100. From Vanilla Clouds to Golden Tobacco — Fragrance Moods for Fall
👋 Hi fragrance friend,
I hope you had a restorative weekend! Some days, I think perfume is less about wearing and more about the ritual itself — the slow reach for the bottle, the pause before the spritz, the scent that lingers and reshapes the air around us.
Perfume as ritual isn’t just about adornment. It goes deeper and ventures into its capacity to unlock presence and mood. We can choose for example, each morning, what kind of story will move with us through the day. Some moments call for something enlivening, others for lightness or tenderness.
Some scents that reflect moods that speak to me this fall season:
- Havana Gold by Dries Van Noten | Enlivening
- Little Flower by Régime des Fleurs | Lightness
- Spiritueuse Double Vanille by Guerlain | Serenity
- Existence by Amouage | Tenderness
As the air shifts again, I’m reminded that scent can hold memory better than words. Scent then reflects a living conversation between what we were, what we are, and what we hope to become. May we choose what truly resonates.
With kindness, 🕊 Flor
