Some of my favourite scents for cooler weather, with a dark academic vibe. All of these perfumes make me think of cozy nights and blustery days. All unisex, at a variety of price points. If you guys like this, I’ll make one for Light Academia scents as well! Details below.
Jazz Club - Maison Martin Margiela
Boozy cocktails in a smoky bar, with a sweetness that ties it all together. MMM calls this a male scent, but it's got enough vanilla that I think it leans really unisex. Great in colder weather, smells perfect on a wooly jumper. My boyfriend likes to borrow this.
Nirvana Amethyst - Elizabeth and James
Floral tobacco with a dash of pencil shavings. This is what your 90s revival poet friend wears. It is elegant and well blended, but the cedar pencil note keeps it from being stuffy.
Étui Noir - Miller Harris
Old leather jacket and smoky incense. Very moody, dark with a strong gothic vibe. Buy this if your favourite colour is black. Spray with caution - it is very strong!
No. 3 Pomegranate - Hotel Collection
Spicy pomegranate and rhubarb. Fruity but not sweet, with plenty of spicy pepper and cloves. Complex, it is the opposite of 'cute'. This is what pumpkin spice wants to be when it growns up. No. 3 is a dupe of Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir, but sold at Aldi. BARGAIN BUY, people! Even on reseller sites (amazon, ebay) you can normally pick it up for less than £15.
