Am I the only one that thinks the autumn have just begin? Or that summer really shouldn´t have end allready? It´s strange that the autumn take me with surprise every year, at this point I should be used to it.
Anyway, the autumn, at least until mid october is a cozy time of year, clear and sunny days and dark, cozy evenings. The forest is glowing of colours and the air is crispy and clean. Just in a coupple of weeks it will become the grey autumn season, and it will go on pretty much until next spring, since there isn´t any real winter (like in WINTER) here in Sörmland (middle of Sweden)
I´ve got some favourites during september and first half of october. When the autumn turn colder, greyer and more wet I usually change my taste in perfumes a little. But here is ten favourites this far, in no certain order.
By Kilian, Back to Black, I use to write that I can drink some perfumes, By Kilian´s Back To Black I could drown in an still be contempt. The problem is that it´s quite challenging to drown in a coupple of ml of perfume.
Profumi Pantelleria, Approdo, Not to drown in, but to wrap yourself up in when the days a grey.
M. Micallef, Gaiac, Cozy, warm, golden and totally gorgeus.
Korres, Pepper, Jasmine, Gaiac, Passion Fruit, warm, sweet, happy and very enjoyable.
AbdesSalam, Hindu Kush, I want to travel to the distant valleys of Hindu Kush and getting re-married with my husband and maybe stay there forever adopted by the kalash-people.
Serge Lutens, Ambre Suktan and Borneo 1834, some perfumes I can´t get enough of.
Parfumerie Generale, Aomassai, the perfect autumn trip in a bottle.
Shiseido, Feminite Du Bois, Plum and amber, beautiful dreams and sensual evenings.
Montale, Red Aoud, Mustic, beautiful, warm and veiled.

I'm so glad you fell in love with Red Aoud after all (if I remember correctly, you liked it but were a bit undecided on it in the past?).
SvaraRaderaI have trouble falling for Back to Black because of the honey note (I get the same sharpness I get with certain other honey perfumes). Also not sure it is unique enough - falls somehwere in between Montale's Sweet Oriental Dream and POTL?
Lastly I didn't have time to comment before, but glad to see you loved Citron Poivre as much as I did. Completely agree with you on its unisex nature!
Divina: Oh yes, now I really like it. But still can´t really agree with Black Aoud on me, but on my husband it´s really fine.
SvaraRaderaYes, I know that honey notes turn sharp on some, I am happy I´m not one of them.
Citron Poivre isn´t only unisex, I think it also work well on any ages. My oldest son liked it as well.
