"Crushingly Beautiful" Autumnal Fragrances
Fall on Campus was featured in Fragrantica's editorial exploration of evocative autumn fragrances.
Read the Fragrantica Feature →Fall on Campus was created to capture the atmosphere of autumn in DeKalb, Illinois during my college years. Damp leaves cling to the sidewalk after rain while cold air moves across wet concrete and stone. In the distance, smoke drifts from a late-night bonfire as the scent of freshly turned soil rolls in from the surrounding farmland.
Earth, air, smoke, woods, and amber come together to create the feeling of walking across campus on a cool autumn evening. The result is a fragrance that is contemplative, nostalgic, and deeply connected to a specific place and season.
What does Fall on Campus smell like?
Damp leaves after rain, cold stone walkways, tilled earth, distant bonfire smoke, and cool autumn air over soft amber woods and lingering warmth. Geosmin drives the petrichor at its heart, giving it the realistic scent of rain hitting dry earth and leaves.
