Perfumes You Need If You Want To Smell Like…

I don’t know what it is about autumn, but it always makes me want to smell sweeter.
As soon as the weather gets colder, I start reaching for all the warm, comforting perfumes in my collection. Think vanilla, caramel, honey, cinnamon, coffee (basically anything that smells like something you’d find in a bakery or order from a coffee shop).
I feel like perfume just feels better in autumn too. The cooler weather makes those rich, sweeter scents feel so much cozier, and there’s something about spraying a warm vanilla perfume before putting on a big jumper that feels heavenly.
So, whether you want to smell like a vanilla cupcake fresh from the oven, a caramel frappuccino on a chilly morning, honey drizzled over warm toast, or banana bread baking in the kitchen, I’ve rounded up the perfect list of gourmand scents you need this autumn!

aww ty these are so helpful !
you should do either an outfit archive or vanity diaries of SUPERNATURAL women!!! Like Jo Harvelle, Lisa etc.. They could bring a bit different vibe to the Sugarcoated diary and attract more people since there is a huge Supernatural fandom out there, its a perfect vibe for autumn- gloomy dark and mysterious 🙂
for vanilla i hugely recommend Maison Margiela Replica afternoon delight it smells like vanilla essence and lasts for ages i always get compliments on it !!
for vanilla I recommend Eilish n°1 , it lasts for ages and smells insanely good ❣️
