Since Thierry Mugler Angel‘s release in 1992, creamy gourmands were all the rage in women’s perfumes. This pioneering perfume took oriental perfumes, usually filled with sweet fruits and amber, to the next level by adding other mouth-watering edible notes like caramel and chocolate. The trend of chocolatey gourmands, baked goods gourmands, and candy gourmands completely overtook and dominated the perfume industry for well over a decade. This season, we will see that gourmand trend starting to wane.

While the predicted best-selling perfumes of fall 2009 lack those edible notes of chocolate, sugar, or caramel, they are still creamy, warm and sweet. The closest nod to the fading gourmand trend would be the perfume pair, Saint and Sinner, from Kat Von D. The big trend with will be sweet flowers and fruits overlaid an ambiguously sweet, creamy base of musk and vanilla. There will be one stand out scent among these best-sellers  which will integrate something new and exciting. This perfume will be Si Lolita from Lolita Lempicka. Read on to find out more about these top fall 2009 perfumes.

Lolita Lempick Si Lolita

Si Lolilta is currently available around Europe and will be launched in the US sometime in 2010. Si Lolita is a spicy floral with notes of pink peppercorn, pink peppercorn, bergamot, mandarin, sweet pea, Elemi balsam, patchouli, amber and tonka bean. The effect is said to be delicately sweet, milky and peppery all at once. To some it’s sounds like a soft, intricate symphony—a new and exciting floral construction. To others it’s too vague to seriously consider.

Marc Jacobs Lola

Marc Jacobs Lola is a new cold weather perfume that was launched late this summer. The notes include pink peppercorn, pear, grapefruit, peony, rose, geranium, vanilla, tonka bean and musk. Unlike Si Lolita, this perfume doesn’t do flips and turns through various perfume categories to be interesting. Lola is a solid sweet fruit-floral perfume. The warmth of musk, vanilla and tonka bean create a soft base that would suit many perfumistas’ tastes.

Dolce & Gabbana Rose The One

Other predicted best-selling perfumes fall into the same category as Marc Jacobs Lola, in that they embrace the general construction of a sweet fruity-floral with a vanillic musky base. Dolce & Gabbana Rose The One will be filled with black currant, grapefruit, mandarin, rose, lily, lychee, peony, sandalwood, amber, musk and vanilla. Sounds like a smoldering super sweet fruity-floral construction with blackcurrant and rose standing as the star notes.

Anna Sui Rock Me

Anna Sui Rock Me launched this fall is another sweet fruity-floral perfume that offers a woody vanilla base. Rock Me includes notes of orange, peach, pear, lily, honeysuckle, jasmine, cedar, amber and vanilla. Rock Me, coming in a guitar shaped bottle and effusing sugary fruity notes, will definitely appeal to the youthful crowd.

Kate Moss Vintage

Kate Moss is well-known fan of floral perfume. As devotee of classic floral perfumes, like Creed and Penghalion Bluebell and Geurlain L’Heure Bleue, it’s no surprise that Kate Moss latest perfume release features is a powdered vanillic floral. Kate Moss Vintage includes the following notes: pink peppercorn, freesia, mandarin, heliotrope, jasmine, almond, tonka bean, vanilla and musk.

Chantal Thomass Osez-moi

Released this summer, Chantal Thomass Osez-moi (or Dare Me) will transition well into the fall. Osez-moi includes frangipani blossoms, rose, chamomile, peony, vanilla, musk and vetiver. Osez-moi will be another vanillic floral scents to throw into the fall perfume lineup. This time, however, Osez-moi highlights soft creamy florals and adds smoky texture to this common perfume construction.

Kate Von D Saint & Sinner

The debut of Kat Von D’s fragrance line offers two fruity-floral perfumes. Sinner is filled with orange blossom, mandarin, plum, jasmine, cinnamon, vetiver, patchouli, woods, vanilla, and musk. Saint’s notes includes plum, mandarin, gardenia, caramel, jasmine, vanilla, musk, and sandalwood. While both are intensely sweet, one perfume maximizes its fruity-floral character with cinnamon spice and the other highlights its fruity-floral character with creamy, smoky caramel.

D&G Fragrance Anthology L’Imperatrice 3

Launched late this summer, Dolce & Gabbana’s Fragrance Anthology features a number of solid perfumes and cologne. L’Imperatrice 3 will probably be the stand out fragrance that will transition easily from summer to cooler weather. L’Imperatrice is a light zesty mix of fruits and flowers. Sounds familiar? It may be so, but L’Imperatrice stands out just a little by offering a very soft, barely there base. L’Imperatrice includes notes of  watermelon, kiwi, pink cyclamen and musk. L’Imperatrice is a god-send for those who cannot endure creamy, heavy basenotes.

Juicy Couture Couture

Juicy Couture Couture, released this summer, is another addition to the creamy florals already sitting in Juicy Couture’s lineup. Couture includes mandarin, orange blassom, grapefruit, jasmine, honeysuckle, plum, vanilla and sandalwood. This Juicy Couture fragrance includes the requisite zesty opening, sweet and creamy florals, and softly sweet base. This perfume construction has been a long popular favorite among perfumistas, so one more perfume added to the mix can’t hurt!

StellaNUDE

After a long court battle over the name of this fragrance, StellaNUDE was launched this summer. StellaNUDE is a lighter, more fresh version of the creamy floral perfumes. This fragnrace includes Moroccan rose, grapefruit, peony, pink peppercorn, vanilla and amber. Stella promises this rose fragrance will be fresh and sparkling. Whatever the outcome, the vanillic and amber notes will bring this rose-perfume into the lineup of fall perfume favorites.

Si Lolita promises to offer a refreshing new take on floral perfumes, while Kat Von D Saint and Sinner duo will offer two great gourmand perfumes. Marc Jacobs Lola will probably lead in the fruity-floral arena. And those looking for vanillic floral perfumes Kate Moss Vintage. StellaNUDE promises to provide a light relief from the typically creamy fare of vanillic florals. What will be your go-to perfume this fall?

Daisy is a nice daytime scent. It’s pretty, very lady-like and subtle. It’s clean, but not crisp. Warm and sunny, is more like it. One Daisy user commented, “There are many notes in this fragrance, however all I smell is “Daisy.” It’s simple and beautiful, delicate and pure. It’s a good “running out the door fragrance” when you can’t decide what perfume you’re in the mood for. It’s just plain pretty! Sometimes simple is better!” This fragrance is straightforward and not at all complex. Your nose wouldn’t get lost in the cacophony of floral accords. The rhythm of flowers, fruits and musks sit well together like a perfect blend of summer-y florals that lingers.

A more intense version of Daisy comes in a luxury edition that features the same notes but this time in eau de parfum formula. Daisy Black is bolder, more decadent, more lasting. Expect the same sparkling bouquet of flowers wrapped in the comforting warmth of vanilla and amber. Sillage improved as it lasts longer than the original. Perfumistas have taken note of its striking difference from the parent, “If you are a fan of the original, this version will come as no surprise to you. It is still the same wonderfully fresh scent. Oh, but the staying power is totally different! It stays for hours and hours… What is left after the top and middle notes of heavenly flowers have faded is a delicate musky-vanilla-gardenia mix.” Noticeably, there’s more violet and jasmine. It’s comes off as a seductive fragrance sans the cloying sweetness of similar floral based eau de parfum.

Daisy’s quintessential scent is housed in a lovely bottle with daisy petal inspired stopper. The original Daisy comes in a beige colored bottle with white stopper whereas the luxe version comes in a black bottle topped with a gold-colored stopper.
Marc Jacobs introduced his namesake fashion line in 1986 and quickly became the youngest designer to win the CFDA Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent. Jacobs penchant for eclectic designs is evident in his creations. He blends the old and the new, the mundane and the elegant, the grunge and the demure.

“I like romantic allusions to the past: what the babysitter wore, what the art teacher wore, what I wore during my experimental days in fashion when I was going to the Mudd Club and wanted to be a New Wave kid or a punk kid but was really a poseur. It’s the awkwardness of posing and feeling like I was in, but I never was in. Awkwardness gives me great comfort.” – Marc Jacobs, NY Magazine
