With days getting shorter, leaves falling and the air becoming crisp as we transition to autumn, it’s also time to transition our scent preferences. As beautiful as a soft floral can be in spring and summer, the impact of the scent is less worldly when it comes to autumn. Instead, true fashionistas have learned to embrace warmer notes in their perfumes to evoke a sense of comfort and coziness when it comes to the colder seasons.
While finding the perfect perfume each season can feel a bit like an art form, the right scent will uplift your mood and become one with the memories you make this season. If get overwhelmed by the perfume aisle in beauty stores, Fashion Reverie has prepared a sensory feast for you. Below are some of Fashion Reverie’s favorite fall fragrances. Some are earthy and light, others spicy and sweet, but whatever tickles your fancy (or should we say nose?) will certainly remind you of fall.
Chris Collins Discovery Set $50
For those of you a bit unsure about your signature scent for fall, the Chris Collins Discovery set is a great collection to grab. Built around eight of their bestselling fragrances, the mini bottles allow you to find the best scent for you. From the spicy multidimensional scent of African Roobis to the light, airy scent of Citrus Grandis you might walk away from this set with more than one favorite.
Replica Autumn Vibes by Maison Margiela $85
If you are in the market for a more woody and mysterious fragrance Autumn Vibes from Maison Margiela’s Replica scent collection is a great choice. With notes of berries, cardamom, and moss the fall perfume perfectly encapsulates the feeling of walking through the woods as the autumnal light cascades onto you.
House of Bo Bombon Parfum $365
If you’re desperate for a rich, luxurious, and fiery scent to bring you into the fall, then this is the one you should purchase. Described by the perfumiar as ‘hedonistic,’ and ‘self-indulgent,’ the notes of cognac make sense and acknowledge the rich flavor of the fall season.
Nest Vanilla Bourbon Perfume $92
An easy scent to gravitate to when it comes to the colder seasons, Fashion Reverie discovered it’s the mixture of vanilla, bourbon, jasmine, and brown sugar that creates this timeless and clean scent. With the jasmine notes balancing the darker, spicier scents in this perfume, it becomes almost seasonless. Perhaps it will be your next year-round scent?
Outremer Vanille $24
When it comes to seasonal scents, don’t get too stressed about prices. Outremer’s Vanille scent is the perfect affordable option. Scented like a rich, spiced vanilla and light as air when sprayed onto your skin, this perfume is an excellent option when dabbling in finding a signature fall scent.
Angeli di Firenze $100
This eau de cologne is a symphony of different scents. Created in tribute by the Italian brand Santa Maria Novella for the Mud Angels who escaped to Florence after the 1966 flood, this scent is filled with symbolism. Heavy with autumnal Italian scents, there’s a layer of citrus, vanilla, musk and black current that lends to a sophisticated fall scent.

The 7 Virtues Cherry Ambition $94
Cherry blossom fragrances are most often associated with springtime, but when this scent from 7 Virtues is paired with sandalwood, amber, and cognac, you’ll receive an overpowering scent designed to ignite a feeling of romance and bravery. Different from other perfume companies, the 7 Virtures also upholds their beliefs by donating part of the proceeds to menstrual equity in Noth America.
