15 Fall Fragrances: The Best Scents to Fight the Post-Summer Blues

It’s that time of year again. The leaves are changing colors and the air is getting crisp and cool. With the onset of fall, we all start to feel a little bit gloomy. The days get shorter and colder and it becomes difficult to muster up enthusiasm for anything outside of our homes.

However, there is one thing that can make us forget about summer’s end – fragrance! There are so many amazing scents on the market, but these 15 Fall fragrances will give you some ideas if you’re looking for inspiration this season.

Lancôme Idôle Eau de Parfum

Lancôme Idôle Eau de Parfum is a fragrance for women with an elegant, powerful and confident personality. It was created by three female perfumers and blends bergamot, juicy pear, rose, jasmine, vanilla, white musk, and patchouli for a light yet decadent finish. 

It’s not every day you find a fragrance that is perfect for anyone. It can be difficult to find one that has the right balance of sweet, floral, and sensual notes in order to please everyone. This is why Lancôme Idôle Eau de Parfum was created! Not only does it have 100% natural ingredients but it also has an uplifting scent that will make any woman feel confident and sexy. With this perfume on your side, there are no more worries when it comes to what people might think about how you smell!

Gucci Mémoire d’Une Odeur Eau de Parfum

Famed for their iconic and luxurious designs, Gucci has been a staple in the fashion industry for over 100 years. The Mémoire d’Une Odeur Eau de Parfum is another amazing fragrance from the luxury brand. Green and earthy, it features notes of Roman chamomille, coral jasmine, and vanilla, which the brand describes as “universal” and “unassigned to a gender or a time.”

I love the way this perfume smells. It is not too strong and it doesn’t give me a headache or anything like that. I always get compliments when I wear it, which is nice because sometimes people tell me my perfume stinks and they don’t want to be around me. That’s just mean though! This Gucci Mémoire d’Une Odeur Eau de Parfum never does that!

Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum

A woman’s fragrance choice is a personal statement. It reflects her mood, lifestyle, and style. Yves Saint Laurent has been on the forefront of fashion for more than 60 years. Thought to be the first fragrance created by YSL, Libre is a feminine perfume that is floral with notes of fall-perfect florals like lavender essence, orange blossom, and musk accord. YSL is behind some of the most beloved and iconic fragrances in the game. So it’s really no surprise Libre is as lovely as it is. 

It’s described as an unapologetic perfume for liberated spirits who refuse to conform to society’s expectations of what it means to be feminine, powerful, or beautiful. Libre isn’t just about smelling good; it aims to make you feel like you’re wearing your truest self every day – because you are!

Henry Rose Smyth Eau de Rose

Henry Rose… Where to start? Founded by legend Michelle Pfeiffer (read the whole story here), this is the first line of the fragrance created with 100% ingredient transparency. Every perfume is safe and sustainable, and the bottles are even made from 90% recycled glass. Currently, there are seven different scents to choose from: Jake’s House, Torn (one of my favorites!), Fog, Dark Is Night, Queens & Monsters, and Last Light. These are all equally stunning in their own right.

For fall, however, I suggest shopping for its brand-new debut called Smyth. It’s a bright, sparkling scent of ripe and juicy notes like green apple, melon-pineapple sorbet, apricot nectar, star jasmine, white tea, sheer white woods, sandalwood, and complex layering of musks make it the perfect transition from summer to fall.

Tom Ford Métallique

Tom Ford Métallique is a gorgeous, feminine fragrance that has been described as smelling like “a woman in her prime.” It’s not too sweet and it doesn’t have any heavy floral notes. Creamy hints of luxe vanilla and sandalwood layer well with festive seasonal notes like balsam, heliotrope, and pink peppercorn. The result? A unique and highly mesmerizing scent. 

I love the way this perfume smells on my skin because it lasts for hours without being overpowering or tacky. The scent is just perfect for me! We all have different tastes in what we want to wear. But sometimes it’s nice to take risks and embrace new things which is just one reason why I am so excited about this product!

Skylar Willow Eau de Toilette

Skylar is a company that specializes in natural beauty products, and their latest creation has been receiving rave reviews. There are many who have said they love this new scent. Because it does not contain any harsh chemicals or synthetic ingredients. They also find it to be a refreshing change from what other companies offer. 

You can’t go wrong with any of the line’s perfumes (Arrow never fails to earn me compliments, and Salt Air was a fave for summer), but Willow is woodsy, lush, and reminiscent of the perfect brisk hike outdoors—aka the perfect addition to your fall scent wardrobe. 

Chanel Gabrielle Eau de Parfum

The Chanel Gabrielle Eau de Parfum is a sophisticated and elegant fragrance that will transform your day. Consider Gabrielle (which, ahem, Margot Robbie is the face of) your classic floral fragrance with kind of a fairytale twist. Famed perfumer Olivier Polge crafted this scent to represent an imaginary flower. It’s equal parts rich, green, and elegant thanks to strategic notes like jasmine, orange blossom, Grasse tuberose, and ylang-ylang.

It’s light, floral, and feminine. Perfect to wear during the day at work or out on the town with friends. The scent lasts all day without being too overbearing like some other perfumes can be. This perfume also comes in an adorable little bottle that will look great displayed anywhere you choose!

Ellis Brooklyn Myth Eau de Parfum

It may be cold outside, but at least you can stay warm with the Ellis Brooklyn Myth Eau de Parfum. This wintry fragrance is perfect for those looking to get away from their chilly Fall days. It’s a light and airy scent that will make you feel like summer never left us. 

Not only is the packaging glamourous in and of itself, but the fall-leaning perfume also features ylang-ylang, pink peppercorn, ginger, and vetiver for an ever so slightly spicy yet woodsy scent that’s airy, crispy, and green, just like the season. This eau de parfum will take you on a journey through the senses as it opens up your spirit to new things in life. Just like how butterflies symbolize rebirth, they also signify change! 

Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady Perfume

If you’re looking for a signature perfume that is sophisticated and timeless, then look no further than Frédéric Malle’s Portrait of a Lady. This perfume is best for those who want to smell more like themselves. And less like everyone else, as it has an earthy scent that lasts all day long. It’s not too strong or too light, and the warmth from the musk can be addicting. 

The French-born perfumer has a knack for creating luxurious scents that can be worn year-round, like its best-selling Portrait of a Lady Perfume. With hints of raspberry, rose, patchouli, and sandalwood, the fragrance is the perfect transitional scent.

Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum

In a world of synthetic scents, Le Labo Santal 33 is an oasis. A true, aromatic perfume with all natural ingredients. Traveling through this fragrance is like walking through the woods in the fall. Warm and comforting – each note adding to the beauty around you.

Not only is Le Labo’s Santal 33 Eau de Parfum the brand’s best-selling fragrance. But the mix of floral notes, spice, and musk make this a great year-round scent. Plus, who doesn’t love the smell of cedarwood? This perfume is described as “a sensual, modern ode to the scent of sandalwood”. And after doing some research on their website it seems like they pride themselves on creating quality products that are also environmentally friendly.

Jo Malone London Wild Bluebell Cologne

Jo Malone London is the world’s most celebrated, luxury brand of perfume. The line is known for its signature fragrances that are made with rare and precious ingredients like bergamot, lavender, and vanilla. These scents are often described as “luxurious”. Because they evoke memories of old-world elegance while also being modern in their own way.

Wild Bluebell Cologne by Jo Malone London has a fresh scent that is perfect for falltime! Not only is this scent worn by Meghan Markle herself, but its notes of crisp, green leaves and spicy clove buds make this a dewy scent that even a dutchess can’t deny. It’s also a great choice if you’re looking for something more subtle than their other fragrances.

Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum

A fragrance to be worn on a warm, sunny day. A fragrance that makes you feel cool and collected. And a fragrance that is inspired by the vast blue sky, grassy meadows and crisp white clouds. Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum is a woody floral blend of sensual flowers with an invigorating dose of ginger lily being the main notes in this signature scent for women from Christian Dior.

Is Dior’s Sauvage Eau de Parfum technically not a men’s fragrance? Yes. But the best scents don’t have to adhere to the binary. In fact, this scent’s Papua New Guinean vanilla base and citrus and woody formulation make it the perfect year-round scent for any season and anybody. 

Paco Rabanne Lady Million Eau de Parfum

Pumpkin spice lattes don’t have to be the only spicy scent in your fall arsenal—meet Paco Rabanne’s Lady Million Eau de Parfum. Formulated with hints of bitter orange, honey, and patchouli, this bold pairing creates a warm scent that will have you feeling rich all fall. 

This perfume is well-loved because of its sophisticated, feminine scent that offers an irresistible floral bouquet. And it can be used during any occasion whether you’re going on a night out with friends or just want to smell good at home! When you wear Paco Rabanne Lady Million, it will be like walking around with your most attractive and confident side always by your side. This is because this fall fragrance was made for women who know their worth. And don’t need to wait for someone else to tell them what they’re worth- they know they’re worth more than gold! 

Chris Collins Harlem Nights Eau de Parfum

It’s not every day that you find a fragrance like Chris Collins Harlem Nights Eau de Parfum. I’ve never smelled anything like it before and the blend of notes make for an intoxicating scent. With hints of rum, saffron, vanilla, and sandalwood, this scent is, in the brand’s words, “a symphony reminiscent of jazz and good times”.

One of my favorite things about this cologne is that it lasts for hours without being overpowering or too strong! This scent is described as a “modern masculine” that is perfect for all occasions. This is one of those perfumes you can wear to work or on a date night because it’s not too sexy but still gives off a romantic vibe.

Marc Jacobs Fragrances Perfect Intense Eau de Parfum

The world is a beautiful place, but sometimes we can’t see it as clearly as we would like. We need some help from the outside to really appreciate all that is around us. Marc Jacobs Fragrances has done just that with their new fragrance called Perfect Intense Eau de Parfum.

This perfume will freshen your senses and allow you to enjoy life’s little pleasures again! While floral scents typically connote spring, this fragrance’s unique formulation of jasmine, sandalwood. And almond makes it prime for a spot in your fall fragrance arsenal. Marc Jacobs Fragrances are known for their quality and luxury- look no further than Perfect Intense Eau de Parfum as proof!
