5 Fall Fragrances To Match Your Mood

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday September 13, 20129 comments

While a signature scent is nice to have, I'm more of a 'scent switching' kind of girl.  I like to match my outfit to my mood; my clothing and makeup choices depend on how I am feeling that day. So why shouldn't it be the same with my fragrance? I like the idea of going with a complete look and feel with my outfit, makeup and scent. If I wake up feeling rather creative one day, I make sure to put on my favourite colourful clothes and choose a spicy, interesting scent. It just makes everything feel more put together. 

This fall, with all the anticipated fragrances being released (i.e. Lady Gaga!), I think I'm definitely going to be testing and trying out a few new perfumes and maybe even finding some new faves. With that in mind, I put together 5 fragrances to match 5 moods and maybe you'll find a new fall fave too! 

For when you're feeling...Sexy but Sweet

I know what you're thinking, 'Playboy? Really? Like....really?!' and I totally get it. That's what I first thought too. But this floral scent has grown on me. With musk, orange flower sorbet and peony notes, it's the right amount of spicy and sweet. And the bottle is unexpectedly adorable, no? 

Wear it with: a floral dress with a suggestive neckline to show off some skin but still keep it lady like! 

Playboy VIP for Her (C$25.00)  
 
Modcloth You Are Cherry Welcome Dress in Blossoms (US$54.99) 
 
Forever 21 Faceted Flower Studs (C$3.80) 
 
Banana Republic Whisper Cardigan (C$74.00)

For when you're feeling...Daring 
 
The Lady Gaga perfume is black. Seriously cool. This fragrance boasts ingredients like: 'Tears of Belladonna' and 'Crushed Heart of Tiger Orchidea'. No, I'm not joking. Add in the fact that the bottle looks a bit like an alien pod and clearly this one isn't for a wallflfower. 
 
Wear it with: leather, studs and heels. 

Lady Gaga Fame Eau de Parfum (C$59.00) 

ASOS Pencil Skirt in Leather Look (C$52.52)

Zara Top with Detailing on the Shoulder (C$59.90)

Jeffrey Campbell Damsel in Black and Spike Gold (US$244.95) 

For when you are feeling... Sophisticated and Classic

At first smell, Closer by Halle Berry is almost unisex with it's notes of mahogany wood but it has a very clear feminine side with notes of wild raspberry and violet flowers. I like that this fragrance could be worn day or night and has a mature side appropriate for the office. 

Wear it with: a flattering dress and a vintage inspired handbag.

Closer By Halle Berry Eau de Parfum (C$35.00)
 
T. Babaton Bennett Dress (C$165.00)

Aldo Sperow Pumps (C$90.00)

Romwe Embossing Surface Retro Dark-Red Bag (US$73.99)

For when you're feeling... Fun, Flirty and Fabulous

You know those days when you get up and nothing seems to be slowing you down? Your hair looks miraculously gorge, your skin is looking bright and clear and you actually have (for the first time, in a long time) clean clothes on? I think this is the fragrance you wear when that happens. It's light and fruity and juicy. I like to imagine I've just returned from picking strawberries and rolling around in rose petals when I wear it. 

Wear it with: a skirt you can twirl in, of course! 
 
Marc Jacobs Dot (C$79.00)

TopShop 50's Crochet Lace Dress (C$120.00) 


Tobi Lunch Box Crossbody Bag (US$37.00, on sale)  

H&M Blazer (C$24.95)

For when you're feeling... Quirky-Chic

Are you bored with the run of the mill scents and looking for something new? Try Demeter Black Ginger. True to the name, it's a concentrated spicy, gourmand smell. It's not for everybody but for the individual seeking something new and unique, this might be the one. 

Wear it with: a signature, statement piece. 
 
Demeter Black Ginger  Cologne Spray (US$20.00/1 oz) 

Madewell Silk Colorblock Boyshirt (US$118.00)

Zara Ankle Cropped Trousers (C$59.90)
 
Marc Jacobs Red Patent Blade 40MM Watch (US$200.00)

Which of these perfumes are looking forward to trying out most?

I've never tried any of these yet, but from the sounds of it, I'd probably like the Playboy and Mark Jacobs scents. I'll have to remember to test them next time I`m at Shoppers or The Bay

Every single one of the Playboy perfumes are incredibly awesome and so ultra-feminine.

Love them!

The new Lady Gaga fragrance threw me off guard. It is a beautiful fruity scent that is energetic and bright... kinda smells like grape juice. LOVE IT! I expected something more spicy from Lady Gaga though...
