Surrounding Yourself With Fall Scents for Halloween

| |

No matter what the thermometer tells you, a glance at the calendar is enough to make you yearn for crisp fall scents. This is the perfect time to shop for home fragrances, perfumes, and scented bath and body products that make you feel as though autumn is in the air even when the weather's warm. Take a look at the environmental fragrance aisle at your local box store or boutique, and you'll see that they've already ditched the summer florals in favor of fall's luscious harvest scents and Halloween goodies.
Everyone experiences fall fragrances differently, so what are some of the things that fool your nose into thinking it's autumn? Maybe it's the aroma of maple syrup or the faint scent of smoke as fireplaces start for the season. You might associate fall's scent with the cool, crisp ozone smell of a north wind that has a bit of a bite to it. Atmospheric scents tinged with pine, oakmoss and wood-like notes evoke a forest blazing with autumnal hues. If you love being in the great outdoors for fall, these scents might be your favorite choices for perfumes and home fragrances.
If you're lucky enough to have a garden or fruit trees, you might think of ripe apples, plums, persimmons and cranberries. Warm, spicy scents and all of those delicious aromas that perfume designers call gourmand notes are classic choices for fall. Everything from cupcakes served at the summer's last Labor Day hurrah to Halloween's candy corn and the pumpkin pie that makes Thanksgiving special can be a part of fall fragrance for your home or your bath. If you think of fall in terms of all the good things you'll get to taste, then surround yourself with aromatic versions of fall's festive treats like kettle corn and caramel apples.
Fashionistas might gravitate to fall scents that feel more textural. Cashmere, silk and velvet all have a rich feel between your fingers, but some scents also have a richness that echoes that plush sensation. Putting on that cashmere sweater that's been in your cedar closet for months is one of autumn's most enjoyable scent memories. Natural fibers like wool and silk also have a characteristic scent of their own that often reads as fall-like. If you store your clothes with drawer paper scented of violets or roses, those scents might mean autumn to you. Look for scents that describe themselves as creamy or velvety to enjoy that sensation of richness in your fragrance choices.
Just because it's fall doesn't mean that you have to put away all the floral fragrances you love. Figs, currants, apples and pears have an almost floral fragrance already, so they pair beautifully with floral notes like rose and lilac. Look for flowers combined with fruit or spice notes to transform a summer scent into something more seasonal.
