It's starting to get chilly here so I have been thinking about it (and narrowing them down to just five is very difficult!) but these are pretty representative of what I'm currently craving -

Iris Ganache, especially since I'm wearing it right now
Lalique Le Parfum
Mystère de Rochas
Chanel Coromandel
Hermès Rouge

My favorite perfume wearing weather is just around the corner! I've already been thinking of this list.

1. Chanel Bois des Ilse / Coromandel (one new to me, and one of my standbys - both are my favorite ever perfumes)
2. PG Cadjmere
3. SL Douce Amere
4. Lancome Cuir
5. i Profumi di Firenze Ambra del Nepal - also new to me, but a beautiful take on amber, almost airy if that is possible with amber

Serge Lutens Daim Blond (my wedding scent from October)
Ormonde Jayne (this has to be the perfect autumn scent)
Chanel No 5 in pretty much any formulation, as it smells so delicious on a scarf or a sweater.
Timbuktu - smokey woody loveliness

A fifth one escapes me right now.

I am a great amber lover, but can't seem to wear it in the summer. Patchouli, on the other hand, smells great in summer to me. Go figure. Anyway, I am looking forward to wearing:
Ambre Russe
Ambre Narguile
Ambre Gris
Chergui
Bois d'Armenie

Our lists never change much.

Chanel No. 22 edt
Alien
Tabu
Bal a Versailles edt
Hypnotic Poison

Tabac Blond is my one year 'round mainstay, so I suppose that one doesn't really count.

Aaacckkkk... I HATE questions like this because I see so much i've never tried before and it makes my fingers reach for another order to lucky Scent..... ( i must try some of these, like Cadjmer, Shaal nur, etc... oh yum!)

Anyhow, here is what i'm trying to be content with at the moment:
-Guerlain's Bois D'armenie (my lovely)
-Caron's Pour Une Femme Parfum (neck in neck w/ Mitsouko as my top two alltime favorites)
-Guerlain's Mitsouko EDP (greatest perfume ever made, if i may)
-Guerlain's Nahema Parfum (I love this spicy rose in the fall)
-Caron's N'aimez que Moi (this really pops in cooler weather, love it)

Fall is my favorite fragrance season, and it's hard to pick just five! Ambers, woods, and the warmer chypres are what I crave most at that time of year. Five that come to mind:

Shaal Nur
Timbuktu
Ambre Precieux
Theorema
Niki de Saint Phalle

Givenchy III and Gucci III havent been touched since last winter (wrong, the Givenchy I took out for the Synchronized Friday), expect to make some use of them again, Soir de Lune, Parfum Sacre, and then I already have a crave for PGs Intrigant Patchouly so Ill probably have to order a bottle when I squeezed the last drops out of my decant.
Id probably get all unbalanced wearing only these, too much patchouly and spice, but they come out of the closet to be thoroughly enjoyed in the autumn. Bonus: Mitsouko - always on any toplist.

Sacrebleu and Maharanih from Nicolaï. Shem-El-Nessim and Hasu-No-Hana from Grossmith. Number One from Nicolai of course. Salvador Dali. And Shantoung and Yavana from Galimard. Galimar and Arabie are winter fragrances for me.

Oh, now i realize that this is more than five. Well, that's me.
