Fall is here, which means we all want a little cozy in our lives. It’s the season of warm tea, blankets on the sofa, and warm fragrances which wrap us up in a warm scent experience. Love the fall season!

Warm fragrances give us comfort and warmth as temperatures cool down, so, it’s no wonder we gravitate towards woody scents, gourmands, vanilla fragrances, and warm florals. Crisp scents have been left behind until next spring. Bring on heavier perfumes! It’s cozy time!

I own all of the fragrances shown above, so you can count on me to tell you they are warm, cozy, and fabulous. The two scents I find myself reaching for the most include the Chanel edp and Guilty Vanilla. Chanel’s edp is perfect for evening and weekends while Guilty Vanilla is ideal for the office, theater, and anytime you want an understated yet fabulous fragrance. Of course, the other four fragrances are beautiful too, I just reach for the Chanel and Guilty Vanilla the most often.

I hope you enjoy these cozy fragrances for the fall season!

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp review

Chanel has given us a warm, new fruity floral fragrance just in time for the fall season, and I love it! Normally, I shy away from scents which contain jasmine, but this time, Chanel has done a good job of masking the jasmine and letting other fragrance notes have their moment. Love that!

Here are the fragrance notes from Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp:

  • Top Notes: lychee, grapefruit
  • Middle Notes: rose, jasmine
  • Base Notes: amber, patchouli, vanilla, vetiver

Ah, vetiver! This is one of those notes which always signal to me that I will love the scent. Back in the 1990s, I was a huge Gio de Giorgio Armani fan, and it had a beautiful vetiver scent. Oh how I miss that fragrance! But, I digress. . . Chanel has given us a fabulous, modern scent with a slight vetiver base and it is downright fabulous.

Chanel hit a homerun with this new eau de parfum. The florals are warm, the woody base is smooth, and the fruit adds a little somethin’ somethin’ which makes the overall combo warm, slightly sweet, and cozy. When I say cozy, I mean Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp will be perfect for fall and winter. I love a warm fragrance experience on foggy days and in cooler temperatures.

I wish you could smell this through the computer screen. I know you would love it! The warm floral scent is dominant with a smooth, woody base balancing out the florals. The fruity portion is very slight, and it too balances out the florals. It’s chemistry perfection. This is an eau de parfum I plan to wear very often. I am in love!

So, if you are looking for the perfect edp to wear now and throughout the fall and winter seasons, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp is the scent for you!

Thanks for stopping by!

Bon Parfumeur 402 Guilty Vanilla review

I love a good vanilla perfume, and 402 Guilty Vanilla by Bon Parfumeur is the perfect version. Don’t be mistaken, this is not a simple vanilla fragrance, it is complex and grown up; perfect for anyone who not only loves vanilla but enjoys and appreciates artistic fragrance. Love!

Let’s dive into the notes in this perfume.

Top notes: almond blossom, icing sugar, almond

Middle notes: vanilla, caramel, jasmine

Base notes: musk, benzion, sandalwood

This combination creates a beautiful, long lasting dry-down which offers a vanilla gourmand fragrance experience without being sweet and sticky. It is smooth, clean, fresh, and ideal. Love it!

Although I purchased the 30ml size, I can already tell I will need to order the larger size next time. I am going through this bottle rather quickly; it’s so good!

So, if you are looking for the perfect, complex vanilla, this is it!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
