Fall Perfumes You Need To Add To Your Collection

With fall quickly approaching, it’s that time to switch up your perfumes again! In case you didn’t know, every scent can be associated with a different season based on the notes. For instance, floral notes are often associated with spring, while woody notes often go hand in hand with fall.

Whether you know it or not, you may be wearing summer perfume in the winter and vice versa. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with doing this, but switching up your signature scent for the seasons gives you the perfect excuse to try out something new and match the season you’re in! 

So if you want to try something new or just emulate the changing seasons, here are 10 fall perfumes you should definitely consider adding to your collection!

Whispers in the Library//Maison Margiela

The Replica collection from Maison Margiela is a crowd favorite for multiple reasons, but mostly because the collection actually replicates the comforting smells that we all know and love for every season. 

This fall, the Replica collection has released Whispers in the Library which is reminiscent of a cozy reading nook on a cold, rainy day. The fragrance description on the bottle even says that the inspiration behind the scent was Oxford in 1997, and the paper and waxed wood inside the library. 

Notes: vanilla, pepper, cedar, precious woods

Black Opium//Yves Saint Laurent

Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent is a classic that should be apart of everyone’s collection! Not only is this perfume perfect for the autumn months, but it also is a great scent to transition you from fall to winter! 

The perfume itself has a gorgeous gourmand scent to it with notes of vanilla and coffee but also has woody and floral notes that compliment it beautifully. It’s not surprising that there is a full collection of Opium perfumes that include Black Opium Nuit Blanche, Black Opium Intense, and Opium. But if we had to pick just one, it would have to be Black Opium. 

Notes: coffee, jasmine, vanilla, patchouli, and cedar

North Bondi//Ouai

While North Bondy by Ouai might not sound very autumn at first glance, there is an undeniable warmth to the perfume that is perfect for the transition from summer to fall! 

For anyone who’s ever tried Ouai, you know that all of the hair products they carry smell incredible. So it would only make sense that the brand release perfumes that smell just like their products! If you’ve ever tried Ouai’s Wave Spray, conditioners, Volume Spray, or Leave-In Conditioner and wanted to wear the scent of those products, now you can! North Bondi took the smell of fresh florals and bottled it up into a perfume!

Although the perfume is primarily florals, there are undertones of bergamot and musk that give the scent an undeniable warmth that you will obsess over as the months grow colder! 

Notes: bergamot, apple blossom, rose, jasmine, and white musk

Get the scent:

Pillowtalk Poet//Pinrose

Pinrose is one of those perfume brands that often gets overshadowed by the more prominent, luxury brands. However, Pinrose has some incredible scents at a fantastic price point that will make you want to purchase the whole collection!

Pillowtalk Poet by Pinrose is the perfect scent for the colder months as. It combines warm florals with notes of musk and clove, which are two notes that are a must in any fall scent! Pillowtalk Poet is a very comforting smell that will make you feel warm and cozy even on the coldest of days!  

Notes: geranium, powdery notes, cloves, musk, and sandalwood

Sueded Oud//Clean Reserve

Often times we aren’t really aware of what ingredients are in our perfumes. It’s important we know so we can avoid allergic reactions or toxic additives! With Clean Reserve, you don’t have to worry about any harmful ingredients or additives! Which only makes this fall perfume even more enticing! 

Sueded Oud is the definition of a fall perfume with every small you associate with fall in the notes list. This perfume is very unique, and the more you wear it, the more you fall in love with it. Sueded Oud is labeled as a warm and spicy scent making it an ideal add-on to your fall collection!

Notes: incense, cypress, agarwood (oud), night-blooming jasmine, amber, and musk 

Get the scent:

Wild Vanilla Orchid//Floral Street

If you’re from the US like me, you probably haven’t heard of Floral Street as it is newer to the states. However, once you smell the Floral Street collection, you’ll never want to buy another brand!

If you’re a die-hard floral lover, this might just be the brand for you! Floral Street employs gorgeous floral scents (duh) but also combines the florals with complimenting notes that make florals wearable all year round and not just for the spring! 

This fall, consider adding Wild Vanilla Orchid to your fall collection and be complimented all season long! Along with the more floral notes such as jasmine and vanilla orchid, the perfume also adds notes of sandalwood and cassis giving it a woody undertone perfect for fall!

Notes: citrus, vanilla, jasmine, and sandalwood

Greylocke//Phlur

If you haven’t heard of or tried Phlur, what are you doing? But in all seriousness, this is a phenomenal brand that needs to be talked about more! Just like Clean Reserve, Phlur is a 100% clean brand that uses safe ingredients that are not harmful to us or the environment. You would be shocked to know what is actually in your perfumes, but with Phlur, you don’t have to worry. 

What I love about Phlur (besides their honesty) are the incredible scents that they have. Many perfumes will call themselves one thing like “Jasmine” then have 10 other notes along with that making the smell you thought you were getting unrecognizable. With Phlur, they keep their notes to a minimum, so you are getting what you think you are. 

This fall, give Phlur a try with their scent Greylocke. Greylocke was inspired by nature and New England heritage. If you’ve ever been to New England in the fall, you’ll know it’s one of the most gorgeous places to be in the autumn months. This scent is unisex meaning it’s great for men and women alike. For me, this scent is extremely comforting and makes me feel warm and cozy!

But don’t just take my word for it, try it yourself! On Phlur’s website, you can try out 3 samples for only $18, so you don’t have to commit to a whole bottle before trying it! The three samples should last you about 30 days, and once you’ve picked your favorite, you can apply that $18 to a bottle of your favorite scent!

Kayali Vanilla|28//Huda Beauty

Huda has expanded her brand from just makeup to perfume, we’re so thankful she did! Huda has now created a perfume brand named Kayali translated to “my imagination” in Arabic. This line is inspired by Huda’s Middle Eastern heritage with a range of crazy pleasant scents! 

This fall, try out Kayali’s Vanilla|28 and never go back! In case you were curious, the number 28 comes from the number of formulation rounds it took to get this scent right. So you know Huda put a lot of time and effort into getting the perfect perfume. 

Vanilla|28 is the perfect blend of sweet, warm, and spicy with notes of jasmine, Madagascan vanilla orchid, and amber. This is the ideal fall perfume for someone who loves a gourmand perfume with a spicy twist and honestly, who doesn’t? And the bottle is gorgeous, how could you say no?

Notes: jasmine, Madagascan vanilla orchid, musk, amber, and brown sugar

Midnight Fleur//Nest

Everyone is familiar with Nest from their candles, but did you know they also carry perfume? And incredible fragrances at that! Whether you’re a die-hard candle lover or just love a quality perfume, Nest is the brand for you! 

Nest has a vast collection of perfumes but this fall, give Midnight Fleur a try, and you can thank me later. Midnight Fleur was inspired by Mrs. Mary Delany, a British artist who is responsible for some gorgeous botanical art pieces. Midnight Fleur can capture Mrs. Mary Delany’s work by making the perfect fall scent. It features notes of vanilla orchid and amber making it the ideal addition to any fall perfume collection! 

Notes: vanilla orchid, jasmine, patchouli, and amber

Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere//Philosophy

The original Fresh Cream by Philosophy is the only perfume I have ever gone through an entire bottle of which is saying something for me. I am a huge perfume hoarder, so to go through a whole bottle and then to buy another one means that this perfume is one to obsess over. 

So when they released Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere, you best believe I purchased it! Unlike the OG Fresh Cream, the Warm Cashmere edition has more woody notes making this the perfect fall perfume. This perfume definitely falls under the gourmand category, but there is something about it that goes beyond vanilla and into a cozy fall day where you just want to stay in bed! Trust me, this might just be the first perfume you buy two bottles of!

Notes: vanilla, coconut, cashmere wood, sandalwood, and musk
