Beauty editors' fortune-telling abilities are strong when it comes to what fragrances we think will be everywhere for the season. This time around, we, once again, have a lot to say about the fragrance world's latest releases, and it would be criminal not to share. Whether you're in the market for a new signature scent or you just want to try something new for fall, you're going to want to keep reading. The below fragrances are ones theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing beauty team hasn't been able to shut up about. Just take a peek at our Slack conversations—we have lots of thoughts!
Key notes: glowing leather accord, Ambrofix, vanilla tincture
With an almost perfect five-star rating on Sephora, you knowBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing senior beauty editor Jamie Schneider isn't the only one who can't get enough of this new scent from Tom Ford. If you like smoky, sweet scents that remind you of the desert, this one is definitely for you. The vanilla note really adds an extra dose of the unexpected to an otherwise woody-leaning scent.
Key notes: black cherry, almond cream, bourbon vanilla
Did anyone else spend all their money on Victoria's Secret body sprays back in the day? This reminds me of that era and is just a really good gourmand. I always hesitate when it comes to body mists because I thought a lot of them didn't last as long, but this one has some serious staying power and just smells so sweet and heavenly. Schneider, myself, andBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing Beauty Director Erin Jahns all named this one as a shoo-in fall favorite.
Key notes: orange blossom, lavender, ylang-ylang, vanilla, amber, wood accord
From the makers of the legendary Baccarat Rouge 540 comes this new offering APOM. This one is more of a floral-amber combination with pretty opening notes like orange blossom and lavender. It would definitely be something warm and inviting to wear during the spring, but honestly, I'd also wear it year-round.
Key notes: candied apple, toasted vanilla bean, freesia, cedarwood
I haven't gotten my hands on this one just yet, but Schneider says this is the perfect cozy fall scent with notes of candied apple, toasted vanilla bean, and cedarwood.
Key notes: mandarin, bergamot, pear, violet petal, lavandin, floral bouquet, sandalwood, patchouli, musk, vanilla
It's hard to imagine another Parfums de Marly fragrance eclipsing my all-time favorite—Delina Exclusif Eau de Parfum ($240)—but this one comes pretty damn close. It's sweet and musky and reminds me of another one of my favorite fragrances, Viktor&Rolf's Good Fortune ($145). I've been loving it for chilly fall nights.
Key notes: pear, cedar, caramel
This fruity, floral fragrance has captured our hearts. Aura is the perfect name for a fragrance like this—it's sweet and juicy and is even a bit sparkly. It makes you feel so radiant and is the perfect "California beach day" scent in my humble opinion.
Key notes: raspberry, bergamot, violet, cocoa butter, leather accord, Virginia cedarwood
It's probably obvious at this point, but I tend to love fruity, floral, and gourmand scents. This new Lancôme offering is all of the above, and it was love at first spritz. Immediately, the note of raspberry hooked me, but I also love the undercurrents of leather, cocoa butter, and cedarwood. It adds such a rich and unique quality to the fragrance that elevates it far past your average gourmand. I wear it almost every time I leave my house these days.
Key notes: cardamom, rose petals, sandalwood, cedarwood, carrot seeds, papyrus, vetiver, silk musks
Byredo fragrances just scream fall to me. I have a roster of scents from the brand that I often whip out for the season, including Gypsy Water, Mojave Ghost, and Bal D'Afrique, but Jahns also said that I need to add Desert Dawn to the lineup. The notes of sandalwood, rose petals, and papyrus are already speaking to me—I can't wait to give this one a sniff.
Key notes: truffle, pear, oudh, amber, elemi, violet, mimosa, Loewe accord
According to Jahns, this new perfume from Loewe is chic AF. With notes of truffle, pear, oudh, and violet, it's a scent worthy of your fall collection.
Key notes: pimiento, patchouli, red pepper berries, vetiver, incense, amber woods, Loewe accord
7 has heady notes of patchouli, incense, and red pepper berries. It's got a bit of spice to it as well as a sweeter note of rockrose wildflower.
Key notes: bergamot, caramel cream, sandalwood
Who What Wear associate beauty editor Kaitlyn McLintock and I are fully obsessed with Caramel Skin from Phlur. It's just another damn good gourmand that's sweet but features earthy sandalwood to give it a bit more balance.
Key notes: coconut, frangipani, salted amber
I know I say this a lot, but this perfume is actually a vacation bottled. If you love coconut perfumes, this one is easily a top pick. It has such a breezy opening, but the base note of salted amber gives it way more of an elevated feel.
