If there's one thing to get excited about as summer comes to a close, it's the start of new fall fragrances [1]. As you slowly begin to transition from your comfy summer clothing and bright-red lipsticks to warmer alternatives in your wardrobe and makeup, now is the time to also start thinking about switching up your signature scent [2] to match the cosy, moody energy of the next few months. Think: warm, dark, and sensual perfumes that remind you of sipping pumpkin spice lattes and looking at foliage.
We'll admit that there are lots of new fall fragrances that blend fresh and fruity notes that remind you of a summer day at the beach with woodier aromas that make you feel like you're being wrapped up in a cushy blanket. Read ahead to get a look at a few of our favourite new perfumes that you'll want to douse yourself in as soon as fall arrives.
Rebecca Minkoff Eau de Parfum
Just as chic as her modern handbags, Rebecca Minkoff's first foray into fragrance will have you at first sniff. The Rebecca Minkoff Eau de Parfum [3] ($95) is a warm and sensual scent, blending hits of spicy cardamom essence and coriander seeds with lighter jasmine and bergamot.
Avon Velvet Crème Veil Cushion
What if we told you that your perfume doesn't always have to come out of a spray bottle? The Avon Velvet Crème Veil Cushion [4] ($36) is fragrance that comes in the form of a cushion compact that you can press and dab on any desired part of your body. Housed inside is a classically warm scent of fig, rose, and patchouli.
Diptyque Paris Philosykos Travel Spray
Diptyque Paris recently rolled out a collection of pocket-sized, customizable travel sprays that you can take with you anywhere (instead of grabbing the entire spray bottle). It's available in four scents, but our favourite is the Diptyque Paris Philosykos Travel Spray [5] ($115), which is inspired by the smell of fig trees in Greece.
Chloé Rose Tangerine Eau de Toilette
For anyone looking for a light fall spritzer, Chloé's new fragrance, Chloé Rose Tangerine Eau de Toilette [6] ($109), ties together the scent of tangerine, rose, and blackcurrant for a fresh and fruity experience.
Atelier Cologne Clémentine California x Quentin Monge
With notes of fresh clementines, the Atelier Cologne Clémentine California x Quentin Monge [7] ($140) will remind you of sunshine and everything else you're going to miss about summer.
Jo Malone London Lost In Wonder Cologne
The Jo Malone London Lost In Wonder Cologne [8] ($142) is a dreamy, ethereal scent inspired by the ancient Hanging Gardens of Babylon. It's a floral cologne that blends notes of fresh figs with sumptious lotus flowers.
Aerin Fleur de Peony
Aerin Fleur de Peony [9] ($135) is like a celebration in a bottle. It's light and airy, plus features notes of jasmine, peonies, and musk to create a scent that's the perfect blend of warm and sweet.
K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum
Unlike its name, the K by Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Parfum [10] ($115) is an intense men's fragrance — with notes of citrus, blood orange, juniper berry, and cardamom — that's meant to make you feel like royalty when you wear it.
