Looking for a fall scent

Hey guys,

Can anyone recommend a good fall scent. I'm looking for something that will go with rainy weather, and will probably wear it when it gets dark. I guess I'm looking for something a little spicy and dark, but not sweet. I don't mind sweet scents, but I can't wear them for too long because they give me a headache after a while.

Another thing, it should probably be somewhat conservative also. I plan to wear it to my night classes occasionally and I don't want to really offend anyone.

Thanks for any suggestions.

See if you can get yourself a sample of Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier's Santal Noble.

I agree with Vibert. Your description of what you want sounds just like Santal Noble.

Black Tourmaline by Oliver Durbano

Spicy, smokey, a little dark, modern and classy

Just spritz lighter when going to class. I've had many positive comments on this one.

Spritz heavier for a night life.

You are looking for Terre d'Hermes. Very earthy and perfect for rainy, cooler fall weather; spicy and not too sweet.
I wore it out to dinner tonight and was complimented by my waitress, who leaned in extra close to take my order.

I'll add Costes or Hermes' Rocabar.

Hermes' Bel Ami is perfect for this weather--not at all sweet, but lots of depth. If you can go a little sweeter, try Zino--it, too, is fab in the fall
