Fall is the perfect time to try new, warmer-tone perfumes after light scents that most of the time accompanies Summer days. If you are in the middle of searching your new signature perfume for this Fall I have a few suggestions for you (but this is not a sponsored post, it doesn't contain any affiliate links either.) 

It would be hard to choose just one favorite because I love all of them, it just depends on my mood and outfit of the day, which one of these perfumes I wear each day.

Burberry "My Burberry"

Inspired by the trench coat of the Burberry brand, "My Burberry" captures the fragrance of a London garden after the rain. Its contemporary floral scent features a delicate heart of rose woven with an unexpected touch of geranium leaf.

 Top notes: __  sweet pea, bergamot

                                        Middle notes: _ geranium, golden quince, freesia

                                        Base notes: __  patchouli, damask, centifolia roses

 It's a fresh, soft floral, a bit powdery and someway unisex scent of "My Burberry" that makes this fragrance so special to me. Even though it lasts only up to 6-7 hours, "My Burberry" has become one of my very favorite fragrances. 

The flacon is stunning __ it's made of glass with a stopper inspired by the bottom of a Burberry trench coat and how cute this ribbon is, that is made of the same fabric as the Burberry trench.

Burberry "My Burberry Black"

If you liked how the previous perfume sounded but didnt like its lasting power, then this "My Burberry Black" is for you because it lasts longer than original "My Burberry" and it smels as amazing as the previous one. This is a warm, floral and intimate fragrance that can be worn in chilly days and even better _ for your next night out because it is sexy but not overwelming.

As Burberry describes, "My Burberry Black" fuses the scent of sun-drenched Jasmine flower and Peach nectar with a sensual touch of Rose. The iconic Rose note at the heart of My Burberry fragrances is given a sweet and inviting candied twist while rich Amber Patchouli rounds out the scent for a deep and captivating finish.

Notes:

Peach Nectar, Sun-Drenched Jasmine

Candied Rose and Amber Patchouli

I like that My Burberry Black has a spicy scent but soft spicy, nothing annoying in it, with deep Amber Patchouli tones that can for sure make you stand out wherever you go. 

Some people might call this fragrance masculin but I would call it bold, it's a bold scent but not overwhelming. 

The bottle is almost same as My Burberry, just in a darker tone with the same cute ribon on the cap. Lasting power is amazing, you don't even need to re-apply it during a day or night.   

Bottega Veneta "Bottega Veneta"

This perfume has very sensual and intriguing scent __ it's little bit floral, with more spicy and dry, woody notes. You can feel leathery undertones throughout a day as well.

"Bottega Veneta" is not a typical feminine perfume __ it's a unique mix of spicy, leather and floral notes that can change your mood right after you apply it and yes, wearing this parfume, you can definitely make a statement. 

Dior "Miss Dior"

Warm, Sweet, Floral __ that's how I would describe this Dior "Miss Dior" Eau de Parfum in three words. If you love sweet scents you may enjoy wearing this perfume. 

Key Notes: 

Rosewood, Bergamot and Grasse Rose.

In the heart of the fragrance, the fresh, sensual beauty of the Grasse rose combines with the boldness of Damascus rose. They are woven with Calabrian bergamot, vivid rosewood from French Guiana, and pink pepper from Reunion Island. You can smell sweet notes with the pink pepper and orange at beginning but it settles into powdery roses and blossoms.

Lancome "Hypnose"

"Hypnose" is a sweet, elegant and feminine, kind of cozy fragrance with its low note of passion flower and violet, mid notes of vanilla and jasmine and top notes of amber and woods. It's not overwelming but definitely outstanding. 

The bottle of this fragrance is so luxurious, evocative of a woman's silhouette. There is something about this fragrance that makes you feel very special.

Two weeks ago, we decided to take a road trip to Canada. Since we are only few hours away from the Canadian border, we decided to use this opportunity and visited Montreal and Quebec City.

Chateau Frontenac __ holds a Guinness World Record of "the most photographed hotel in the world"

Once we got to Montreal, we stopped by downtown Montreal to see Barbi Expo first. It's a free exhibit in one of the upscale malls in Montreal that is the largest permanent exhibit of Barbie dolls in the world.

Barbie Permanent Expo in Downtown Montreal, Canada

It was absolutely amazing experience __ there were over thousand barbies __ from entertainment industry barbies to movie characters and personalities to fashionista barbies,  dressed by leading fashion houses, including Burberry, Prada, Balenciaga and also, barbies dressed in different national costumes from all over the world. (If you follow me on Instagram you should have seen it in my InstaStories.)
After that, we went to The Westin Montreal __ luxurious hote, located in Old Montreal.

Unfortunately, the hotel didn't impress us, to say the least. When we got to our room, you could see stains all over the floor and the bed sheets were covering the mattrass only half way__ something that you never expect from the hotel that charges you more than $300 a night (?!). In the end, they offered us a new room, cleaner than first room, but overall, it was not the hotel that would ever make us want to visit Westin hotels  again, unless it's Westin Rome in Rome, Italy, that we stayed in, two years ago, and it was so spectacular, we just didn't want to leave.

Anyways, moving to a different, cleaner room took some extra time so by the time we were ready to explore Montreal, it was already late evening. We strolled down the street towards Place D'Armes and Notre-Dame Basilica, in Old Montreal, and at that point, all we wanted was to find a place where we could have dinner.
Near Notre-Dame Basilica, we found a cute Italian restaurant where we had nice dinner and after getting some coffee, (and dessert for my daughter,) we were ready to go back to hotel and rest.

Next morning, after a quick breakfast at the hotel, we drove to Quebec City and spent all day there.

Breakfast at Westin Montreal

It was very charming and beautiful. Even though it rained couple of times while were there, it didn't ruin our mood, eating some gelato in cafe and getting some souvenirs must have helped us not to worry about rain, haha.

We visited  a few must-see places that I am going to write about in a different post, but for now, let me tell you that Quebec City was so amazing, we decided to go back next summer and stay longer.
Late night, we drove back to Montreal and went straight to the hotel.
Next morning, after quick breakfast, we drove around the city, took some pictures, ate lunch and left Montreal.

After 4-hour of driving, on the way we stopped by cute small town in New York state and found the small charming place to have early dinner.

First thing that will come to your mind when you think about Tiffany&Co. is classic, beautiful, sophisticated  jewelry but did you know that Tiffani&Co. also has some amazing fragrances? __ I didn't , honestly.. until I didn't receive this gift set from my husband. 

I remember, first few minutes of disappoint because I usually expect perfumes from my all-time favorite brands like Burberry, Dior, Chanel and etc, but after I sprayed it on my wrist I loved the scent.

Top note: Vert de Mandarine

Middle note: Blue Iris

Base note: Patchouli, Musk

Fresh, classic and sophisticated __ that's how I would describe this Tiffany&Co. Eau de Parfum in three words. This is a radiant and modern scent that opens with vibrant top notes of vert de mandarine. At its heart, the signature ingredient _ iris flower _ adds femininity. It dries down on the skin with warm nuances of patchouli and gentle musky notes, but I barely smell these notes on my skin.

This sparkling floral musk fragrance is designed around the noble iris, a flower _ associated with Tiffany as a recurring motif in its jewelry designs.

As for longetivity, it lasts almost all day on me so I'm I have nothing to complain about.

This fragrance can be worn any season of the year, including summer, since its not overwhelming scent. It's slightly floral with slight sweetness and freshness.

This perfume git set includes a full size (2.5 FL Oz) and travel size perfumes and comes in the signature Tiffany&Co. Blue Box. Just like the scent itself, the bottle is also simple and classic. The crystal bottle recalls the iconic Tiffany Yellow Diamond cut and inside the bottle you can see a delicate juice with the slightest tint of blue. 

Have you had Tiffany&Co. perfumes yet? How you liked them? Let me know in the comments below.
