The Best New Fragrances for Fall

From juicy apples to roaring fires, these perfumes evoke everything we love about autumn

Fall is in the air! As beach days give way to leaf-peeping and piña coladas to PSLs, we're swapping our perfumes, too. Check out seven of our favorite scents for the season, which spotlight vanilla, woody notes and bold florals that are ripe for the cooler weather ahead.

When one of New York City’s most iconic labels interprets the universal feeling of love, the result is this crisp fruity-floral that’s grounded by cedarwood and encased in, what else? A big apple red bottle.

Reminds Us Of...a Farmer's Market

In creating this new scent, the Jo Malone Global Head of Fragrance was inspired in part by the John Keats poem "To Autumn," which reflects on when the calendar turns from late summer to fall. It also marks the start of pear season — the star ingredient in this fragrance.

Reminds Us Of...Cashmere

Burberry Goddess Eau de Parfum.

Buy It! Burberry Goddess Eau de Parfum, $100 (for 1 oz) - $68 (3.4 oz); sephora.com

Vanilla is the cashmere of the fragrance world: warm, comforting and universally loved. And it doesn’t get more snuggly than this aroma which wraps you up in three different iterations of the delicious note.

Reminds Us Of...Date Night

PSW FALL FRAGRANCES- DIOR PSW FALL FRAGRANCES- DIOR
Dior L’or de J’adore Essence de Parfum.

Buy It! Dior L’or de J’adore Essence de Parfum, $170 (1.7 oz); ulta.com

To be clear: this is not a woody scent. It’s a floral that’s as sensual and warm (with orange blossom, jasmine and rose absolute) as they get. So warm, in fact, that for the latest iteration of the iconic J’adore bottle the gold bracelets have melted into a flowing metal.
