Eleventh Hour is one of my personal favorites to wear as soon as the fall season starts. Its combination of warm notes like bergamot, rum, and cashmere woods are as inviting as they are cozy, without being too overpowering. And if you’re into scent layering, the fragrance pairs nicely with just about any vanilla perfume.
We’re longtime fans of Fenty eau de parfum. If you can get a hold of this spicy, magnolia-forward fragrance this fall, it’s worth celebrating (since it’s known to sell out quickly). The scent is also available as a body cream which is ideal for long-lasting fragrance layering.
The name says it all: With notes of red berries, cardamom, cedarwood, and moss, Maison Margiela Replica’s Autumn Vibes eau de toilette channels a stroll through a fancy park on a brisk fall day. Just add a pumpkin spice anything.
“If you’re vanilla-obsessed, this is the fragrance for you,” Bazaar beauty director Jenna Rosenstein muses about Burberry’s coveted Goddess eau de parfum. “A warm and sweet gourmand, the three notes of vanilla—vanilla infusion, vanilla caviar, and vanilla absolute—make this the ideal fall and winter scent on its own, or the perfect cozy base for layering other scents on top.”
Few things signify fall better than denim jackets or a full-on Canadian Tuxedo—which is exactly what this fragrance with notes of coriander, orange flower, patchouli, and tonka bean is inspired by. Crafted from a vegan formula and in small batches, this extrait de parfum (fragrance in its most concentrated form) is made to last.
“Bee Shapiro, founder of Ellis Brooklyn, can do no wrong in my book when it comes to creating beautiful scents. While the name of this fragrance brings ideas of sweet, juvenile notes, it actually wears incredibly sexy and crisp,” associate beauty editor Katie Intner writes of the brand’s 2023 Bazaar Fragrance Award–winning scent.
Featuring notes of vetiver, patchouli, and musk, this unique fragrance blend from Fischersund was developed by hand in Iceland. It also comes nicely wrapped in a bandana inspired by the scent and designed by one of the brand’s co-founders.
