I live in Canada and my favourite niche fall fragrance is November in a Temperate Forest by For Strange Women
My favourite new to me fall niche fragrance is Miller Harris La Fumée. I’m in Canada.
I’m in the US; feel free to contact me.
My favorite fall scent is indie rather than niche: Sonoma Scent Studio Tabac Aurea — golden and glorious.
Exciting!
I’m in Canada and I’m crazy for ambers this fall. Lately I’ve been obsessed with Sultan Pasha Attars Resine Precieux.
Thanks Robin for the giveaway!
I live in the USA and you can use my email.
My favorite fall fragrance this year is Hiram Green Arbole Arbole. Really amazing!
I live in the US and you may use my email. I love three fall scents – Mitsouko, Dzongkha, and Dame New Musk Man. Anything from the Tokyo Milk Dark collection would be one of my favorite spooky scents.
Robin, thanks for the giveaway!
I live in the US you can use my email and my favorite fall fragrance is PHI Rose de Kandahar.
I live in the US. I’ve been wearing Tauer’s Amber Flash a lot lately. It’s a warm, comforting scent that’s perfect for slightly chilly weather. Thanks for the giveaway, Robin!
I live in the US and my favorite niche fall fragrance is Tauer’s au cour du Désert.
I live in the US and some of my favorites fall fragrances are Shalimar, Chergui, Noir de Noir, Lonesome Rider- too many to name!
Thanks for the shot at this! I am in the US and last night wore Boudicca Wode, which is perfect for the rainy fall days we are having.
Thank you for the opportunity.
I am in the US, one of the scents which is currently growing on me as a fall scent is Mechant Loup by L’Artisan Parfumeur.
I live in Canada, you may use my email address, and my favourite fall scent ever, not precisely niche but at least discontinued, is Yves Rocher Nature Millenaire Pour Homme, which captures the smell of fall better than any scent I’ve ever owned, all dark damp humus and dry leaves and spice. It’s glorious. (I Profumi di Firenze’s Terra di Siena is a relative, not as good but easily available.)
Ooh, a contest Canadians can enter! (Yes to being in Canada and using my email.) While my most autumnal perfume is Le Labo’s Patchouli 24, perfect for kicking up leaves, I actually wear Cuir de Lancome more ‘pcs it’s an office scent and I am a working stiff.
Oh how cool! I live in the US 🙂 I’d like to say my favorite fall fragrance is Ambre Narguile, but that’s in no way niche, so I’d say Safran Troublant or Chergui, but those are barely niche too. Sooooo. Oh you know what? I should take out my decant of Dries Van Noten. Or is that too winter? I’ll just say SSS Champagne de Bois (oh no, that’s indie, isn’t it?!). I give up. I have no niche fall favorites.
I’m in the US- you may use my email! I am grooving on Chergui this fall.
I’m in the US, and you may use my email.
My favorite ‘spooky’ perfumes at the moment are the House of Matriarch Twin Peaks trio. I like them all, but Future’s Past is my favorite.
I live in the US. I’ve been wearing Encre Noire a lot this fall, but then it is apprpo any time of year!
As always, thanks for the giveaways. 🙂
I live in the U.S. and you can use my email. My favorite niche for fall is Dzing, but DSH’s Chinchilla is a close runner up . . .
Thanks for the contest!
I am in the U.S. and my email is at your service. Favorite niche for fall might be Blocki This Grand Affair-cozy, warm and elegant. Trayee might qualify for spooky. It’s kind of mysterious. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m in the US and you may use my email.
My favorite niche scent for fall — at least this fall — is Divine’s L’Homme Sage. That saffron opening just seems perfect for the season.
I’m too much of a flibbertigibbit to choose one niche fragrance for fall, but I do see that Dzing! from the swapmeet has taken up residence on my dresser lately.
I’m in the US, and I thank you for the giveaway!
I’m not sure if Jo Malone is still considered niche, but I love wearing Wood Sage and Sea Salt in the fall. I live near the ocean and it’s a good approximation of a chilly, wind swept beach. I live in the US. Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US, and I don’t have a favorite fall fragrance. I just haven’t found the one. Right now I’m wearing l’Eau d’Ambre by l’Artisan Parfumeur, but it’s too …just amber on me to be a favorite.
I live in the US, and of course you can contact me if I win.
I don’t really have a favorite niche fragrance for fall, but I always find myself craving Prada Candy this time of year.
Thank you for the opportunity to win!
I live in the US, please do contact me if I win.
Favorite niche: Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin.
Favorite spooky: Dr Profundis by the same (my roommate said it smelled like “the killing fields,” so I refrained from purchasing it).
DROOL. I live in the US, and my favorite niche for fall is slumberhouse Vikt!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Yes, I live in the US
c) I wish I had smelled enough and owned enough to have a favorite fall niche fragrance, or a favorite spooky niche fragrance. Winning this Juicebox will help all of my dreams come true.
Awesome! I’m in the U.S. and my fave fall fragrances are L’AP Dzing! (I see that’s getting a lot of well-deserved love), DSH Cimabue, and SL Chergui.
I’m in Canada. My fave “spooky” fragrance is Etro Messe de Minuit.
I live in the USA.

Favorite autumnal niche Diptyque Eau Lente.
I live in the U.S.
If it ever gets cold this fall, my favorite will be Union’s Celtic Fire. If it stays balmy-to-mildly-chilly then I’m really enjoying Jubilation 25 and OJ Woman (are those niche?)
Thanks for doing this! I live in the US, and right now I’m enjoying Van Cleef & Arpels’ L’ Automne, and Solstice Scents’ Riverside Hayride.
I live in the US and my current fall fragrance is Violette In Love by Patricia de Nicolai. Thank you for the giveaway!
Hi Robin, I’m in the US and like Vanilla Flash in the autumn.
And here I proclaimed to be downsizing-LOL! I would love to try the Dasein and all the other googies….I live in the USA and yes you can contact me via email. My favorite autumn fragrance at the moment is Dame Perfumery Earth Mother.
Thanks for the contest! I live in the US, and you may use my e-mail address.
My favorite fall scents are Gris Clair and Lonesome Rider. I really wish fall would get here and stay!
I live in the US and you can contact me via email. I’ve been alternating between ELdO Eau de Protection and Like This to get me in the fall mood!
I live in the US and you can contact me via email. I’m really enjoying Imaginary Author’s a City on Fire, but only on chilly nights.
HI, I love in the US and you may use my addresses.
By far my favorite fall scent so far is Ormande Woman.
sorry, live in US
I’m in the US and we just might get some fall weather for the first time today, so I don’t have my fall rotation going yet.
Thanks for the draw!!
I live in the US,and my favorite spooky perfume is Messe de Minuit.
Thanks for the contest!
I have a US address, you may use my email, and I am happily wearing L’Occitane Eau des Baux (not quite niche) and PdN Patchouli Intense for Fall.
Thanks for the chance. I am in the U.S. and you can use my email. I love so many fall fragrances, but I’m unclear about the differences between niche, indie, and other. I’ll toss out a few and hope at least one makes the bulls-eye: OJ Woman, Dame Earth Mother, ELDO Like This, Diptyque Philosokos.
Totally made for me!!!!
I live in the US and right now obsessed with Autumn by Dasein -a nice dry woody cinammon.
Thanks for the chance!!!!!!
I’m in the US,
Dzongkha calls to me this fall,
and thank you for the fun-fabulous draw.
I live in the US, and this fall I’ve been craving a fragrance combo I don’t actually have in perfume form! I’ve been mixing sachets of whole clove and cardamom with some (diluted) rose absolute and a drop of patchouli oil. If I hadn’t given up smoking last year, I’d probably put a little bit of pipe tobacco in there as well.
(PS: if anyone has a recommendation for the above smell distilled into a perfume, do chime in!)
Wow, how did I miss this? I live in the U.S., and my favorite niche fragrance for fall is Kerosene Broken Theories. Winter too. 🙂
I live in the US and my favorite niche frag for fall is Vanilla Smoke by Aftelier. Yummy.
I live in the US! I have too many niche favorites to even list but I’m really enjoying my sample of Comme des Garcons Concrete.
I live in the US and my fall favorite (today at least) is a tie between Trayee and Safran Troublant.
I am in Canada and you can use my e-mail
I have so many fall favorites but lately I am obsessed with Guerlain L’Heure Bleue perfume
I live in the US and you can contact me via email. I’ve been wanting to say how much I enjoy your holiday limited editions posts over the years. I always see stuff I’d like and drop hints for my husband for my birthday and the holidays.
I am in the U.S.
My favorite niche fragrance for (this) fall is Chergui.
Thank you for the giveaway!
i live in the US. I finally bought a large bottle of D&S Durga El Cosmico after living with samples for awhile. Thanks for the draw!
Fun! I live in the USA. One of my favorite fall niche scents is the sadly discontinues SSS Sienna Musk.
I live in the US! I don’t really have a favorite niche fragrance.
Ooh how fun! Thanks for this opportunity. I don’t have a favorite niche fall fragrance (or a spooky one), so I’ll go for option c). I got a small bottle of Rose Jam shower gel a few years ago, and it totally smells like the Strawberry Shortcake baby doll I had as a little kid! Which means whenever I smell Rose Jam, it also conjures up that Strawberry Shortcake sweet scent plus plastic doll head. Even though there may not be any plastic doll head in the Rose Jam–I just can’t tell because the memory takes over. Mmmm, plastic doll head. Isn’t that funny?
Oh, and I live in the US. Forgot to add that part.
I live in Canada, and would love to win this. I turned some papillon anubis into an oil, and it is a little spooky!
Hi, live in the U.S. and all that jazz. Not sure i have a favorite niche fragrance but I recently tried Bond No 9 Brooklyn and I was totally over the moon! Apparently it’s a unisex but I just loved the greenery of it. Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US and my current fall fave is Smell Bent’s Smoked Ambergris. So good.
Thank you for running this contest!
What a fun giveaway! I’m in the US and am currently enjoying the last of my FM Vetiver Extraordinaire sample as the weather goes from 80 to 50 F and back over the week. 🙂
