If you’re like us, you rotate fragrances with the changing weather. With fall around the corner, we’re veering toward scents that complement the crisp air, cozy wardrobe and bevy of Instagram-worthy outdoor activities ahead.
We’re already wrapped up in the latest offerings from Chanel, Fendi and Phlur, and more, like a warm blanket. With notes of vanilla, violet, leather and hedy woods, these aromas are the best accessory for cooler months.
Noyz Love Club
Noyz is shaking up the fragrance space with its debut collection of four genderless scents meant to be switched up or layered on to suit your ever-changing mood. Each aroma boasts seldom-used notes — think, clary sage in Sh*tty Day (which, despite its name is rather refreshing), rhubarb in Lost+Found and saffron in the hypnotic Love Club (shown) — that lend to each’s unique vibe.

Phlur Vanilla Skin
Vanilla-spiked fragrances will be in abundance this fall, but none are more mouthwatering than Phlur’s new version. This delectable blend of isn’t one-note: as the name would suggest, it’s sweet and sexy with a pinch of pink pepper and jasmine lending a hint of spice, and a trio of sensual woods adding a cozy feel that grounds the gourmand scent.

Chanel Gabrielle L’Eau
As one might expect from a fragrance named after the label’s creator, Gabrielle Chanel, every detail of Gabrielle L’Eau was poured over. Ever-special Grasse tuberose, from Chanel’s fields in the south of France, has been reimagined in this floral which is rounded out with jasmine, ylang-ylang, orange blossom and berries to create its captivating scent.

27 87 Perfumes Per Sē
27 87 Perfumes, which was founded in Barcelona in 2016, is known overseas for its ambitious aromas. Now the Barcelona-based brand’s bestsellers are available in the U.S., including Per Sē, which lives up to its name (the Latin term for “by itself”) with a sensorial experience unlike any other thanks to its seemingly mutable notes, among them, violet, bamboo and musk.

Fendi La Baguette
Fendi’s Baguette has had a permanent spot in the style lexicon ever since creator Silvia Venturini Fendi introduced the now-iconic rectangular purse in 1997. This new scent (one of seven fragrances the label has created) captures the iconic bag’s buttery suede (and plays off one of its inspirations: delicious baguettes) with notes of French iris, Madagascar vanilla and, yes, velvety leather.

Acqua di Parma Luce di Rosa
Spring is usually when groundbreaking floral scents emerge, but in fall Acqua di Parma is breaking the mold with its latest all-gender fragrance. Fresh yet sensual, Luce di Rosa opens with citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin, while at its heart, rose from Bulgaria and geranium are spiked with black and pink pepper, and cedarwood and musk add a warm base.
