Nothing in beauty is more personal than the way we smell. From notes smelling different depending on the wearer’s body chemistry, to accords evoking memories embedded deep in our subconscious, our fragrance wardrobe says more about us than we may think. But, no matter how personal, as one season transitions into another, autumnal accords are back on top this fall. 

Here, 6 ESSENCE editors invite you into their fall fragrance wardrobes for scents you’ll want to wear again and again.

My signature fall scent is simple: clean, freshly laundered, and subtle. I like my fragrances to be understated, but still picked up on by the most observant noses. I have a full fragrance collection, but the ones I keep close are the dry cleaning blend of Courreges C and warm amber of Noyz Loose Ends. I’m also a huge fan of Byredo: Blanche Absolou De Parfum, which is one of the creamiest, sophisticated profiles I’ve ever smelt is joining Bal D’Afrique and Future Memories in my fall rotation.

I’m currently obsessed with cherry scents as well as gourmands. Yves Saint Laurent’s Black Opium Pink Glaze is the scent of my dreams. Very sensual, yet sweet. I also love Phlur’s recent Vanilla Canyon release. I often pair those two together. Funmi Monet’s Influxious is awesome (Magic Hour is my favorite.) But, when it comes to my favorite scent to wear, it’s always going to be something fresh. I can’t go wrong with Chanel N°5 L’Eau. It’s a standout in the spring and summer months, but I dig it all-year-round.

Lately, I’ve been loving Miu Miu’s new Miutine Intense! It feels so girly and fresh! For a more night time vibe, I’ve been leaning towards Tom Ford’s Black Orchid Reserve. It’s sexy and mysterious. Otherwise, I recently discovered Biology, which is a clean and natural fragrance brand. I have very sensitive skin and sometimes synthetic fragrances can cause me to breakout. That said, I’ve really been enjoying Biology’s DEEP scent which is a blend of cinnamon, tonka bean, geranium, and cedarwood. It’s very grounding, and, in my opinion, perfect for the fall season!

I always default to JO Malone’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt around this time of year because I love the woody smell. It’s not so heavy that it feels masculine; it’s just the right balance. Sometimes to add a little sweetness I’ll layer with Zara’s Vanilla After Dark. Also, Kayali Maldives In A Bottle was a recent addition that changed my life; It smells so good. And, when I just want to smell clean, Glossier You is the perfect clean, fresh scent.

I love Le Labo’s Osmanthus 19 and Glossier You Doux! Enough said.

My go-to scent right now is anchored with Rare Beauty’s Find Comfort Body & Hair Mist layered with House of Bō Bombon perfume. Together it’s a sweet slightly sexy scent that softly lingers in every room. I love cozy notes of wood like white birch and pine during the fall. It just feels like a warm in fragrance form.
