Fall Scents! What's your favorite?

[adaumus]

New around these parts and wondering some favorite colognes for the fall/winter. Fall seems like a very introspective and peaceful season. I can visualize some cool breezes with autumn colored leaves blowing, and an occasional fireplaces billowing smoke. Trying to keep thoughts similar to this in mind when choosing. I'm about to pick up some sandalwood (guessing dyptique). Also seeing if anyone has good choices for woodsy/earthy colognes that can work for any occasion, but not too hippy.

Thanks for posing the question, and welcome! Lots come to mind and I am sure you will get some excellent responses. I am utterly enamoured with MPG Santal Noble these days, a soft sandalwood centered scent that is not exclusively sandalwood, but there are lots of great scents that fit your general description!

I am utterly enamoured with MPG Santal Noble these days!

Excellent fall-winter woody with charm and class to spare.
An inexpensive, more youthful woody/spice/incense for fall, that is qualitatively far above it's pricepoint, although with a drydown that is slightly too sweet, is L'Occitane's Eav Des Bavx.
Another great smooth woody/evergreen/sweet-spices scent is Hermes Rocabar....just make sure to ignore the dill in the opening.

How about some Ogallala cedar and sage...

+1 for L'Occitaine Eau des Baux. Also consider Hermes Terre d'Hermes which I find Earthy with out being Hippy(ish).

 

[markb]

Orientals and anything heavy on spices, musk, incense & leather notes.

 

[blantyre]

Eucris, English Fern, Dunhill Blend 30, Jubilation XXV, Tam Dao are all in the mix. I'm wearing Eucris today - a nice one for a 65 degree day.

[Evbo]

...and to add to all of the above, Sonoma Scent Studio's Incense Pure.

 

[mretzloff]

Knize Ten, my favorite

 

[Crisp]

I have pi that I think is nice. I bought it in college to impress a girl. I rarely use it. It is almost a keepsake now. Only wear it on very special occasions. It is like a momento!

****, that was like 8 years ago.

Despair!

[Crisp]

Geeziz, you guys really know your stuff! Where do you find all of these scents. Moreover, how do you find out ABOUT them?

 

[Niles]

Burberry London is one that I enjoy in cool weather. Also, on the cheaper side, Pinaud Clubman Reserve is a nice pick in my opinion.

Welcome aboard, Crisp! So glad to have you participating here! Seriously, one way to find out about these scents is to keep posting questions and participating in discussions around here. Folks around here like to talk about this stuff and do not mind that similar questions may have come up in the past. (I am generally blown away by the quality of knowledge and advice from folks on this forum--besides me that is! be warned not to listen to me! I will tell you more than I know without even blinking! But I am particularly impressed by the quality of the posts in response to your inquires here!)

But you can search or simply read through past threads going back as far as 5 years as I recall. The reviews section of B&B be thin on some scents, but on others is stunningly thorough.

I think eventually we pretty much get around to every what, who, when, how, but if we don't just ask.

I warn you though, this is very addictive stuff. I do not even understand the mechanism of the addiction and on many levels it makes no sense at all to me. All I know is what I have seen and experienced! So I guess what I cam really saying is "run," " do not look back," "save yourself before it is too late!!!'

If you want the cheapest best cologne and then get out of here before you get addicted try Old Spice.
