Fall fragrances and fall style is top of mind right now and in an effort to totally rediscover my own style, I wanted to share some fall fragrances that I think will help you create beautiful memories this season.

Most if not all of these are unisex options so let’s get into your guide to fall fragrances.

Fall Fragrances

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt

I can be honest and admit, Jo Malone has not been on my radar at all, but a month ago I had the chance to try a few samples of their fragrances and I was pleasantly surprised. Wood Sage and Sea Salt is a woody but surprisingly soft fragrance. It reminds me so much of being from Los Angeles; that beachy fresh air with the hint of saltiness is such a great fragrance especially to send summer away and usher in fall fragrances.

If you don’t live close to the beach or even if you do, this is a great fragrance to emphasize that beachy feeling.

Jo Malone Hinoki & Cedarwood

Another banger from Jo Malone that caught me by surprise; Hinoki and cedarwood is soft but earthy; has notes of cinnamon, cedarwood, tonka beans and Hinoki wood clove which come through at their own point in time. The earthy cinnamon smell came through right away for me and made me instantly love the fragrance. It has this softness to it that reminds me a bit of the soft clean scent I get from Blanche by Byredo. Hinoki & Cedarwood is a must add when it comes to your fall fragrances. I can’t stop thinking about it.

Phlur Vanilla Skin

I smelled this on a stop into Sephora after seeing so many people talk about it online. This did not disappoint. A gourmand, full bodied vanilla, that is simply delicious in all the right ways. The blend of notes is extremely well done and a must have vanilla for fall of course, but really for all year round.

Blanche

A fresh clean girl scent, Byredo describes Blanche as a take on the color white and something about that makes so much sense. One thing I love about Blanche is it’s perfect for being around a family. I think we consider a variety of things when it comes to fragrance, but we don’t think about family. Blanche is fresh and simple; it’s of a floral nature and is overall just a really pretty inviting fragrance.

I don’t wear a ton of fragrances at the moment since my daughter is still young, but if I had to choose from this list of fall fragrances, I would choose this as something not too overwhelming around littles.

Mojave Ghost

For the not so spicy scent wearers, the first Byredo fragrance I bought and found perfect for year round wear is Mojave Ghost.

It’s the playful powdery scent that packs just enough punch for it to be unforgettable without being over the top.

It has top notes of Ambrette and Nesberry, middle notes of magnolia, sandalwood and violet and bottom notes of cedarwood, musks and vetiver. Anyone noticing a pattern of notes in the fragrances chosen thus far? It’s described as an ode to the soulful Mojave Desert and there is something about it that absolutely feels soulful but still feminine which is what makes it a perfect addition to your fall fragrances.

Young Rose

Young Rose, also by Byredo, is my latest pick up. I was looking for something other than the most popular fragrances, something that felt like a Mojave Ghost type of scent but also stood on its own.

It has top notes of Ambrette seeds and Sichuan pepper, middle notes of Orris and Damascena rose oil, and bottom notes of musks.

I love the bite of the Sichuan pepper it really stands out to me and makes this fragrance not just another rose scent. This, like most Byredo fragrances, mixes well with SO MANY fragrances and that is why I really think it’s perfect for the fall.

By the Fireplace Maison Margiela

Is it even a complete collection if you don’t have fall fragrances that smell like the fireplace, firewood or cozy vibes during the holiday?

I bought By the Fireplace around the same time I got Mojave Ghost which was fall 2021 and it’s been a go to ever since.

It has top smoky notes of Gaiac wood, cashmeran, and clove oil, mid notes of roasted chestnuts and red berries oil and sensual yet sweet notes of vanilla to soften it up.

The smell is distinct, but well executed and not a lot of brands have perfected that firewood smell like Margiela. If you’re not a fan of wearing it during the day, it’s a perfect bedtime fragrance.

Bond No 9 Greenwich Village

Bond No 9 is truly one of a kind. Every single one of their fragrances is so unique, so memorable, so intricate in scent and off top this makes them worth the splurge.

Greenwich village has notes of Lychee, mandarin, peony, water lily, jasmine petals, peach musk, vanilla and oak moss to name a few. All of these notes that blend into the perfect scent that is Greenwich village makes this a perfect addition to your fall fragrances already in rotation.

Bond No 9 Nomad

Nomad is described as a *“sensual, statement-making oud, with modern fruity notes”* and it does not disappoint. I guess my fall fragrances all tend to be noted as sensual, but it’s because I love this time of year, it feels like it’s supposed to be cozy and cuddly and I love it.

It has notes of pear, quince, black currant, violet leaves, oud accord, rose, amber and vanilla.

Bond No 9 New York Nights

New York Nights has a special place in my heart. It is a core memory fragrance, the first Bond fragrance I smelled and it is absolutely edgy and romantic to me. A great unisex option. I received it early on in my creator journey while at an event at Bloomingdales and it’s been a fragrance that I have never forgotten. It’s great all year ‘round, but it’s spectacular in the fall and winter.

It has notes of Jasmine (flips hair), gardenia, carnation, patchiouli, sandalwood, marine accord, coffee and caramel.

Bond No 9 Scent of Peace

Scent of Peace, is a fragrance that is less sensual, but still had a woody note that makes it perfect for fall. I wasn’t really a fan of this at first wear, but it has since grown on me. It’s definitely more of a lighter fall option compared to others on this list and it’s described as a “sparkling fresh scent”.

It has notes of grapefruit, black currant, lily of the valley, cedarwood and musk.

There was a time when I stopped making fragrances a priority in my life, but there is something about having a signature scent, having a go to scent during certain seasons and really embracing what that is for you. As a mom now, I think of my own mom and her variety of fragrances, I used to be able to smell her when she would come pick me up from school.

No matter if you’re a seasoned perfume girlie or just starting out, now is the perfect time to find your ideal fragrance for fall.
