Different than expected...
In search of a spicy autumn fragrance, I stumbled upon
"Les Saisons Automne" while browsing.
Nice, I thought, the listed notes appealed to me and the scent was quite affordable, so I ordered it without smelling it first...

With the autumn season, I associate fullness, ripeness, spice, a roaring celebration of nature, intensely warm, golden-bronze colors, colorful, falling leaves in the light of a lapis blue sky, but also earthy-heavy moisture and coolness, fog, darkness, first frosts, and a slight melancholy about nature's "retreating to rest".
Add a cup of tea, with a cozy blanket in front of the crackling fireplace, after a long walk in the clear, cool autumn air...

The scent feels a bit different to me than I expected:
radiant, clear, ethereal, light.
Bright woodiness, white lily; furthermore, very delicate hints of masala tea; I can barely detect the berries, almond, and spices, if at all.
On my skin, only this bright,
even somewhat scratchy-sharp woodiness with lily remains perceptible for many hours.
Personally, I unfortunately miss the expected fullness, ripeness, spice, the heaviness, and above all something warm and cozy enveloping, which I associate with "autumn".
It's not a scent that makes me feel "warm"; I don't like to smell it on my skin.
I would describe the longevity and sillage as average.
If I had to assign a color to the scent, it would be a bright, crystal-like gold.

You may think I'm crazy now, but I use this scent as a room spray in my reading room, in front of the fireplace, when the weather outside is truly miserable; as a reminder of golden falling leaves in radiant, ethereal autumn light...

A subtly spicy floral scent with a hint of wood and some berries. The lily is hardly noticeable. Unremarkable but still pleasant.

Woody and no lily. That's nice.
Sunbeams flicker on dry leaves.
Light, dry, spherical.
It really has something.

Powdery, pencil-like cedar, a hint of lily, slightly musty but not unpleasant spice note. Wear yes, buy no.

Not a typical lily scent: not harsh, airy, subtle, powdery, with a citrus note, making it almost fresh, spicy: lovely!

Kurkdjian has (almost) never been my thing. Not here either. A chemical mess with loud berries and the typical sandalwood punch.

Wonderful late summer all-rounder when the light outside turns ochre. Floral-fresh with spices and hardly any fruit. Close to the body and light.

Like a bright, cheerful autumn day! At first, there's also a slightly peppery note.
