Raining Perfumes: Five New Fragrances for Fall 2008
Exuberant as the Fall 2008 fashions, this season's perfumes are a splash of juicy, sparkly scents. Some will transport you back into the bouncy days of summer; others will rush in the fresh September rain. Here are our top five fragrance picks for Fall.
[Juicy Couture] Viva La Juicy
This brand definitely has a huge fan club, and no wonder, with the original fashion and accessory lines, a dog scent and a wild advertising campaign for their men's cologne, Dirty English.
Viva la Juicy comes in an extravagant packaging, complete with a fuchsia bow. It's just a taste of how rich and juicy the scent is - first hitting you with the notes of wild berries and mandarins, and then intoxicating with a splash of gardenia and jasmine (my favorite combination).
Perfect for fall, amber, caramel, vanilla and sandalwood add to the tantalizing scent of Viva la Juicy. Don't pass this one up.
You will feel: seductive, tempting, sexy

[Nina Ricci] Pretty Nina
A follow-up to her 2006 Nina fragrance, Pretty Nina evoked some sweet childhood memories - lollypops, licorice, cinnabuns and apples.
It is in full bloom with rich vanilla, jasmine and musk notes, but also fruity with a hint of grapefruit, green apple and berry. A wonderful perfume pick for late summer and early fall, it will put you in great spirits on a rainy day.
You will feel: like a little girl in a candy store

[Avon] Mark Earth
A perfect fall scent, Mark Earth by Avon reminds me of the scent of fresh grass after a rainy day.
It's exactly how the earth smells in the fall, lush and wonderful. And just like the blend of colors you will soon see on the trees, this fragrance combines beautiful notes of greens, fresh-cut flowers and sandalwood. It is light yet memorable.
You will feel: regal and confident

Charmingly delicious by DKNY is a perfect summer gift that will serve you well into fall.
Many of the spring/summer fashion trends are transferring into the fall styles - florals, ruffles, and more - so why not bring in a few summer scents?
Donna Karan brings this one in a unique package - adorned with a little apple charm to hint at the strongest note in the fragrance - the green apple. The scent is like a happening bright summer party, with a mix of red fruits, yummy apple, dewy water notes and intriguing vanilla.
You will feel: fresh, energized, globe-trotter
