Listen, if I were to be buried with just ONE perfume (which is unrealistic because I will be buried with at least 10), La Danza delle Libellule by Nobile 1942 is absolutely making it into my casket.

Which brings me here: what is the best apple perfume you have ever owned or smelled?

I’ve realized that apple fragrances, especially ones like La Danza, bring me an almost ridiculous amount of joy, and I desperately want to grow my apple collection. Give me the juicy apples, baked apples, caramelized apples, apple pie, crisp green apples, weird apples. I want them ALL.

And PLEASE tell me about the ones nobody talks about. Major bonus points for indie and niche because you know that’s where my heart lives, but I do not discriminate when an apple is good.

Basically, if it smells like an apple and you think I need to put my nose on it, drop it below.

Just filled up my gas tank and let me tell you: the world is EXPENSIVE. But I’ve had a rough couple of weeks, and naturally I decided the solution was to stare at my perfume collection and think about what’s missing.

And honestly? My fall and winter collection needs some HELP.

I’m a HUGE indie girl. Huge. I own the majority of Sorce, I have Anjali, September 28th, Briix, and a few others I absolutely adore. But I realized I don’t actually have that many fragrances that truly feel like fall. I also have been crying over the fact that I can't afford Fantome right now because I ran through my sample of The Fox Sisters or trust me, I would've gotten a full bottle.

I want spooky. I want gourmand. I want cozy. I want atmospheric. I want something that smells like October at 6pm when the sun is going down and you suddenly believe you have a personality again because it’s finally under 80 degrees outside.

So tell me your fall favorites, especially from indie and smaller houses. I’m definitely an EDP girl. I love oils, but realistically I’m a spray-and-go person, so sprays are preferred!

I’d also really love to keep recommendations under $110 for a full bottle. I want this post to become a little resource for anyone else looking to explore fall fragrances without feeling like they need to spend $200+ on a bottle. Perfume should be fun and accessible, and there should never be any shame in asking for more affordable recommendations.

Give me your weird little hidden gems. The ones nobody talks about enough. I’m ready.

hiiii does anyone else feel like the fall releases are slow and nothing has peaked their interest? my collection is lacking "fall" perfumes. I am huge fresh, shampoo-y girl but I want the gourmands, ambers and warmth that fall evokes. I do own majority of the sorce collection, I do know about Sunday coven Haus, but looking for more houses - EDP's please (while I do enjoy an perfume oil from time to time I want EDP's) and major major thank you's for those that last long.

hello ~ I have come to realize I own way too many freshies and I lack gourmands, minus Sorce I own that entire house. I know it's Labor Day Weekend but what are some long lasting Indie and Niche Fall perfumes you recommend? I really want to use this post to uplight those we don't often hear about in the indie perfume space so really appreciate dropping your hidden gems.

Hi! I’ve been in the indie fragrance space as a consumer for over 10 years now, but somehow I still feel like I’m not finding nearly enough brands. I’m on a bit of a no-buy right now and mostly trying to limit my spending, but I still want to explore and support indie and niche perfume houses when I can. Some houses I’ve tried recently are Sorce, The Body Tale, Arcana Wildcraft, and Sept 28th. I would love recommendations for more houses to try, preferably with full sizes under $100! I’m definitely an EDP girl. I do like perfume oils, but I almost always gravitate toward EDPs more. Thank you so much for welcoming me into this space and for reading my first post! I’m a little nervous because I’ve been on Reddit forever as a viewer and never a poster, so I’m finally taking the plunge.
