20 Delish Fall Fragrances That Live Up to Your Fall Vibes Mood Boards
When you think of fall fragrances, what immediately comes to mind? For most of us, it’s those signature warm, cozy, autumnal scents like spiced apple, sweet cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla, and woodsy vetiver that we start to crave as soon as the first chill enters the air. Unlike our go-to summer scents that are usually light, fruity, and airy (we spritzed apple- and tangerine-scented KENSIE So Pretty all summer on the reg), fall perfumes call for layers of more complex notes full of depth and nostalgia.
If you’re ready for your autumn fragrance vibes to match your PSL vibes (we’ve already got ours in hand with pumpkin-picking dates planned), we’ve got you covered. Check out 20 of the best fall fragrances to spritz all season (some even adored by Ipsters like you!).
1. A Fall Getaway:
COMMODITY Milk Expressive Fragrance
This addictive scent mixes notes of cold milk, marshmallow, and mahogany together to create an earthy combo that transports us to a cozy cabin in the woods. It’s one of those homey and genderless scents that we love for layering. “There are layers that build upon each other, leaving you with such a beautiful, warm, and cuddly scent. I love, love, love, this one. It also blends well with other scents, so if you like to blend scents, this is a great base!” says one Ipster.
2. A Romantic Rendezvous:
MICHELLE GERMAIN Emily in Paris Eau de Parfum Spray
“Everything about this fragrance is captivating, from the packaging to the bottle to your very first spritz. It starts with a burst of fresh citrus, followed by bergamot. I love it!” one Ipster raves. We totally agree. If you’re as obsessed with Emily in Paris as we are, you’ll be hooked on this dreamy EDP thanks to a seductive cocktail of neroli, French pear, black currant, and burgundy that’s perfect for those who like a little citrus twist in a warm fall scent.
3. A Long-Lasting Scent:
THE LIFESTYLE Co. Mood Perfume
When it comes to fall weather, mood is everything—which is why we love spritzing this nostalgic perfume when we really want to lean into our sweater-weather feels. Saffron, jasmine, amber, cedarwood, and amber evoke a warm and spicy scent that feels so comforting and familiar. Even better, we applied it in the morning before heading out to work and were amazed at how we didn’t have to reapply at all throughout the day.
4. A Toasty To-Go Scent:
SKYLAR Fall Cashmere Eau de Parfum
If you’re looking for a signature scent that you can take on the road, consider this your new travel bestie. “I love woodsy, nature, or floral-based scents, and this product embodies that perfectly,” one Ipster so accurately describes. A little bit of musk with a layerable finish (thanks to notes of toasted almond, ginger, and caramelized vanilla), make this one perfume that we love to use all year round.
5. A Nature Trip:
MAISON LOUIS MARIE No.09 Vallée de Farney Eau de Parfum
Who says destination vacations are only meant for summer? Inspired by Vallée de Farney, a nature preserve in the native forests of Mauritius Island, this intoxicating EDP transported us out of New York to a land far, far away. It’s a perfect setting of wild woods and musk (thanks to cedarwood and patchouli), with an uplifting addition of black pepper, orange, and grapefruit.
6. A Balanced Blend:
5 SENS Twin Flame Eau de Parfum
Transitioning from cool, citrusy summer scents, to warm, heavier fall fragrances sometimes calls for a transition period. When we want something light and airy for those crisp, but still summery fall days, we reach for this mix. Cool cucumber and white musk keep things feeling nice and breezy, while cardamom and Indian sandalwood add some earthy depth. We were especially surprised at how easily we could wear this scent year round if we wanted to.
7. An Almost Oil:
LAURA MERCIER Ambre Vanille Eau De Parfum
One word: rich. That’s how we describe the luxurious texture of this intoxicating treat (and how it made us feel). “I bought this for my daughter and I’ve tried this on myself. It’s absolutely beautiful with a lovely vanilla scent that is not overbearing,” one Ipster tells us. The key? It’s made with a high concentration of fragrance oil, giving it shockingly good staying power that smells better the longer you wear it. The notes? Amber, vanilla, tangerine, tiger orchid, sandalwood, brown sugar, and many more.
8. A Feel-Good Gourmand:
DEFINEME Fragrance Rami-Clear Quartz Perfume
We love a gourmand scent that features all the things we love about fall, like salted caramel, almond, figs, and black cherry (yum!). Even better, this fragrance was specifically made with the brand’s gourmand rami scent and clear quartz, which both are intended to inspire purpose, clarity, focus, and manifestation, so you can enter the season with positive vibes. One Ipster says, “I love this perfume. I'm so picky with perfumes and don't like most of them that other people like, but this one is a keeper!.”
9. A Cozy, Clean Scent:
COMMODITY Paper Personal
It’s hard to choose a favorite BYREDO fall fragrance but there’s just something about the intense, woody Oud Immortel. It contains top notes of incense and cardamom, a heart of Brazilian rosewood, rapyrus, and patchouli, and base notes of moss, tobacco leaves, and oud. Wear it on a date — trust us.
10. JO MALONE Orange Blossom Cologne
This fresh floral scent is warmer than you would expect, making it perfect for fall. We’re talking clementine flower over a heart of orange blossom and water lily. Warm undertones of orris and balsamic vetiver take the fragrance from a summer scent to a fall one.
11. YVES SAINT LAURENT Libre
We know more than a few beauty editors that swear by YVES SAINT LAURENT’s Libre as their signature scent. And for good reason. It’s a floral fragrance that’s bolder than most, thanks to lavender essence with Moroccan orange blossom and notes of musk and vanilla. Wear it and people’s heads will turn.
12. LE LABO Ambrette 9 Eau de Parfum
This floral scent is unique because of how rare the main ingredient is. Ambrette grain is the only musky scent made by nature. It’s fresh and soft with a combination of citrus and fruit, and powdery in the best, prettiest way possible.
