Here is a great article I found on Top 10 Fall Fragrances 2008 by Now Smell This.

Fall? Bah, humbug. I’m a summer person. The best thing I can say about fall is that at least it isn’t winter yet. Here are some of the fragrances I like to wear while counting the days until spring…

CB I Hate Perfume Burning Leaves: I can’t think of any other scent that so perfectly captures what fall ought to smell like. As I said when I reviewed it, it is “calming and invigorating at the same time”, and it layers beautifully with all kinds of other things. To stick with the autumn theme, layer it with Gathering Apples (from the same brand).

L’Artisan Navegar: I think of Navegar as the fall version of L’Eau de L’Artisan – take out the seaweed, add some spices, voilà. It’s too lightweight for qualify as a winter scent, but in the early, crisp days of fall when you can still get away with a light jacket, it’s just right. Another spicy cologne to carry you into fall: Diptyque L’Eau de L’Eau.

Bvlgari Omnia: In the same seasonal category as Navegar – sheer but spicy, perfect for those early days when it’s not yet cold enough for Donna Karan Black Cashmere. That is, assuming you’re one of those lucky people that can smell Omnia at all. If you’re not, you’ll spray it on and wonder where it went.

Diptyque Tam Dao: Is the glut of information fueling your election anxiety disorder? Spray on some soothing Tam Dao. Oh, and stop looking at the polls. It will all be over soon.

Kenzo Amour: Tam Dao didn’t work? Spray on some Kenzo Amour. Still freaking out? Did you try layering them? Well then, sorry, there’s nothing we can do for you. Apparently you need to go camping.

Estee Lauder Sensuous: Yeah, yeah, I know. Many of you hate it. Angela found it dull, and she’s got plenty of company. I can’t make a case for Sensuous as an edgy scent, it’s true, but I prefer to think of it as “easy to wear”. I reach for it at night when I’m too tired for edgy.

Introducing Estee Lauder Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang: A warm, luminous and intimate fragrance created by Aerin Lauder.

“Great fragrances create a world of their own.”– Aerin Lauder

Collection, Aerin Lauder drew inspiration from the luxurious simplicity of her own private world. The fragrance captures the essence of an enjoyable evening in a warm, inviting room filled with the luxurious textures of wood, velvet and cashmere in browns and golds.
“To me, a perfect evening is a private one, spent at home with family and friends,” said Aerin Lauder, Estēe Lauder Senior Vice President and Creative Director. “Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang represents the relaxed intimacy and quiet comforts that we love to come home to at the end of the day.”

Rich with texture and surrounded by warmth, Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang subtly evokes the legendary fragrances of the past yet invites you into an intimate, private world of today. From deep within this very modern, warm, luminous fragrance emerges a carefully crafted bouquet of Golden Amber, Ylang Ylang, Bulgarian Rose, Honey, Incense, Vanilla and Sandalwood.

One of my favorite Hollywood actresses, Gwyneth Paltrow, also happens to be the face of Pleasures Perfume by Estee Lauder. 

ET recnetly nnraveled Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pleasures. Here it is:

Gwyneth Paltrow reveals what pleases her!

ET goes behind the scenes of her new Estée Lauder ad campaign for Pleasures fragrance where Gwyneth heads to one of her favorite childhood haunts — Long Island.

“My best simple pleasures are just being present and being with my kids,” Paltrow reveals.

The actress is shot casually lounging in grass next to a guitar and serenely taking a swing on a swing set. Watch the Hollywood star and doting mom talk about the location where she shot the ad campaign — a place she calls her “epitome of pleasure.”

An ancient precious winter flower is the star of Kenzo’s new, limited edition eau de parfum, FLOWERBYKENZO WINTER FLOWERS.

If you are into Japanese perfumes like I am, then Flower By Kenzo Winter Flowers Eau de Parfum is the fragrance for you. I seem to love Hanae Mori and Issey Miyake, and even Shiseido perfumes, so I was quite thrilled that I got the chance to sample a Kenzo perfume. The smell is very woody, fresh, and clean. I can see myself wearing Flower by Kenzo Winter Flowers Eau de Parfum in the evening when going out to a nice dinner and drinks. What I also like about Flower By Kenzo Winter Flowers is that it has a very distinctive scent, and doesn’t smell like any other perfume. Everything about Flower By Kenzo Winter Flowers Eau de Parfum is like a work of art. Needless to say, it has a very sultry scent, and it is a definite keeper!  

This powdery, floral scent is inspired by Hellebore rose, which is known for its startling blossoms and fragile beauty against the stark winter landscape. Unlike the original FLOWERBYKENZO, WINTER FLOWERS incorporates a sparkling top note of mandarin, floral middle note of hellebore rose, and powdery base note of absolute vanilla.

Vera Wang ‘Look’ Eau de Parfum: Like Vera Wang’s fashion, her new fragrance represents a measured study in texture, color, silhouette and proportion. Vera Wang Look unexpectedly reveals itself in fragrant layers. Luxurious and rich, yet modern and sheer. A blend of complexity and transparency in a totally modern new fragrance.
