5 Best Fall Perfumes For Women
#1. Arquiste for J.Crew
Arquiste for J.Crew is a time capsule in a bottle. If you want t take a trip down memory lane, then this fragrance is for you. Arquiste, founded by Carlos Huber, a brand known for its evocative scents inspired by moments in history, has teamed up with the preppy brand, J.Crew to create two fragrances inspired by the Guggenheim museum of art.
In 1941, the Guggenheim featured “Exhibition by 31 women”, the first modern art show, that honored 31 female artists of the decade, curated by Peggy Guggenheim in 1943. As a result, “31” was created to honor the bold scents that the artists wore at the time – red vermouth, Bulgarian rose, and patchouli, while “57”, with notes of cinnamon bark and vanilla bean, was designed to heighten the sense of the fragrant cocktails and curved oak wood of the famous gallery.
According to Jenna Lyons, president, and executive creative director of J.Crew, “Developing these scents with Carlos was like following someone who is walking through time.”
The scents are now available at J.Crew.com

I want to hear from you. What is your favorite all-time fragrance? Do you have a signature scent? Thoughts are welcome!
I love the idea of Pure Grace. I am going to have to go and sniff it to see if I like it. But I do prefer the clean soapy smell rather than heavy perfumes that many women wear…
Me too. I don’t do well with the ones that seem to take over an entire room even if you have a small dab on them. I think I actually wear more lotion now than any perfume. That is saved for the special days, not an every single day of the week kind of thing.
I have about five different fragrances I rotate and since I wear perfume daily, I am always looking for new scents. I like to find perfumes that are very different from anything I already have and some of these sound like they’ll fit that bill.
I’m always a little fascinated when a perfume smells powdery. To me that’s a bit ironic. But truthfully, I can’t stand when you can’t even walk behind someone male or female in the grocery store or mall, because of how strong their cologne is.
