Our team loves to try new things and share their impressions. Therefore, this time each of us chose a bottle, to which a hand reached, and talked about the aroma with which he will meet this autumn. And someone could not stop at one and continue to search.

L’Interdit Intense Eau de Parfum от Givenchy, 5977 рублей

First of all, I was impressed by the stylish glossy black bottle. A true haute couture creation. The aroma itself turned out to be interesting too – bright and tickling nostrils of black pepper, semolina tuberose surrounded by orange blossom and almost edible fried sesame seeds. I confess that I tried sesame seeds for the first time in perfumery. And I was pleasantly surprised. The fragrance has every chance of becoming my favorite this fall.

Top notes: black pepper;

Middle notes: orange blossom, roasted sesame and tuberose absolute;

Base notes: vetiver, patchouli and Madagascar vanilla.

World Power EDT from Kenzo, 4115 rubles 

Kenzo’s new flanker turned out to be as bright and creative as the bottle design. It has everything – salt, sweetness, bitterness, powder, and softness. The very case when all the contradictions are smoothed out and form something new. Seeing, breathing in, feeling, living – this is what I want to do when I am in this scent. He, like a second skin, becomes an extension of me and my mood.

Top notes: immortelle, powdery notes;

Middle notes: salt, tonka beans;

Hermessence Cuir d’Ange by Hermes, 21 rubles

If an angel decided to become a human, then he would definitely start with this scent. It has heavenly heights, earthly sorrow, Vishnevsky’s ointment, cold sand and many, many delicate suede, sprinkled with fresh powder. The aroma is ambiguous and will appeal to lovers of philosophy and exquisite perfume compositions.

Notes: heliotrope, hawthorn, violet, daffodil, musk, leather.

Sacred Earth from Cosmogony from Brocard, 8500 rubles

Walk in nature alone. Calming autumn forest, rustle of leaves, sun glare in hair, cry of ducks flying in the sky, some autumn flowers and ripe figs. Where do figs come from in our area? Probably, someone took it with them to a picnic, and with it a thermos of green tea.

Top notes: tea, ivy, pink pepper;

Middle notes: hyacinth, figs, water jasmine;  

Base notes: tonka beans, cedar, vetiver.  

Bubble Bath by Maison Martin Margiela, 10 490 rubles 

What does the morning smell like in the bathroom? Overlooked dreams, freshness, cleanliness, bubbles, coconut body lotion, lavender cream and jasmine. This is about the whole fragrance. I use it when I can’t decide on my mood and desires. He, like a cleansing soul, clarifies consciousness and helps to look at reality with a new look.

Top notes: soap, bergamot and pink pepper;

Middle notes: jasmine absolute, rose and lavender;

Base notes: white musk, patchouli and coconut. 

Chicago High by Vilhelm Parfumerie, 11 950 rubles

When I taste this fragrance, I am mentally transported to the era of the 20s, to which it is dedicated. Ladies with beautiful hairstyles in silk dresses with mouthpieces in hand, men in tuxedos with cigars and cognac. Puffs of smoke, loud music and dancing until the morning. A couple of pips and it looks like you’re at a Gatsby-style party. Better not to overdo it with him. 

Top notes: champagne, pineapple and bergamot;

Middle notes: honey and tobacco;

Base notes: leather, patchouli and amber.

And in order to make the scent more strict and turn from an evening into a daytime one, I recommend using it together with a perfumed body and hair spray. All over spray Morning Chess by Vilhelm Parfumerie. It combines leather notes with bitter greens of galbanum and warm black amber. Then no one will guess that you have completely different plans for the evening.

Tuscan Emotion by Ermanno Scervino, 6950 rubles

When I inhale this scent, I imagine myself in spring Tuscany. Gardens bloom everywhere, clean and transparent air, blue sky, gentle sunbeams, morning dew on flower petals. And I, beautiful and smart, walk through the blooming gardens with a cup of jasmine tea in my hands. So I don’t want to return to reality. I would have sniffed my wrist all day.

Top notes: bergamot, Italian lemon and pear;

Middle notes: rose, freesia, marigold, mate, dew and jasmine;

Base notes: ambroxan, musk and cedar.

First Date of Turkish Rose from Avon, 1199 rubles 

Rose for the first date – this is what Avon says about her. Agree, I could very well wear this scent on a date. It has all the ingredients to make you feel irresistible – flower petals, fruit nectar, some strawberries and plums, and a cozy vanilla-sandalwood cloud. What else is needed for complete happiness? Only a handsome prince on a white horse, on a date with whom I will go.

Top notes: bergamot, plum, wild strawberry;

Middle notes: damask rose, peony, magnolia;

Base notes: sandalwood, vanilla, musk.

Rose Pompom Eau de Parfum by Annick Goutal, 8500 rubles 

Ode to the rose. Red, pink, shimmering … somewhere in the background violets are barely audible. And in the foreground, juicy raspberries stand out. A scent that awakens the desire to get raspberries to grandmother’s garden. Or at least go to the nearest supermarket for a raspberry tartlet. Delicate, feminine and juicy. My find for this fall.

Top notes: raspberries;

Middle notes: Bulgarian rose, Taif rose and violet;

Base notes: vanilla.

212 VIP Rosé Red by Carolina Herrera, 1990 rubles

Perhaps, everything that can only be red was put here – a ripe tomato and sweet raspberry liqueur, a burgundy red Bulgarian rose and hot spices. It turned out mega bright, mega sweet and mega red. This is a fragrant red dress in which it is impossible to go unnoticed.

Top notes: tomato and raspberry liqueur;

Middle notes: Bulgarian rose, tiramisu and hot spices;

Base notes: patchouli and musk.

Eau de parfum Le Gemme Imperiali Desiria, Bvlgari, price on request

This line has a very interesting history. Its creation was inspired by the jewelry of the jewelry house, so the luxury here is literally inscribed in the DNA of the perfume. Desiria translates as “desire”, and the perfumers managed to conclude a cocktail of temptation and passion in a small bottle. The seduction begins with light notes of magnolia, smoothly turning into rose accords and leaving a slight musky aftertaste. I am sure that the owner of such a perfume can turn the head of more than one man.

Notes: magnolia, rose, musk.

La Vamp by Bouge

Berry passions revived in reality. There are so many fruits, berries and black truffle in the aroma that when you are in it, everyone wants to come up close and bite you. And people, and bees, and mosquitoes. I would not recommend wearing it in the summer in order to avoid fruit and berry overdose. But autumn and winter are definitely its time.

Top notes: bergamot, kumquat, apricot, kinglet, neroli, black truffle;

Middle notes: peony rose, orange blossom, Chinese magnolia, osmanthus;

Base notes: geosmin, oakmoss, white musk, nutmeg, ylang-ylang, vanilla, immortelle.

Very Sexy Sea from Victoria’s Secret, 6297 rubles

If you apply this scent and close your eyes, you will immediately find yourself somewhere on the Italian coast. I directly physically feel the touch of the Mediterranean Sea and the soft rays of the sun. And there are also a lot of citruses, which Italians love so much. Here it is, salvation, from isolation and sitting at home. Apply – and you are no longer here.

Top notes: Italian bergamot;  

Middle notes: neroli;

Base notes: cedar.

Men’s fragrance Bvlgari Man Glacial Essence, 6745 rubles.

The new fragrance from Bvlgari is a real find that allows you to feel the freshness of endless mountain glaciers without leaving your apartment. Despite the fact that the refreshing notes of the novelty are intended for the warm period, the fragrance can be safely used in autumn and even in winter. The minimalistic design of the bottle, made in gentle blue tones, should also be noted.

Top notes: geranium, ginger, juniper berries;

Middle notes: wormwood (artemisia), sandalwood, lily;

Base notes: woody accord, cedar, musk.
