Tempête d’Automne

With regard to scent, this is a masterpiece of sensuous, dry woodiness. I LOVE fragrances like these. Reminds me a bit of SJP Stash, and I think it has to be the pepper accord which they share. It also has a Lalique Encre Noire vibe, which is another one I love, and I think Tempête d’Automne has the same darkness and smoky feel that Encre Noire has. When I first sampled Encre Noire, I had a very "OHHH!" moment when I sensed how different and magnetic that fragrance was for me. I had the same reaction today when I removed the cap of Tempête d’Automne to sample it for the first time. It shares a deep, woody, dry earthiness - and a darkness - with both of the above-mentioned fragrances that I just cannot get enough of. When I lift my wrist to my nose, it's like stepping into another realm. Very dark and mysterious, otherworldly and not of this time. Tempête d’Automne has a very dry, and somewhat masculine vibe, although I will have no problem whatsoever wearing this anywhere, maybe with the exception of a very formal event, and that's simply because I think it could be abrasive next to feminine evening wear. I could, however, see this on the kind of woman who might be pantsuit-forward for an evening out. I would love to smell this on the right man. WOW. Sillage and longevity are both weak to moderate, and I'd love to find something a bit better quality that would last and project. I've had it on less than two hours, and I'm already tempted to re-spray a bit. Scent is a 10 - so well-blended and magnificent, but longevity and projection keep it from being a total package. I will still wear it often, and will simply have to re-apply liberally. Edited to add: As time goes on, I'm definitely smelling a Palo Santo vibe. Edit 2: Upon waking the morning after having sampled this fragrance the day before, I am enveloped in a sensuous cloud of this spectacular fragrance. I must have become somewhat insensitive to it the day I applied it, because it was still going strong the next morning. I enjoyed it immensely while making my coffee! I am changing my longevity rating to moderate to long-lasting. It clearly goes the distance.

So so GOOD! Id read somewhere that this scent was "Boring" bc once it dries down it "Just smells like Cinnamon".. NOT TRUE! Yes, I suppose I can pick out some Cinnamon, but its way more nuanced than that! GORGEOUS fresh AND warm spices along with the creamy Lactonic "Milk note" and barely there leather note make this a Fall/Winter, Signature Scent worthy, Bomb-A$$ scent! Cant wait till things cool down just a bit here in Florida so that I can rock Tempête D'Automne as much as possible! Lasts long on skin (7 to 8 hrs) with good projection the first hour and settling a bit closer thereafter. Super Unique, DEFINATELY "Niche", and I TOTALLY lucked out as I decided to grab a 3.4 oz bottle for around $25 FREAKIN' BUCKS on Fragrancenet before it was gone a few days ago! So glad I grabbed this along with L'oree Du Bois which is a Unisex-leaning masculine Floral and Vers le Sur which is a Fig-Leaf, tart, green summer gem. ALL BOMB-A$$ FRAGRANCES and its so sad theyve been discontinued! Tempête D'Automne is a real LOVE for me and an 8.5 outta 10 fragrance imo! So "Yummy" and Cozy! It Meika me hoppy!☺️

Surprisingly enough, this comes off pretty fresh. Really quite office safe. Clean classic masculine leaning unisex. I don't understand why people are dogging on this. It's one of my favorites from the line. Maybe because it doesn't come of as a maceys ethyl maltol mega sweet cheapie or some clone packed with ambroxan and iso e super. Clean, subtly floral, some spices with detectable cinnamon. This really is my kind of stuff. This will not wow a crowd, but it will elevate an attire. 22% oil concentration parfum. This is not an extrait concentration. Decent projection and longevity. The perfumer is known for smooth blends.

I absolutely love this scent. It's a delight. Sweet, creamy, milky rivers. A warming, enveloping scent of lactone and coumarin. For me, the scent seems to split in two, like sitting on a cool autumn veranda with a mug of boiled milk sprinkled with cinnamon and marshmallows. It truly does remind me of fallen, fiery leaves: hay-like, slightly earthy, a little mushroomy. I also detect a hint of warm body; perhaps this is the very leather mentioned in the pyramid. To me, leather here is warm and alive, not the scent of leather goods.

Tempête d’Automne has quickly become my favorite from the line. It comes across as a spicier take on arroz con leche, with a rich, creamy gourmand profile that feels both comforting and refined. Cinnamon, sandalwood, and a milky accord take center stage, creating a smooth, enveloping warmth. At the same time, touches of lavender and leather add a bit of structure and keep it from leaning too sweet, giving the fragrance a more polished, grown up feel. Overall, it’s a beautifully balanced gourmand and an easy pick for fall.
