10 NEW Fall Perfumes You Should Get This Season

Fall is when I start reaching for richer perfumes again. Give me cooler air, a good sweater, and a scent that stays close to my skin, and I am happy.

But this year, there are so many new fall perfumes coming out that it is hard to keep up. We have creamy vanilla, soft iris, juicy pear, dark woods, berries, musk, and even some fresh scents that can still work when the weather starts to cool down.

I went through the new releases and the perfumes mentioned in the video, and there are 10 new fall perfumes you should know about right now. Some are warm and sexy. Some are clean and easy. A few are sweet, but not in that “I smell like a cookie” way.

And honestly, that is what makes this list fun.

I also checked the current fragrance notes and release details because a few names and notes in the video transcript were slightly off. So, if you are building a fall perfume wardrobe, these are the bottles I would put on my testing list.

What Makes a Good Fall Perfume?

Before we get into the list, let’s talk about what I want from a fall perfume.

Fall scents do not have to be heavy. That is something I have learned over time.

Yes, vanilla, amber, woods, musk, spice, and warm florals work well in cooler weather. But I also love a clean pear scent or a soft iris perfume when I want something lighter.

The biggest thing is how the perfume feels on your skin.

Some scents smell sweet from the first spray. Others start fresh and become warm after 20 or 30 minutes. That drydown matters. I always try to give a new perfume time before deciding how I feel about it.

Also, perfume is very personal. The same bottle can smell creamy on one person and woody on another. Your skin, weather, and even how much you spray can change the result.

So think of this list as a fall perfume try-on list, not a rule book.

Now, let’s get into the new releases.

The 4 I’ve Already Tried

1. Creed Iris Debonair

Best for: Women who like a clean, classy scent

Notes: Bergamot, iris, fig, and English lavender

Creed sent me this one. I was nervous to open it. Why? Because I’m obsessed with Creed’s other 2026 release, Wild Vetiver. I call it my number one fragrance of the year. That’s my opinion, and I’m sticking to it.

So does Iris Debonair beat it? No. But it’s still really pretty.

It opens fresh with bergamot. Then the iris shows up. This isn’t the lipstick-smelling kind of iris. Well, it kind of is. But it’s creamier. Then the fig adds a soft, smooth feel.

On my skin, it dries down creamy. It gives me “put together button-up shirt” vibes. Think rich, classy, and polished. I don’t get a lot of sexy from it. That’s okay. Not every perfume has to be sexy.

I’d call it unisex. Anyone can wear it. And you don’t need to wait for cold weather. It works all year.

Why you’ll like it: It’s smooth, well blended, and not sweet at all.

2. Phlur Vanilla Canyon

Best for: Date nights and cozy evenings

Notes: Velvet plum, Madagascar vanilla, and wild honey

This one is so good, you guys. I’ve talked about it in other videos too.

Here’s something funny. The second I sprayed it, I smelled chocolate. Don’t ask me why. I just did.

This is a grown-up vanilla. It is not the sweet candy kind. It isn’t whipped cream or pastry either. It’s rich. It’s creamy. It feels warm and a little sexy.

Phlur had a great year in 2026. I loved Honey Moon. I loved Afterglow. But so far, Vanilla Canyon is my pick from them.

If you want something warm and cozy that isn’t basic vanilla, get your nose on this one. It’s perfect for date night.

Good to know: At Sephora, the 50 mL bottle is about $99. Shoppers rate it 4.6 out of 5 stars.

3. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu

Best for: Women who want a bold, long-lasting scent

Notes: Lychee, grapefruit, rose, jasmine, patchouli, amber, and vanilla

I’ve talked about this one a lot. I even have a little dent in my bank account from it. That’s how good it is.

My words for it? Hot. Heavy. Sexy. Bold. A beast.

Now, here’s the surprise. It doesn’t smell like the original Coco Mademoiselle to me. Not at all. I think it’s more of a crowd-pleaser.

Maybe you never loved Chanel. You might smell this and change your mind. That’s what I think will happen for a lot of people.

It’s made for women. But to me, it feels unisex. It even leans a little masculine. It opens with a touch of fruit, but don’t let that fool you. Then comes the rose and the warm vanilla.

I’m biased because it’s Chanel. Still, this is the “it” fragrance of all the new releases I’ve smelled.

Why you’ll like it: It’s strong, it lasts, and people will ask what you’re wearing.

4. Salt & Stone Amber Pear

Best for: The clean girl who wants a soft scent

Notes: Pear, amber, and clean musk

This is a first for Salt & Stone. It’s their very first eau de parfum. You can find it at Sephora. Congrats to them!

Maybe you already love their shower gels and body creams like I do. Now you can smell like them too.

Here’s who this is for. You wear a little brow, a little lash, and a little lip gloss. Then you’re out the door. You want to smell like your skin, but better. Fresh out of the shower. This is your scent.

Now for the honest part. I had to spray it a lot. I used a ton on my skin and my clothes. I got about four and a half to five hours. If you don’t like heavy spraying, it won’t be a beast mode scent.

But it’s great if you work close to other people. Maybe you work in healthcare. Maybe you work in a school. This one won’t bother anyone. It’s soft and easy.

People keep asking if it smells like Le Labo Another 13. I didn’t get that vibe. I see why they ask. Both have a pear note. But they’re cousins, not twins. Each one stands on its own.

Good to know: Perfume smells different on everyone. Your skin, your diet, and your body chemistry all matter. Test it on your own skin first.

The 6 on My Must-Smell List

Now for the fun part. I haven’t tried these yet. But I can’t wait to. I’ll take you with me when I go perfume shopping. We’ll spray them all together.

5. Le Labo Shiu 25 (Beijing City Exclusive)

Notes: Iris and olibanum over warm woods

This one is a city exclusive. Le Labo only sells these scents in the city they were made for. But once a year, they open the doors to the world.

This year’s new scent is for Beijing. I wanted to get in a store and smell it.

Heads up: The worldwide sale ran September 1 to 30. Today is October 1, so that window just closed. Check with Le Labo or your local store to see what’s still in stock.

6. Guerlain L’Heure Bleue (New 2026 Version)

Notes: Iris, orange blossom, vanilla, and ambroxan

I love Guerlain. I think they know how to do fragrance really well. This new take on a classic sounds creamy, powdery, and elegant.

It sounds so sophisticated. I can’t wait to smell it.

7. Valentino Vendetta Donna

Notes: Tuberose, red orange nectar, and sandalwood

This one is the new “it girl” date night scent. You know I love dating. So I’m all in.

It sounds fun, juicy, warm, and flirty. The sandalwood should give it a creamy, deep finish.

As we head into fall, I want something a little more sensual. This could be it.

8. Viktor&Rolf Bonbon Berry Jelly

Notes: Raspberry, blackcurrant, and peony

This one is playful. The bottle is so cute. It’s shaped like a candy bow.

It’s for you if you’re not ready for coats and boots yet. You want to keep the fruity, flirty summer vibe going. It should smell like jelly candy.

I’m not sure I’ll love it. Sweet isn’t always my thing. But I want to smell it anyway.

Fun tip: Viktor&Rolf says you can layer it with their Flowerbomb perfume for a floral berry mix.

9. Ex Nihilo Demon Dancer

Notes: Rhubarb, orange blossom, blackcurrant, and woody musk

I have a problem with the name. But the notes sound great.

It should be juicy, creamy, and woody. It’s supposed to smell expensive. And you know I love to smell like money.

10. Byredo Future Memories

Notes: Blackcurrant, iris, orange blossom, and vanilla

This is the one I think will be my favorite. But I’m not sure. If you’ve tried it, tell me!

I love the name. It’s described as green, ambery, musky, and mysterious. I’m all about mystery.

It’s also called a modern take on vanilla. It’s supposed to be different from typical gourmand scents.

Now, I’m not really a gourmand girl. I don’t like edible-smelling perfume. I don’t want to smell like pancake syrup or waffles. You ever sit in church and smell someone’s whole breakfast? Yeah. Not the vibe.

I want dense, sultry, and a little heavy. That’s why this one is calling my name.

Tips to Make Your Perfume Last

Want your scent to stick around? Try these.

• Spray on moisturized skin. Lotion helps scent hold on.
• Spray your pulse points. That means your wrists, neck, and chest.
• Spray your clothes too. Fabric holds scent well. Just check the label first.
• Don’t rub your wrists. It breaks down the scent.
• Spray more if you need to. Light scents like Amber Pear may need extra sprays.
