Best Indie Fragrances for Fall

 Three Indie Fragrances For Fall via Steven

In our co-curation, Steven and I chose three Indie fragrances for Fall that offer something unique and make different statements in cooler weather- bold, subtle or warm, transportive and ambery.

Tempus Vitae© Cafe du Jour (Michael Salazar) is a bold, unique take on coffee focusing primarily on a nutty creaminess without the typical route of sweet and spicy, focusing primarily on a nutty and creamy characteristic.. It has depth, complexity, and character not seen often in your mainstream coffee compositions. The perfumer, Michael Salazar created unique heliotrope, caramel and milk foam accords.-Michelyn

Notes: Coffee, Nutty Notes, Tamanu Oil, Black Currant, Ylang-Ylang, Lavender, Heliotrope Accord, Pink Peppercorn, Butter CO2, Milk Foam Accord, Tonka Bean, Oakwood, Guaiacwood, Siam Benzoin, Portuguese Labdanum, Caramel Accord, Indian Davana, Birch Tar, Musk

We invited Contributor Mimian Morales to write up Statik Olfactive Forbidden Love, which is subtle but lovely for cool weather.

Statik Olfactive Finding Forbidden Love (Paul Kiler): If you want a beautiful white tea fragrance that is sophisticated and substantial enough to wear this fall, take a sniff of Statik Olfactives gorgeous Finding Forbidden Love, created by noted American perfumer Paul Kiler. Finding Forbidden Love opens with white peach, white tea, jasmine and rose. While this scent has elements of air and light with that fruit, tea and floral opening, it is grounded by the inclusion of woody and incense notes that complement it perfectly and give it some heft. –Mimian

Notes: White Tea, White Peach, Jasmine, Rose, Cypress Wood, Frankincense, Opoponax Labdanum, Raspberry, Davana, Honey, Sandalwood

INeKE Perfumes Field Notes from Paris( INeKE Ruhland): INeKE offers some of the best indie fragrances around ( I have all six in my personal collection). She composed Fields Notes from Paris while reminiscing about her days in Paris training as a perfumer, reflected upon the words of T.S. Eliot: “Life is measured in coffee spoons.” Imagine a fall afternoon at a corner café in Paris sipping an espresso, watching people slowly walk by and taking in the aromas. Field Notes from Paris has an enigmatic, warm presence that will bring you there any time, any place. Its woody-ambery structure combines the warmth of tobacco flower and leaf with the vintage perfumery notes of coriander seed, patchouli and tonka bean. It is our number one pick and we think it is the most versatile of our Indie fragrances for Fall. –Michelyn

Notes: Coriander Seed, Orange Flower, Bergamot, Tobacco Flower and Leaf, Patchouli, Cedar, Tonka Bean, Leather, Beeswax, Vanilla
