With our wardrobe colours getting darker and the breeze pushing our scent trail further, it’s time to retire the summer scents for their habitual hibernation. Replacing their spot in the beauty bag are the autumnal fragrances—ambers, musks, and decadent gourmands that last throughout the night. Complementing them are powdery vanillas and fresher, second-skin-like scents that make colder days feel warm. Here’s our edit of the fall perfumes worth adding to your beauty bag.
BYREDO | Gypsy Water Hair Perfume
The house’s signature Gypsy Water scent makes for the perfect transitional scent. It’s a tad fruity, a tad green, but ultimately a warm, cosy scent with amber, sandalwood, and vanilla notes. It also works as a neat refresher for day-old hair.
Chanel | Chance Hair Mist
For those looking for scents on the spicier side, Chanel’s Chance blends Pink Pepper, Jasmine and Amber Patchouli that leave behind a warm spicy trail. And despite it being a hair mist, the scent comes with a strong sillage, so a few spritzes are all you need.
Dior | Oud Rosewood Hair Perfume
While oud has a permanent fixture in the region, Dior’s iteration takes the classic rose-oud combo and makes it smokier with sandalwood. It especially works best during the colder evenings, when the warm woody scent feels deeper and cosier.
gisou | Honey Infused Hair Perfume Vanilla Glaze
A delicious vanilla that makes your hair feel edible, this scent by gisou does more than just perfume. Formulated with the brand’s signature Mirsalehi Honey, you can also expect your hair to feel hydrated, shinier, and refreshed.
Lootah Perfumes | Maroon Hair Mist
Beginning with a unique combination of peach, saffron, and coriander, the Maroon Hair Mist takes the region’s favourite olfactory notes and refines them. We’re talking notes of jasmine, rose, and patchouli blended with leather, moss, and musky accords.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian | Oud Satin Mood Hair Perfume
Noted by Curly Fragrance as the ultimate date night scent, its hair perfume version only adds to the sensual mood. The signature scent of rose, oud, and vanilla is distilled to complement the hair and enhance the scent trail when paired with its EDP sister.
Memo Paris | Odéon Hair Perfume
Inspired by jazzy nights in Paris, this hair perfume comes in an artistically done bottle and wraps the hair with notes of rose, cashmere, tonka bean, and amber. It’s more tart than the other scents on this list, and perfect for those who like their rose scents to also feel a bit gourmand.
PHLUR | Cashmere Skin Hair and Body Mist
With a name like Cashmere Skin, you can already guess how the scent will feel like on freshly washed hair. Made for those who love a clean gourmand, Cashmere Skin begins with a nutty opening with almond accords before moving onto notes of cream and vanilla, drying down to ambrette and musk. It feels like a hug in the best way possible, and also works as a foundation for headier fragrance layers.
SISLEY | Hair Rituel Le Parfum
Bottling up SISLEY’s signature scent into a hair perfume, the Hair Rituel is a woody-citrus that’s ideal for daytime. Notes of lemon and pink pepper offer a fresh, spicy feel, while the dry down of soft musks and amber is comforting and long-lasting. The lightweight mist also works to nourish the hair, protecting it while also scenting it.
