When summer is gone, fall sweeps in with a refreshing breath of cool air. It comes with its own set of colors, fruits, and scents.
“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower” – Albert Camus
Fall is the season of apples, pears, beets, cranberries, and pumpkins. It is the season of getting that oddly satisfying feeling of crushing dry leaves that have fallen from trees as you walk the sidewalk. The world is suddenly colored with burnt orange, olive green, mustard yellow, ivory, and brown.
In the UAE, we wait for fall to enjoy outdoor activities, considering it is when the heat cools down and being outside is bearable. We can see the sun again without getting a heat stroke, so we excitedly pull out our bikes, picnic bags, autumn fragrances, and other fall essentials. Wearing a crisp, warm, and cozy fragrance will help you get in that fall mood and prepare you for the season ahead.

Club De Nuit Imperiale by Armaf is an affordable fragrance option for everyday wear during the fall. Its sweet, crisp, and warm composition reminisces autumn sunsets.
The way opening notes of litchi, bergamot, and nutmeg blend with the heart of vanilla, Turkish rose, musk, and peony smells like a bakery filled with freshly baked desserts and roses. The base of vanilla, incense, cashmere, and cedar is warm, grounding, and long-lasting. The vanilla note is very prominent in this fragrance.

La Voie by Holy Oud is an affordable fragrance that will make you feel expensive without spending much. It is rich, decadent, and warm. It just might be your next signature scent this fall.
The balance of citrus at the opening, florals in the heart, and sweet, warm notes in the base give a fragrance with a classic composition suitable for everyday wear. The warmth of the base makes it more suitable as a fall seasonal scent. But nothing is stopping you from wearing it all year round.
