What are your favorite fragrances for fall? Leave me a comment and let me know! Thanks for watching!!!

[@mattl7424]

Xerjoff - Tony iomi, Naxos, YSL BABY CAT, Navitus Divine Aphrodisiac

[@ScentSiblingsDotCA]

You're one of the very first perfume reviewers I ever watched; your videos are informative, your fragrances are varied, you're knowledgable and professional, you always include the perfumer whenever possible (that's so IMPORTANT!!), and your descriptions are to the point but expressive. I'm so glad you're back! I LOVE fall and fall fragrances, and you're introducing me to a few I've not heard of. Thanks so much for this!

[@Olfactofiles]

As always, you are too kind! Thanks for being a great friend and supporter!

[@steliosc.4686]

Fougere D Argent is beautiful and criminally underrated. Great video and choices!

[@Olfactofiles]

Thank you!!!

[@bebright123]

Looking forward to wearing my Guerlain Angelique Noire again when the weather cools off a bit! It’s still too warm here in Ohio. 🥵

[@whom_i5753]

My faves for fall: Gris Charnel BdK, Initio Rehab, Serge Lutens Chergui, Black phantom by Kilian and Baraonda Nasomatto :D

[@GretaBeth]

I just received my Dusita order and Issara is phenomenal!

[@Olfactofiles]

Yay! So glad you love it, too!

[@ultraviolettas]

Tara, have you tried Guerlain L’heure Bleu? It seems right up your alley, and it’s perfect for fall!

[@linzeeb4]

I adore Nordic Cedar! Cedar and cardamom are two of my favorite notes, and they're done so well together in that fragrance.

[@Olfactofiles]

Completely agree! It's beautiful!

[@Scents4em]

We have similar taste! Issara, Teisenddu, Tardes and Angels’ Share (my SOTD) are all on my fall list. Adding to my fall list: Bois Doré, Musc Ravageur, Narcisse Taiji from Atelier Materi, and Ambre Nuit from Dior.

[@Olfactofiles]

I almost put 3 of those on the list as well! Love them but need to smell that Atelier Materi.

[@mrgrimmer7997]

Issara is indeed one of the best fall fragrances I have smelled, although Erawan is probably my favorite. Since you mentioned Diptyque, Eau Duelle EDT and Tempo are probably my most worn fall fragrances, but Volutes has grown on me over time. While not super high quality, Costume National Homme is imo the perfect late fall early winter casual fragrance, reminds me of chai and raisin buns with a bun of cinnamon and a bit of sandalwood, it's also fairly unisex.

[@phoebechristina]

I knew this list was gonna be good when you opened with Volutes! It's very underrated. I love it so much.

[@Olfactofiles]

Me too! Thank you!

[@scentologie1293]

So looking forward to my warm cozy frags as well as the beast monsters! :) Lavandes Trianon, Milk+, Rosé All Daé, Lira, Dolce Amalfi, Bronze Tonka, Black Orchid, Italica, Sandal Ruby.. Vanille Havane is prob my fave. I tend to mesh this season with winter - it’s colder here than a lot of places - and stretch it as far as I can. Usually through March, when I begin pulling out my winter/spring floral beauties. Our warm months are usually only July/august and then it eases to cool foggy mornings with slightly warm afternoons..

[@playsintraffic2]

TF Tobacco Vanille, Room 1015 Cherry Punk, Phlur Hepcat

[@Olfactofiles]

Hepcat has always sounded good to me but I've never been able to sample it!

[@paigeofstylez]

Freaking awesome list. Definitely bangers 🔥🔥🔥

[@Olfactofiles]

Thanks, Paige!

[@linzeeb4]

Issara is lovely! It's one of my sister's all time favorites. My favorite Dusita fragrance is Moonlight in Changmai.

[@Olfactofiles]

I like Moonlight in Changmai as well!

[@lesleyrulli850]

My fall/Winter favs are Dior Hypnotic Poison, Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt, Mon Guerlain,Miss Dior .Versace Crystal Noir, Baccarat Rouge

[@AryxJG]

This is an excellent list! I’m in love with Hermes Ambre Narguillé but not the price tag. Someone gifted me Initio Side Effect which is a nice substitute but it doesn’t compare in complexity and airiness to the Hermes. Cheers from Canada.

[@Olfactofiles]

Yes, the Hermes is very pricey! I was able to get it at 20% off, but that was still a lot. Side Effect is really as well, though!

[@hyperkoool1]

Im totally looking forward to fall, I love this time of year for fragrances. Cannot wait to wear Elie Saab Amande Tonka, boozy cinnamony tonka which I love. Also Kayali Invite only, for some reason I get a very sexy boozy dark coconut in that scent. Another one is THOO Dates Delight, warm spiced sweet dates. And ofcourse Teissendu! Absolutely love that fragrance.

[@Olfactofiles]

Excellent choices! Those are all absolutely perfect for fall!!!

[@tigeygirl]

Omg! You like a perfume with mimosa! The Maison Violet has mimosa. It’s 110 here today so it’s hard to think of fall fragrances. Great list though. Thanks.

[@Olfactofiles]

🤣🤣🤣 Wonders never cease?! Geez! That's crazy! It's been raining here so it cooled off a lot.

[@SocaTrain]

Dusita and Frassai…two of my fave houses 😍😍

[@Olfactofiles]

Yes! They are both great!

[@raq79]

my favorite season has arrived and thus my fav perfumes will enter my rotation. my favs:Teissendu,divine vanilla, gentle fluidity, El born,tobacco vanille, Rose all dae

[@Olfactofiles]

Those are all perfect for fall! Great choices!!!

[@justaddlight]

🥰🥰🥰 Perfect timing! Finally went below 70 where I'm at today. 🍁Finally get to wear A*Men. 😁 Loving the attire Tara! Definitely looks like it would fit Nordic Cedar. 🌲 And a superb 10 overall. Fougere d'Argent a lovely and creamy barbershop lavender without the sharpness in Beau de Jour. And Ambre Narguile an autumn staple! We'll be expecting Angels' Share on the winter list. 😉 Ps, John Pegg just released a flanker of Follow called Followed, adding chocolate and caramel. I'd love to get your take on it sometime. 😊

[@Olfactofiles]

Thanks, Doni! I actually filmed another video talking about new releases I want to try and that one is at the top of my list!

[@justaddlight]

@@Olfactofiles YaY!!! ☕ You know what they say about great minds!....Theyyy'rrrrre Great! 🐯

[@mashavliegen4436]

Autumn is my favorite season too ❤. Not only the fact that I was born in September 😂 but I love everything that comes to it. And of course changing fragrances into warmer and sweeter is always exciting. I am so happy you spoil us with more and more videos these days .❤

[@Nehasharma-le5hh]

I am September born too. What day?

[@Olfactofiles]

Thanks, Masha! I feel exactly the same way! Happy birthday!!!

[@robinwhite4050]

I love Iris, so I’m intrigued with Iris Empire.

[@Olfactofiles]

Me too! It's a great one!

[@Joss-Fragrance-Mixology]

I adore fall too and I’m so excited that it’s coming up again! 🧡🧡🧡Love your fall lineup Tara, quite lovely!

[@Olfactofiles]

Thanks, Joss! Yes, definitely my favorite time for fragrance!

[@thebridewearsblack]

I have decants or samples that I can't wait to try with colder weather: Iris Malinkhân (Maison Crivelli), Rosendo Mateu Nº 5, Santal Pao Rosa (Guerlain), Lune Feline (ADO), Black Phantom (Killian), Ani (Nishane), Milk Expressive (Commodity). I am so excited to test them during Autumn. My full bottles that are waiting to be used on colder weather are: Gris Charnel Extrait (BDK), Libre Intense (YSL), Tobbaco Maniac (Theodoros Kalotinis), Oh La La (Teo Cabanel), Arabians Tonka (Montale), Psychedelich Love (Initio), This is Her! (Z&V), Jaipur Chai (Ineke) and Angel Muse (Mugler); although some of these would suit winter better 🥴. I really want to try Ambre Narguille, Volutes and the private Collection of CH. Also want to sample Frassai perfumes and Cuir Beluga is calling my name.

[@Olfactofiles]

I think you are really going to love those samples! I've tried all but one. I want to try the new parfum version of Libre as I do quite enjoy the intense.

[@RobertUWL]

wow what a lovely channel - so much passion and knowledge and lots of new discoveries for me! thanks! also you are beautiful. my tip for you would be Daniel Josier Ambre Tabac its like ambre narguile and oajan in one ;) and a top price too - cheers from austria!

[@cash1365]

initio side effect is a great fall and winter fragrance I'll always keep that in my collection

[@Olfactofiles]

Yes, that one works great in cooler weather!

[@celia5132]

Tara, are you planning to do an updated collection video this year?😀

[@Olfactofiles]

I need to, don't I? I will plan that for fall break when I have some time off work. Those videos are usually quite an undertaking.

[@celia5132]

@@Olfactofiles yay!!! I am so looking forward to the series🤩 thank you

[@Olfactofiles]

@@celia5132 of course! Thanks for reminding me!

[@pippajonesbeauty8305]

Hi! Thanks for the great list! Pourpre D'Automne by Violet for early fall. Intoxicated and Apple Brandy by Kilian for later fall.

[@Olfactofiles]

Oh yes! Those are both phenomenal!

[@perfeptions]

Good point Tara! And one of the first perfumes, Jicky by Guerlain, actually is a Fougere and was targeted towards women ☺️😘

[@Olfactofiles]

Yes! That is an excellent example! Thank you!

[@perfeptions]

@@Olfactofiles thank you for this beautiful selection 💗

[@TheScentinel]

On this list, i've only tried the Guerlain and the Hermes, but based on your reaction i want to try the Air du Apogee. Thanks for making an interesting and varied list, Tara.

[@Olfactofiles]

You should definitely try Un Air d'Apogee. I think it would smell great on you!

[@TheTopNote]

I really enjoy that hay-like element combined with the soft iris-y/suede-y and tobacco base. Pep I’ll send you a sample!

[@TheScentinel]

@@TheTopNote you'll just bring it to Melbourne, right?😁

[@Olfactofiles]

@@TheScentinel you'll have to let me know what you think after you get a chance to try it!

[@pocopico7409]

Love Ambre Narguile, too!

[@Olfactofiles]

Yes! It's fantastic!

[@Noelle1210]

Great picks! Iris Empire is one of my favorite Iris fragrances, too. Love that whole line!

[@Olfactofiles]

Me too! So many fantastic options in that collection!

[@fenixcharlotte]

Please do the Me in a bottle video I’m so curious💙

[@Olfactofiles]

Hey Fenix! I will have to check out that tag. I am so out of the loop lately. LOL!

[@laurakateschnitzer42]

What a great list! I completely agree about Issara. I've almost used up an 8 ml decant and am about to go for a FB. Can't wait to try some others you've mentioned here!

[@Olfactofiles]

Thank you, Laura! Glad you love Issara as well!

[@TheEagleslover]

What an excellent list. I can personally vouch for Iris Empire (thanks to Dr. Rose for sending me decants) and of course watyour video of the CH line. I have two to go and I'll have them all. Fall is my favorite time of year and now I have more fragrances to try. Hermes sounds intriguing and so many others.

[@Olfactofiles]

Yes! That line is so good! Thank you!

[@maschakarpova4836]

Really nice selection! Our tastes are so similar :) and as others have mentioned, I appreciate so much the way you talk about your fragrances and the perfumers behind them! Fall is also my favorite season of all and first and foremost I always get out my Lipstick On from Maison Margiela. That has been my „me in a bottle“ fragrance for many year now and I especially associate it with fall (and since it’s discontinued and I have only one full bottle left, I save it for the fall only) Im also looking forward to wearing Tardes, Baraonda, Feve Deliciouse, L‘air du desert, and trusty old Narciso for Women (the black - it’s such a trench coat scent in my mind :D) I’ve been wanting to try Issara for a while now, think it will make it into my next sample purchase for sure

[@Olfactofiles]

Thank you so much! You clearly have great taste! ;) You have some great picks for fall as well!

[@jsanders2993]

Thanks for the great reviews! Several sound like fragrances I would like to try. Love autumn! Love Cuir Beluga! Wear it year round, but wear Armani Prive Vert Malachite more in warmer weather.

[@Olfactofiles]

Thank you! Both of those are so good, aren't they?!

[@cindylund8299]

I just received Nilufer à fougère and I’m loving it. Get your nose on this one

[@Olfactofiles]

Thanks! I will check it out!

[@ildriaresvik6468]

I am so happy that you are uploading again, and a great list for fall! My favourites this fall are Black Saffron from Byredo, Jardins de Misfah from Une Nuit Nomade and Vetiver Tonka from Hermes. Also Scandinavian Crime from Laurent Mazzone is worth checking out imo.

[@Olfactofiles]

I only have travel sprays of those last two but love them as well! I think Vetiver Tonka will eventually become a full bottle.

[@pitikiwi01]

ooooooh team scandinavian crime too!! it's a beauty!

[@pinkiemtengenya6744]

I’m not in Autumn but I love all your picks🤩😍👌. I’ve taken notes from your list and plan to sample some where possible😍😍. This was so helpful👌👌. Stay gorgeous🥰🥰.

[@samuraiinutah]

From Japan and this is my first time watching your video! I too am obsessed with Angel’s Share - as a matter of fact I am so obsessed with it that I flew to New York last fall to get a 250ml decant of it because only a 50ml bottle of it is available here in Japan. I have a quite large collection of fragrances - but, I don’t have some of the frags you mention in this video. So, I’ll start looking for them!

[@apartirdelos50s32]

I need to try Dusita🥰🥰🥰

[@Aedmun]

My top 10 are: Daytime - Y Le Parfum - Boss The Scent Le Parfum - Lalique Encre Noire L'extreme - Navitus The Embrace - JPG Le Male Le Parfum - Gucci Pour Homme Absolute - Diptyque 34 St Bvld EDT Nighttime - Van Cleef and Arpels Pour Homme - Bentley For Men Intense - Dunhill Collection British Leather - Rochas Moustache EDP - Navitus Emblaze - Zaharoff The Siren - JPG Kokorico

[@Nehasharma-le5hh]

Hey Tara!! Wondering if you have tried Iris Malikhan by Maison Crivelli. It's is a leather Iris scent something you might like. I tried and loved it even though I am not a fan of leather or iris fragrance.

[@Olfactofiles]

Yes! I really enjoy it but I think I want to buy Iris de Syracuse first. So many irises, so little space! 🤣

[@thebridewearsblack]

I was thinking THE SAME 😅

[@renonagasan]

@@Olfactofiles Oooh Boucheron! I wonder what’s your take on Boucheron’s Ambre D’Alexandrei.

[@Olfactofiles]

@@renonagasan I haven't smelled that yet

[@S.Ja.]

Topp list …greetings from Germany

[@greyhoundmama1085]

Great list Tara! Would love to try Iris Empire and Issara. I would like to suggest Memo's Winter Palace, despite the name, lol. Also 2 from L'Artisan Parfumeur Noir Exquis and Tea For Two. Kerosene's Broken Theories, too.

[@kathyjimenez4370]

I got a Dusita sample set and found her perfumes too synthetic and complex. The one you mentioned smelled better than her other samples.

[@katecurry3180]

WOW they all sound so fabulous!! These are definitely my favorite types of scent and there are a few I really want to check out now. Thank you!

[@raque.gf88]

Tuxedo is beautiful and perfectly unisex.

[@oriamoreelphoria]

great great great video thank you!! i want to try issara now you totally sold it to me 😁i can't wait to wear sjp "stash" , although i gave a lot of niche perfumes , this one is a beauty! i would bath in it! juliette has a gun citizen queen in another one that i adore, AND bon parfumeur 602 on top of comme des garçons avignon ! piny incense ..

[@Olfactofiles]

Thank you! Those all sound perfect for fall! And stash is like no other celeb fragrance out there! So good!

[@calisgroomroom]

Great video, as always! L’Art de la Guerre by Jovoy and 1725 by Histories de Parfums are two great fougere fragrances that women can definitely wear and enjoy!

[@ginad2827]

I'm newly learning about perfume notes and what notes are in the fragrances I love. It's so fun! I love watching your reviews and I'm learning so much from you, but I have a feeling this new hobby is going to be expensive 😂

[@fragchitown8985]

Thanks for the video Tara. I am looking forward to wearing Irisqué from Providence Perfume Co. (a rooty non-sweet iris), Anabasis from Apoteker Tepe line at Pineward Perfume, Carduus from Jorum Studio, and Cuir d'Ange from Hermès.

[@nadisa76]

Oh my gosh, I love these fragrances and just like you I have an unhealthy obsession with Angel‘s Share and have been on the hunt for similar fragrances (Boucheron Ambre d‘Alexandrie, Oajan, Berdoues Maasai Mara, Soma Halcyon, Ateliers des Ors Rouge Saray, etc.) so please do more videos like this. Oh and nutty fragrances, I am a huge fan of nutty fragrances (Zoologist Chipmunk, Trussardi Passeggiata (not sure how to spell it) .., Hermetica Sandalsun, M.INT Hit the Mark (more chocolatey actually), Bond No 9 New Bond Street, etc.) so if you have more suggestions along those lines please share them. Oh and woody foresty fragrances, oh I could go on, I love them all.

[@kathyjimenez4370]

Bombed out it looks like my travel size Tom Ford Noir De Noir is bad. I’ve had it for a while and It smells like stinky feet. I wanted to wear it this fall. But I’m excited to wear my new Perfume Gourmand Coquin by Guerlain!

My faves from YSL private line are Caftan and Velours. Velours is like an animalic Dior Homme Intense, but better

Yes!!! I have Velours as well and almost put it in instead of Tuxedo. I love them both.
