Now that pumpkin spice season is officially around the corner, it's time to swap out your breezy summer scents for cosy fall fragrances. After all, autumn is more than a season—it's a lifestyle, and perfumes are of the utmost importance when it comes to getting in the mood for just about anything. The best fragrances for autumn and fall, with their crisp and gourmand notes that envelope you with their cosiness and carry you into winter, are a great representation of the season itself. These scents provide a seamless transition from the airy florals and sea-inspired fresh notes of summer to more grounded spicy musk blends that are arguably better when layered (much like your favourite wardrobe essentials).
As for what scents are trending this year? Forest fragrances, in particular, are captivating consumers this fall, with a specific focus on woody, aromatic families. Meanwhile, on TikTok, everyone’s obsessing over gorgeous gourmands and warm vanillas.
Fortunately, we don’t gatekeep. Whether you're looking to get a jump start on fall with the season's classic notes, like sandalwood and patchouli or round out your favourites with something a bit more gourmand or fruit-forward, we’ve got something for you. From Yves Saint Laurent’s sensual and sultry Libre eau de parfum to Maison Margiela Replica's Autumn Vibes perfume that hits the season right on the nose, you can alternate your fragrances quikcer than the season's foliage changes colours.
