is almost here and you know what that means. It’s high time you select your signature fall perfume. We admit that as soon as we feel the slightest chill in the air, we head straight for scents loaded with sandalwood, bergamot and amber. We crave noticeable fragrances that have staying power. Don’t you?
But this season, brands are debuting fall perfumes laced with florals that pair well with unexpected, spicy notes. And if you’re still into wearing fruity, floral scents when the weather is chilly, you’re in luck. A few fragrances have an autumn twist on their flowery notes.
Take a look at the best fall perfumes and kick off your season with fragrances that are so fall, it hurts.
