enjoyed how with Savannah’s heart how with the trees swaying you could hear the lions roaring. I have heard some perfume critics don’t care for gourmand. I don’t care for the overly sweet ones myself, but there are so many well done gourmand’s in the market. I’d love to win:

    Salt Caramel or Savannah’s Heart

    Thanks for the reminder that fall isn’t so bad after all. I don’t like to see summer go, but I do enjoy getting out my heavier fall fragrances. Loved the article. USA.

  • I’m already and ALWAYS in the mood for autumn. Like Ida M, “I welcome the brisker temperatures and their tonic, invigorating effect.” We had (IMHO) a particularly icky summer here, too hot and too humid. Today it is bright cool and dry – “GLORIOUS,” I exclaimed last hour as I emerged from my dark apartment. I loved all the images conjured, explicit and implied…sweaters, crackling leaves, campfires, apples, pumpkins, open windows….the colors orange and brown. The Promenade of Autumn! This is also my favorite perfume season as I am most attracted to orientals and gourmands. To be honest I’d be grateful to get my hands and snoot on any of these; but I would choose as most appealing (in nor particular order) – Salt and Caramel, Rose Afire, Savannah’s Heart, Crepuscule des Ames, and Ryder. Thanks very much from New York, New York!

  • Of what I’d like to win, the Shay and Blue Salt Caramel. The Crepuscule Des Ames seems great too from the note breakdown on the Harrods site.
    Im in the US
    I prefer the spring and summer, but what I like about fall is the rich and darker smells. Like the spices, cider etc. These fragrances seem like they have those notes.
    thanks for the draw

  • Seems like a really good top ten list. Haven’t tried any of these before
    Some I have heard of. I’d like to go with Shay and Blue, Rose Afire, Ex Idolo Ryder and Erawan. The colors that come with Autumn and being able to wear a bit more of darker fragrances are appealing. Thanks for the giveaway. California

  • I smelled Erawan once and I found it really lovely. I think Despina described it perfectly and it’s a perfect choice for autumn. So my choice would be Erawan! Thanks for the draw! I live in France.

    Miami Florida Thanks .

  • Sérgio Teixeira says:

    Michelyn just puts me in the mood for some of my favorites for fall, the gourmandes!!! “…slightly smoky caramelized musks, vanilla, sandalwood and tonka bean paints this perfume with tawny golden hues that is frankly sensual…” what’s there not to like? Love your reviews and love Fall (or Autumn as we call it in Portugal).
    Would love to have a chance to win one of these:
    Savannah’s Heart
    Parfums Dusita Erawan
    Maison Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus
    Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    The Vault fragrance Rose Afire
    Shay and Blue 100ml ml of Shay and Blue Salt Caramel
    Thank you

  • Autumn is my favorite season and at last it feels like it’s on its way these last few days. Ida sums up my feelings so well (“I’m mad for the moldering aromas, cycle of rebirth via decay, its superb array of coloration, moody firmament and waning light. Autumn feels contemplative; I welcome the brisker temperatures and their tonic, invigorating effect.”) and I’m excited to read about all these autumnal scents. The ones that appeal to me most are:

    Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Ames
    Shay and Blue Salt Caramel
    Parfums Dusita Erawan
    Ex Idolo Ryder
    Savannah’s Heart
    Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus
    The Vault fragrance Rose Afire

    I’m in the US Thanks so much for the recommendations and reviews! And the draw, of course!

  • I enjoyed this article and what I liked most was the review for Fusion Sacree Clair. I do not know it, but it makes me wonder after it was described as a fruity one that slowly turns into a vanilla and tolu balsam heaven. Also, for me, a fruity fragrance is not something I would associate with autumn, but this one appears to be a creation that contradicts my idea.

    I would love to get to test Erawan, Crepuscule des Ames and Savannah’s Heart as I am from EU.

    Thanks!

  • So many lovely fragrances! I am from the EU and would love to test Crepescule des Ames, Erawan,Fusion Sacre, Savannahs Heart.

  • Autumn is my favorite season! I loved the review by Despina Veneti! “After a long, hot summer, and amidst a still warm, dry September, I find myself craving for natural-smelling, mind-clearing, soul-soothing fragrances.” Although I love warm, sweet, balsamic, resinous scents for autumn, this year I am looking for this clear soul-soothing moment, too.

    My choices:
    – Parfums Dusita Erawan,
    – The Vault fragrance Rose Afire,
    – Shay and Blue Salt Caramel,
    – Atelier Des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes,
    – Mona di Orio Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus ,
    – Marjorie Olibere Savannah’s Heart

    Thank you so much,
    I am from Latvia, EU

  • My most favorite perfumes are the cozy ones that are especially suitable for fall or winter. That’s the best thing about fall. But fall isn’t my favorite time of year, that would be Summer. Fall can be nice when the weather outside is awefull and I can stay in, but mainly I feel something sad about fall, when the leaves are falling and nature is preparing itself for winter.
    My choices are:
    Dusita Erawan
    Atelier De Ors Crepescule des Ames

    Thank you all the givers and Cafleurebon for this wonderful draw!

  • The review of Frost by St. Clair Scents put me in an autumnal mood. I love the image of the well-worn book of verse, carried in a “woods-tromping” jacket. I enjoyed reading all these reviews; I think autumn must be the most sensual season.

    My choices:
    -Frost by St. Clair Scents
    -Savannah’s Heart
    -Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    -Ex Idolo Ryder

    I live in the USA.

  • Ida’s favorite season is Fall and so is mine! I love the smells in the air, the fall baking, the colors of the changing leaves. If I won this draw I would love either of:

    Erawan, Salt Caramel, Crepuscule des Ames, or Oudh Osmanthus

    I’m in the U.S. Thanks!

  • All sound luscious but I am drawn to Atelier Des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes(Twilight Of The Souls). The mention of will o the wisp and I was in that magical twilight when all things seem possible.
    I am in the UK.
    Thank you for such a great draw.

  • Everyone did a great job I could smell them !
    I was attracted to Shay and blue salt caramel and the Atelier des Ors Crepuscule des Âmes
    Thank you
    I live in Portland Oregon
    Have a blessed Day

  • I liked Michelyn’s view on Shay & Blue Salt Caramel. As I am a big fan of salty caramel from chocolate to ice-cream, cakes and beyond, I think that this one would also be a hit in my books. Love the picture Michelyn chose as well! Therefore my choice if I were to win is Salt Caramel, but if I am not that lucky, but still amongst the other winners I would also like to put my nose on Erawan or Crepuscule des Ames.

    EU reader here. Thanks!

  • That review of Mitzah, with its descriptions of all things cozy, certainly got me in the mood for fall. I live in USA and would be interested in Savannah’s Heart, Rose Afire, Erawan, Atelier des Ors, and Frost.

  • The description of fall in the Pacific Northwest sounds like my ultimate dream-come-true destination…alas, I live in the desert heat of the Southwest but a girl can dream, right? Nearly all these perfumes sound like my style and if I were to choose I would select the Shay and Blue Salt Caramel, Diane St. Claire Frost, Savannah’s Heart, Dusita Erawan, Mona di Orio Oudh Osmanthus, Atelier des Ors Crespuscule des Ames or The Vault’s Rose Afire. I am in the U s. Thank you for the chance!

  • I’m in love with St. Claire Scent’s “First Cut” and it is also a wonderful fall option; golden hay and honey to match the golden autumn light.

    I’d love to try “Frost” thanks to Robert Hermann: “Frost is the olfactive equivalent of a tattered and earmarked book of verse you might carry in your favorite wool “woods-tromping” jacket. It smells of forests, campfires, and the slumbering earth.”

    I’d also be interested in trying Sea Salt Caramel. Yum!I’m in the US. Many thanks to all the wonderful perfumers and retailers for sharing with us.

  • Nothing like the fall when you’re a September soul- somehow, it feels you’re going home… or South.

    I’m in the US, and should I be so lucky to win I’d like to try the Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes or Erawan, please.

  • Fall is a bit of a hit and miss season for me.Sometimes i hate it , sometimes i love it .When i think about fall first thing that comes to mind is the novel “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” .. you never know if you’ll get Dr Henry Jekyll or some crazy physical alterations of the evil Edward Hyde.
    I’d like to win in no particular order:
    -50 ml of Savannah’s Heart
    I do like dry woody-fruity fragrances , plus cofee is my 2nd favorite fragrance note.Not familiar with this fragrance ,but i’ll sample it.Thank you Ermano Picco.

    -50 ml of Parfums Dusita Erawan – i do own small samole of Erawan and i love it.

    -100ml ml of Shay and Blue Salt Caramel . I had this one , but i finished my bottle ~mid march.In a league of its own kind of fragrance.I don’t care about compliments-i wear what i like,but Salt Caramel gets me HUGE amount of compliment.Plus just like miss Michelyn Camen i do love gourmands for fall.

    Thank you all for this draw – both CaFleurebon,contributors and brands.
    Virginia USA or London UK 97/100 times.

  • Despina’s “warm, dry September” hasn’t arrived yet in my part of the U.S.; I’m longing for it! If the weather stays cool and rainy, though, I’d like to retreat to Marianne’s London club, surrounded by smoky, boozy aromas. It would be wonderful to win Ex Idolo Ryder, Parfums Dusita Erawan, Les Nombres di Orio Oudh Osmanthus, or Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes. Thanks for the draw.

  • Thank you for a lovely roundup and draw! I especially loved the poetic review of Frost, which I have tried and like very much. Your review inspired me to look up and read the poem that inspired it! I would be delighted with any of these, in no particular order:

    Ex Idolo Ryder
    Crépuscule des Ames
    Orio Oudh Osmanthus
    Dusita Erawan
    Frost
    Rose Afire

  • I enjoyed reading this as Fall is my favorite season! I absolutely enjoy the leaves changing, the cooler weather, and the lead up to the holiday season. Robert Herrmann mentions his Mitzah like ” well-loved nubby sweater ” which is a favorite scent for me in fall. I live in the US and would love to win any of these:

    Dusita Erawan
    Ex Idolo Ryder
    Atelier des Ors Crépuscule des Âmes
    Shay and Blue Salt Caramel
    Rose Afire

  • O, yes, there are definitely 2 my favourites brands in the draw, Parfumes Dusita and Maison Mona Di Orio. I love autumn as a scent season, I always waiting for September to start using heavier autumn scents. Great draw. I live in Poland.
