15 Boozy, Nutty and Warm Fragrances to Add to Your Fall Collection

Just as seasons change so does a fragrance lover’s scent wardrobe. 

Here, a guide to transitioning to autumnal fragrances — from the boozy to the ultra-gourmand and beyond — featuring 15 fragrance picks organized by intensity and, of course, how they cater to the fall vibes du jour. 

The Extraits

1. Ormaie Paris Yvonne Extrait, $340

With this scent, there’s no need to say “goodbye” to plum season — only “wear you later.” Featuring a 25 percent dose of perfume oil, this soft-on-the-outside, edgy-on-the-inside blend combines top notes of damascus plum and Turkish rose with a base of patchouli, musk and licorice. 

2. Trudon Midnight Omen Extrait, $340

Part of Trudon’s newest trio of extraits, Midnight Omen taps warm-spicy notes of iris, patchouli and leather at a 20 percent concentration. It’s bold, it’s rich and it’s perhaps the quintessential companion for a leather jacket and a crisp, fall night. 

The Perfume Oils

1. Cyklar Sacred Santal Perfume Oil, $24

With cardamom, ambrette, cashmere wood and vanilla, this layerable oil is “cozy” personified.

2. Better World Fragrance House Carby Musk Fragrance Oil, $195

With cuffing season officially underway, it’s only right to pair your Drake tunes with Drake perfume. Go on, apply Champagne Papi’s 12-musk blend, turn up “Fire & Desire” and mourn your summer situationship one last time. 

The Eaux de Parfum

1. Hermès Barénia Intense Eau de Parfum, $189

Perfumer Christine Nagel’s amped-up take on the original Barénia chypre doubles down on oakwood and leather accord for increased depth. 

2. Dries Van Noten Camomile Satin Eau de Parfum, $340

Make it tea season in every sense of the phrase with this chamomile, lavender and galbanum concoction. 

3. D’Annam Japanese Whiskey Eau de Parfum, $380 

With whiskey, malted barley and chestnut, this boozy-nutty blend all but screams peak autumn. 

4. Ellis Brooklyn Queens Caramel Eau de Parfum, $115 

It smells good enough to eat, but we’ll settle for a spritz of this caramel, maple sugar and white chocolate juice. 

5. DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Parfum, $58

Perfect for when the sun is still shining on apple-picking season as notes of green apple, magnolia and sandalwood come together in this classic. 

The Mists

1. Lush Pumpkin Spice Body Spray, $42

Unfortunately, you’re not making it through this fall fragrance guide without having to read the words “pumpkin spice.” Lush’s take on the famed combo is worth it, though, combining ginger, sweet carob and, of course, pumpkin for a hearty — dare we say, witchy — blend. 

2. Phlur Vanilla Smoke Hair & Body Body Mist, $38

For the vanilla diehards who need to bring some take on the note into each season of life, do we know just the brand for you. On the heels of Phlur’s Vanilla Skin and Vanilla Nectar, the brand has introduced Vanilla Smoke, an amber, incense and cacao-infused scent that isn’t too spicy or too sweet, but just right. 

3. Boy Smells Cream Dream Body Mist, $38

This warm blend taps vanilla and buttercream for a sweet scent that evokes the nostalgic aroma of a 2000s-era back-to-school mall crawl spent spritzing each fragrance tester in sight. We’ve all been there. And sometimes, you want to go back. 

4. By/Rosie Jane White Tee Body + Hair Perfume Mist, $32

Like the wardrobe staple it’s named after, this mist offers precisely the versatility that a seasonal fragrance wardrobe transition calls for. With notes of lily water, rose and cotton blossom, each spritz is like a breath of fresh, fall air. 

5. Saltair Golden Hour Body Mist, $17

With notes of sunflower, pineapple and coconut, this fragrance is for when you’re on island time — even if the island in question is, say, Manhattan. 

6. Josie Maran Topless Tangerine Fragrance Mist, $26

Sometimes, you need to bring your citrusy scents into fall and that’s OK. This tangerine, grapefruit and brown sugar blend happens to be loaded with argan and jojoba oils, offering not only a juicy spritz but a hydrating one, too.
