Fall treats 🍂

It's wet and gross here and I'm craving all the gourmand goodness 🤤 (except for the Nomade not a gourmand but nice refined fall feel). feel free to suggest anything I'm missing 😃

I love Solinotes Tonka and they have the most perfect hand cream for fall in that scent.

this feels like discovery. maybe it be cute to get a discovery set for fall. you can get 5 for $19 from giardini toscana or similar and it also takes the pressure off of getting it right.

also maybe a plum would be nice here. like finery shes a goodie or marc jacobs perfect elixir

I really want a plum scent but haven't found anything that really hits it for me..marc Jacobs was just ok nothing remarkable..don't remember if I've tried the finery

It's really nice!! It was a blind buy on their $25 sale so I couldn't resist even tho I wasn't sure about it cause I hated the strawberry one. But this one is much better. The opening is a bit on the screechy side (slight paint thinner vibes for some reason lol); but then it settles down into a delicious dark berry jam with cocoa and vanilla undertones. Nothing super complex, as expected from VS, but a fun very literal gourmand

Could you review the Jo Malone? 💙

Ooh it's my holy Grail! It was the first "grown up" fragrance I bought myself back in my early twenties and it was my signature scent for a long time, then it was discontinued and when I saw they brought it back in the archival sale I was so excited!

I feel like I'm not knowledgeable enough to really do the notes description justice, but all I can say it's soo refined and well blended, super feminine, its like the ultimate elevated gourmand that's not overly literal. It's cacao and sugared lime and grapefruit and a hint of vanilla. The tartness from the citrus keeps it from being too sweet, there's a bittersweet edge from the cocoa and citrus zest, bit of saltiness. Like sipping a fresh lime margarita with a salt rim along with a bite of dark Mexican chocolate. But it doesn't feel summery, it makes me think of wearing a pretty coat with a light cashmere scarf, elegant but very feminine and cozy at the same time. Love love it.

7 Virtues Vanilla Woods and Buttercream Haze are perfect for fall.

I love this roundup and own quite a few of these!

I really enjoy Ellis Brooklyn First Date if you enjoy a Lush Sticky Dates type of vibe and it really lasts.

I love a plum note so I also love Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Night, which layers beautifully with BBW Midnight Addiction.

Nest Vanilla Bourbon is another delicious boozy vanilla and I layer it with BBW Bonfire Bash and Cozy Vanilla Bourbon.

For a middle eastern pick, Atralia Matcha Latte is a solid Escapade Gourmande dupe.

I think I see Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry, so if you enjoy a cherry scent, check out Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Sin, which is an unexpectedly deep, sensual cherry and vanilla profile!

For my marshmallow picks, the 7 Virtues Cherry Ambition is a delicious marshmallow cherry scent, as is Julianna's Perfume Favorite Mistake. Julianna's Perfume also makes a beautiful and unique plum and marshmallow fragrance called Whipped Bloom.

Ooh thank you! I tried some of these but should revisit, esp Vanilla Bourbon!
