Fall is upon us, this means it is time to store our sweet florals, fruity florals, coconut perfumes, and citrus based scents. With cooler weather comes the time for warm bases with woody notes, vanilla notes and amber. The fall is the perfect time to wear warm florals, woods, gourmands, and smoky scents. Love this time of year!

This is the time of year when we can wear heavier perfumes and get away with it. I love a good woody floral or vanilla based scent which is not too sweet during the autumn months. Classic perfumes such as Chanel no. 5 and Bond no. 9 Nuits de Noho are also ideal this time of year. I’m wearing Nuits de Noho as we speak! Love!

So, without further ado, here are my favorite fragrances for the fall season, curated into the scrolling widget below. Which one is your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by!

Top classic perfumes and best selling perfumes

Throughout the decades there have been fragrance trends, hot selling perfume products, and heavily advertised fragrances. Despite this money-making industry and push to make a perfume popular, there are certain fragrance brands, designers, and scents which have withstood the test of time, changing tastes, trends, and lack of heavy advertising. These are the classics and the best-selling fragrances of our time.

Chances are, you have heard of most, if not all, of these perfumes. There are different levels of popular and classic fragrances. We have pure perfume, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, cologne, and eau de cologne. When you sort through these timeless scents, you will also see price points barely over one hundred dollars and others in the hundreds; as if they are trying to be a thousand dollars! This means, there is a classic fragrance in every price point, and for everyone. You won’t have to break the bank to purchase an investment fragrance. Love that!

What I love about these classic perfumes is that they transcend generation. Fragrances which were popular in the 1980s are still popular now, which means the silent gen, boomers, GenX, Millennials, and GenZ are all fans of these timeless perfumes. Isn’t that fabulous? We might not agree on many topics, but we can all agree a beautiful fragrance transcends time and generation.

I showcased my favorite best-selling fragrances in the collage above, but there are many more! Scroll through the shopping widget below to see all the fragrances which are classic, best-selling, and have been around for ages.

What is your favorite classic perfume? I love don’t be shy by Kilian, Chanel no. 5 and everything from Lancome.

Bookmark this page for the holidays! These are not only great investments, but they will also make the perfect holiday gift! Love!

L’Occitane Vanilla Bouquet

L’Occitane hand cream is an oldie but a goodie. If you searched for the perfect, non-greasy hand cream early in your life, you most certainly came across L’Occitane hand cream. It is famous for it’s non-greasy formula and its’ ability to repair hands. But, did you know there are additional scents beyond the standard shea butter fragrance? There are!

My absolute favorite scent from the L’Occitane hand cream collection is Vanilla Bouquet. You might think this is a traditional vanilla bean fragrance, but I can assure, it is not. In fact, L’Occitane Vanilla Bouquet does not really smell like vanilla at all. It is a very soft, floral scent which is light and works well all year long. I am in love with it!

In addition to L’Occitane hand cream in vanilla bouquet, there are additional skin care products with this scent. I am currently loving the body cream, which is thick and moisturizing, as well as beautifully scented! Love!

If you are looking for hand cream which does its’ job, and accompanying skin care products, you might fall in love with L’Occitane hand cream in vanilla bouquet. I know I did!

So, without further ado, I rate L’Occitane hand cream vanilla bouquet five out of five stars! Love it!

Have you tried L’Occitane hand cream yet? If not, I highly recommend giving it a try. It quickly repairs hands and has been a favorite since the 1990s.

Thanks for stopping by!
