Who says you can't wear your fave summer-berry scent this fall? As long as it's not too light, floral, or citrusy, there's no reason you can't enjoy a berry-toned perfume til winter. Here are a few berry-licious suggestions...

Daisy's a little too summery to wear this time of year, but Dot is just perfect! It's upbeat but not too light, and the berry tones are actually sort of warm.
2. Hanae Mori Butterfly

This isn't a new fragrance - it's been around since 1996 - but it's still one of my favorites! I love the strawberry tone, which would be too sweet for fall, but not with the sandalwood tones it has, too.
3. Philosophy Falling in Love

I know, I know - this is quite summery, because it's so fresh and clean, but we can hope for Indian summer, can't we? Because I love the combination of blackberry, vanilla, and lily of the valley.
4. Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy so Intense

This is one of my favorite berry-toned perfumes, any time of year. I love the summer-time gardenia and fire, and the more fall-like caramel and amber tones.
5. Thierry Mugler Angel

This classic sweet scent is fine for fall, too, unless you've worn it all summer and you're looking for something with warmer tones.
6. Jimmy Choo Blossom

The sweet pea and rose tones whisper "summer" but the berry and musk say fall, for sure.
7. Fresh Brown Sugar
