I’m a perfume nerd and love nothing more than a good fragrance list!
This perfume oil is my favorite fall scent this year. It moves away from more traditional spice or fruity notes and truly gives the feeling of walking in an autumn forest. It lasts well on the skin and is both subtle and calming.
November in the Temperate Deciduous Forest - Perfume Oil
I normally don’t care for vanilla scents, as I don’t want to smell like a dessert. This is different - warm and hypnotic. More like a well-stocked spice cabinet than a cake.
Vanilla Nomad Fragrance - 100% Vegan Perfume
This is described as a tropical scent, but the sultry ginger notes make this a lovely autumn scent.
Ingenious Ginger
Lovely unisex choice, again with more sultry rather than sweet vanilla notes.
Dark is Night
If smelling like a campfire is your goal, this will definitely get you there! Not a scent I’d wear every day, but stands out from the crowd. Also a unisex fragrance.
Fireside Story - Perfume Oil
Here’s your spooky scent for this year’s Halloween parties!
Ectoplasm - Perfume Oil by Fantôme
Another oil option - I like the clean intensity of oils, and even use them for my wool dryer balls!
Smoke & Mirrors Perfume
Too obvious? Maybe, but it makes the list anyway.
REPLICA Autumn Vibes, Eau de Toilette by Maison Margiela
I love a good tea perfume any time of year, but fall is the perfect time for black tea notes!
Black Tea
Perhaps you’ve noticed that I really enjoy tea notes? Guilty, but unremorseful.
New Jaipur Chai (gourmand) — INeKE Perfumes - San Francisco, California
Okay so full disclosure, I haven’t actually smelled this, but what could be more autumnal and cozy than a wool sweater fragrance?
Icelandic Wool History Parfums for women and men
I don’t normally love gourmands, but I legit tracked someone down in a store to ask what they were wearing and it was this. It’s somehow rich without being overly sweet or heavy. Adding it to my rotation for fall.
Heavy Cream Body & Hair Mist
Love that this is available in varying intensities.
Moss
Gives the feeling of curling up with a good book and a cup of tea.
English Major Extrait de Parfum - Sorce
Okay fine, it’s a candle, but your house needs to smell good too!
Candied Cardamom and Ginger candle
I’m a massive fan of this travel-inspired perfume house and this scent in particular is ideal for fall - like walking down cobblestone streets in a long wool jacket and boots.
