Top 10 Fall Fragrances 2015

Posted by Jessica on 18 September 2015 74 Comments

yellow leaf

It's mid-September, and I've been flipping through various beauty-and-fashion magazines to keep up with things. I've been particularly struck by all the "New Season, New Scent" headlines. I know, I know — this is how the fragrance business stays in existence, yet this autumn I'm craving comfort and familiarity far more than novelty.

Looking back five years (!), I'd still wear most of my picks from my Top Ten Fall Fragrances of 2010, but I've also made a few "new" favorites since then. Here are my very personal picks for the months ahead.

I'm looking forward to an off-season seashore getaway soon, and I'll be packing Diptyque Florabellio. It will be perfect for sipping a morning cup of coffee on the front porch of a bed-and-breakfast and then taking a breezy boardwalk stroll. 

I love violet fragrances all year 'round, but Atelier Cologne Sous le Toit de Paris feels especially fitting for transitional weather: it's a modern homage to classic violet perfumes, brightened with citrus and fennel. Another contemporary violet that I'm about to pull out is Balenciaga Paris. It always seems slightly humorless and overdressed to me if I sniff it in the spring or summer, and then fall rolls around and it's just right again.

How about some autumn-appropriate roses? Two that I'll be wearing this fall are Serge Lutens La Fille de Berlin, a sophisticated winey-spicy rose bouquet, and the haute-bohemian Byredo Rose Noir, a summer birthday gift that already feels like a signature scent to me.

I mentioned "comfort" above, and autumn really is the perfect time to bring out some cozy gourmands. I already own choices at various price points, from the salty vanilla-amber of Calvin Klein Reveal to the exotic confiserie of Jul et Mad Néa (just a decant of the latter, but a little goes a long way!).

This is also the time of year when I refresh my stash of affordable black wool cardigans, and I've found an olfactory equivalent for that wardrobe staple: Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black, which I received as a travel-sized roll-on from Sephora this summer and have been keeping in reserve for cooler weather. And, speaking of affordable little treats from the mall: The Body Shop Smoky Poppy is a baby cousin to Opium and Cinnabar, and you should grab some if you still can.

Lastly, there's no time like fall to revisit the classics. I may have overdosed a bit on Guerlain Shalimar in my past, but I've been reuniting with it lately and remembering why it still holds a special place in my heart. 

What are your fall favorites for 2015 — whether time-tested, new-to-you, or somewhere in-between?

And for more fall picks, check out Bois de Jasmin and The Non-Blonde.

    Great list! My staple this fall is going to be Alaïa Paris by Azzedine Alaïa, along with my old favourites Narciso by Narciso Rodriguez EdP and Chanel Sycomore.

        I adore it; it’s a very abstract floral fragrance to me, violet surrounded by musk and this weird airy vibe. Seems to be fairly divisive so far but I’m firmly in the ‘love’ camp.

    I have my favorites that I enjoy every year: Donna Karan Black Cashmere, the first Commes des Garcons, Mauboussin l’Histoire. The last few years have added Imaginary Authors Memoirs of a Trespasser and this year, Yesterday Haze. Oh, and Bottega Veneta, which is perfect for so many occasions. You’ve reminded me that I have a bottle of Reveal from a swap meet, I need to try it some more, and I still haven’t tried La Fille de Berlin. I have a decant of 5 O’clock Gingembre on the way from a generous perfume friend and I’m looking forward to it, too. This is my favorite time of year, I don’t want to miss a minute or a fragrance!

    J Crew/Arquiste No. 57 which I got this summer and am waiting for cooler weather to wear, same with EnVoyage Indigo Vanilla and of course, I love Safran Troublant. I am also more likely to wear Balmain Ivoire in cooler weather (version before the current one)

      Rena, both those J Crew/Arquiste fragrances are ideal for autumn wear. I actually had them on this list but then I had to “edit”! :)

    Yessss, finally violet season! I already know that I’m going to wear SO MUCH Chanel Misia. It’s also the right time of year for the Le Labo Gaiac 10 I’m still debating on. At least they’re offering travel sizes this year!

      Enjoy that Misia! I like wearing very sheer violets in summer, but I save the powdery or woody or iris-y ones for fall, definitely.

    Great list!
    I love roses too in the fall. I am getting a lot of wear from Rose Anonyme. I’ve not tried the Rose Noire yet, but I’ve seen it being compared to Perles de Lalique which is another favorite of mine.
    As always, Luten’s Chypre Rouge is one of my fall staple.
    I also love to wear Fille en Aiguilles and Bottega Veneta pour Homme Extreme because of the pine note: my cottage is in a pine forest and in the fall, when I’m back at work, I need that reminder of the summer that just went.
    For me, fall also brings back my leather scents: Coach Leatherware, Cabochard, Cuir de Russie, Dior Homme Parfum (just got it!!) Noble Leather (YSL) and Gold Leather!
    I love Fall!!

      I love your idea of wearing pine-needle scents to prolong your memories of your time at the summer cottage. That’s beautiful.

      Rose Anonyme is perfect for cooler weather!

    My favorite Fall scents:
    Shalimar Vanille flanker- vanilla heaven
    Samsara- sandalwood bliss
    La fille de Berlin- strong confident rose
    Coco Noir parfum- better then the EDP in my opinion and the body creme is just delicious!
    Happy Buddha shower foam from Rituals- perfect for foamy morning showers
    Journey Amouage – just beautiful

    Atelier Cologne Sous le Toit de Paris is a year round scent for me, but I can see what you mean about it really fitting in with the slightly cooler weather and fall smells..
    31 Rue Cambon, PHI Une Rose de Kandahar, Chergui and Abmbre Russe, Tea for Two and Cuir de Lancôme are some of my go-tos this fall.

    Smokey Poppy I must seek out too!

      I should have included Tea for Two! That’s a perfect pick.

      I’m so mad at myself for not noticing Smoky Poppy earlier — it was a limited edition, and I don’t pass The Body Shop very often.

    Our weather just turned cool(ish) last week, so I haven’t had much time to get into autumn scents. Just yesterday I wore SSS Tabac Aurea, which is a perennial cool-weather favorite. I’m sure I’ll get out my DK Black Cashmere, my Smell Bent One, and my vintage Arpege extrait (it never seems right to me in any other season, but it might be how my particular bottle has aged).

    My first Autumn pick is always Chanel’s beautiful and stunning Bois des Iles…aahh…when I give it the first spritz, I fall head over heals with it all over again :) It is one of those special ones, were I feel so cosy and comfortable, like I rarely does with perfumes over the Summer, as I am much more into scented body products-perfumes makes me sick doing very hot months (well, as hot as it gets here in Denmark..not what some of you Americans experience :)
    Chanel’s Coco (the beauty from 84!) in edt version, is one I like to wear once in a while doing the colder seasons as well :)

      Littlecooling, I agree — you can’t go wrong with Bois des Iles! So warm *and* sophisticated.

      I’m just not a hot-weather fan — so I always look forward to autumn, although I’ll miss the long daylight of spring and summer!

        I totally agree :) Seems like we have some things in common :) I like Spring/Summer..the daylight and long beautiful evenings, hot weather, no no :)
        Autumn is my fave season..I like the chill in the air, colors are different, knitted chunky sweaters, warm beverage and good books (all though, I read all year long) :)

    Then there’s Femme, Mitsouko, Jubilation 25, Jolie Madame…
    I have a couple of new samples that I’m saving for cool weather:
    Lubin Korrigan
    Amouage Fate Woman
    MFK Oud Cashmere Mood

    I’m looking forward to testing out a new favorite, Cuir de Lancome this fall.

    Odd that you would mention bith Opium and Cinnabar. I’m in the South of France (will be an expat by the end of the year) and there’s a little courtyard out in front of our condo complex. Grass, all kimds of shrubbery and a few trees. The other night, as I was walking by one of said bushes, I got a distinct waft of Opium. I simply thought maybe someone has just past and was wearing it. But no. Each night I pass by this darned bush, I smell it again. It’s never fragrant during the day, only the evening hours. It’s like someone tucked a perfumed hankie in the bushes!!! No botanist here but I wish I knew what kind of crazy bush this was!!!

    And I’ve added Arquiste Nanban, JM Mimosa & Cardamom, SL Boxeuses and Une Nuit a Bali Mr Vetiver this year.

      Do you feel that Sel de Vetiver works good in the fall? I’m finding it too light to wear in colder weather. I have to spray quite a bit in the summer too. That being said, it’s one of my favorite perfumes.

But so far I am really wanting to wear my Coco edt, Bottega Veneta, Cuir de Lancome, Kelly Caleche, Shiseido Zen (Classic), Aromatics Elixir, Memoir Woman….. I’m sure some others will sneak in. Ta’if…Nahema….L’Arte di Gucci…Magie Noire…Parfum Sacre…I can’t forget my roses!!!

    Now I’m intrigued by Smoky Poppy!

    Fall is my favorite season of all time and my favorite fall perfumes echo many of the other commenters’ lists. Others I like a lot that I have not seen mentioned (or missed because I read too quickly) include: Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay, Diptyque Volutes EDT and EDP and Eau Duelle EDT, VC&A Bois d’Iris, SL Iris Silver Mist, Atelier Cologne Silver Iris, L’AP Seville a l’Aube, Le Labo Iris 39 and Vanille 44, Hermes Ambre de Merveilles plus a lot of etc. etc.

    Ooh, thank you Jessica and the commentariat for so many good ideas! Have been in a rut, exciting to be reminded of what would be fun to wear right now.

    Committing this to list form so I don’t forget!
    Amouage Memoir
    SL Feminite de Bois
    SL Fleur d’oranger (I think it’s a perfect fall floral)
    SL Ambre Sultan
    Histoires de Parfum 1725
    Histoires de Parfum Petroleum (partly because I don’t have any SMN Nostalgia)
    Diptyque Essences Insensees Jasmin (snagged a sample but have yet to try it)
    Jolie Madame
    Kelly Caleche (EDP!)
    Idole (EDT ’til it runs out! tho I do like the EDP too, if differently)
    L’Air du désert marocain

    …ha, we’ll see whether I can make a dent in my list before it’s officially winter!

        Why thank you, on both counts! :)

        Isn’t it amazing how much good perfume there is out there? It’s so easy to get down about great things being d/c’ed or reformulated beyond recognition, and certainly there are tons of terrible new releases… but gosh there’s also still a lot of great stuff to wear! (In fact, I don’t own a full bottle of a single one of the frags on my list, but when there are that many fragrances to rotate through, samples/decants/minis will hold you for quite a long time!)

    I am hopeless against a blind buy when is comes to a NST recommendation plus a budget find at TJ Maxx. After reading Jessica’s list I went straight to TJ Maxx after work and picked up a 50mL bottle of CK Reveal that I spotted during the weekend.

    My fall list will include Balenciaga Paris, Bvlgari Black and Omnia, both Arquiste/jCrew #37 and 57, Bond Westside, Si Lolita Lempika and Burberry Brit Rhythm and Samsara.

      Hahh! I hope you’ll like Reveal! I find it so wearable and cozy for cooler weather. Not quite a modern, era-defining classic like Obsession, but still so nice to own.

      Oh, Bond West Side. I still own that. Must rotate it to the front of the “cabinet”!

    I really like reading your top 10 choices and fall is one of my favourite times of the year!

    I love Estee lauder private collection – amber ylang ylang
    In the colder months.. This is my go to scent

    Recently i bought Reminiscence – Tonka
    i sampled it when it was first released and the sweet, nutty honey-amber feel was delicious in the cold weather at the time. Its not as smooth as EL amber ylang ylang, but its fun for winter

    Also like Diptique – eau duelle
    And flowerbomb (viktor & rolf)

      Wow, that EL PC Amber Ylang is a good one. I wish I still had my bottle. I thought I was tired of it and I gave it to a friend…bad decision.

    Based upon your recommendation, I bought a bottle of Balenciaga Paris and absolutely love it. I will definitely explore more of the recommendations from this column and from the comments. Thank you!
