Summer perfume almost finished, any ideas for Autumnal fragrances?

I’m not keen on Jo Malone type perfumes.
My favourites are La vie Est Belle, Poeme and Hugo Boss Orange but all quite summery I guess.

Used to love Nina Ricci Bella but think it’s discontinued. It smelt of rhubarb!

Afraid I don't have any suggestions but I like all three of your favourites so I'm watching with interest.

I love Dior Addict, Tom Ford Lost Cherry, and Britney Intense Fantasy for Autumn/Winter. (PP dupes though)

I love Coco (not Mlle) for autumn.

But lately I've been wearing a vanilla body spray. Today I bought the pumpkin and vanilla body butter at The Body Shop and I have layered my Vanilla body spray over it and it smells gorgeous.

I have noticed that men don't usually care for the lovely, sophisticated and expensive perfumes I love... But when I wear cheap vanilla body spray, they rave about how good I smell. Go figure.

It sounds like you like fruity floral scents. Try L'Interdit by Givenchy or My Way by Giorio Armani. Both of these are florals with an undertone of vanilla or woodsy base.

Thanks all.
I tried the new Burberry perfume today, Goddess. Loved it but it’s very spendy!

Decided to try some dupes from The Essence Vault.
I've ordered Lost Cherry and Black Opium.
Fingers crossed!

I like spicy and woody perfumes - santal cardamome from fragonard is a favourite.

Goddess is lavender & vanilla (I think) -- could try mon guerlain or libre to see if you get on with those.

L'Occitane's Osmanthus, hands down. Osmanthus starts blooming from late September here and you feel its scent in the air everywhere you go.

Dior Addict is amazing.
