Just for Fun - A Poem About Fall Perfumes

As leaves turn colors, the air grows chill
The scents of fall we wish to instill
Perfumes of pumpkins, cinnamon, spice
Sparkling fires and apple pie slice

Aromas filling the crisp autumn breeze
Reminiscent of memories we seize
Of hayrides, bonfires, and cozy nights
Sitting snuggled under bright moonlight

Notes of amber, musk, and vanilla
Sweet earthy fragrances that will thrill ya
Captivating the senses as we stroll
In the crunch of leaves beneath our sole

Fall perfumes, an ode to the season
Excite with every scent, every reason
To embrace the changing of the year
As we inhale autumn’s atmosphere.
