Fall is here and while I love all seasons of scent, fall is especially a shining moment for fragrance. Here are some fragrances I’m looking forward to wearing this fall.
Delphinus by Creed
There are certain facts of life when it comes to fragrances. One such fact is when Creed releases a new fragrance, everyone pays attention. One of two new releases, Delphinus shines as an addictively intoxicating blend of smokey amber with buttery orris and hints of vanilla sweetness in the background. Sparkling with black and pink pepper, patchouli, and honeyed tonka beans, this is a gem that could easily be a signature scent for the fall.
Signature AURUM by Zaharoff
One of my favorite honey fragrances of all time, Zaharoff’s Signature AURUM will shine in the fall. The honey is deep, it’s dark, and sweet, without being too sweet. Very realistic to the real thing. While the honey is the star of this scent from opening to dry down, it’s in the dry down that the complexities begin to reveal itself and the subtle flaky nuances of baklava — the inspiration behind this gem — begin to unfold.
L’Eau de Parfum by Cirque du Soleil
This fall, Cirque du Soleil once again will awe and inspire you, but this time it’s not with acrobats, but rather with their incredible debut scent! Salted popcorn with sweet caramel apple and cotton candy, this is an absolute wonder of a fragrance. Circus vibes abound. For Cirque du Soleil to launch with this fragrance, we can only hope they release more awe inspiring scents in the future.
A Whiff of Waffle Cone by Imaginary Authors
Gourmand lovers, rejoice! The 2nd edition of Imaginary Author’s A Whiff of Waffle Cone was love at first spray and has quickly risen to the top of my favorite fragrances from the house. This smells like vanilla ice cream soaked in maple syrup, with cinnamon poured over it, all served atop a waffle. If you love sweet scents, this is a dream.

Basic Witch by Xyrena
With a punch of pumpkin spice and everything nice, Basic Witch is magic to your fall fragrance nose. The punch of pumpkin spice latte at the top kicks right through to the dry down. Yes, this punch can kick. That’s how I know it’s good. On my skin, after the initial blast of pumpkin spice, it turns into a clean soapy scent, but as I mentioned the pumpkin spice is there all the way through to the dry down. This is exactly the pumpkin spice goodness I dream of for fall.
HWY 190 Extrait de Parfum by Fulton & Roark
Textured woods remind me of being surrounded by crunchy fall leaves. It’s depth defying and resinous in all the best ways. Vanilla bean seductively permeates in the background making for a charmingly sophisticated scent.
