Fall is here whether we like it or not.

Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Milk
This might be my favorite fragrance of the year so far.
It’s held down by delicious cocoa at the base and a touch of woody amyris.
It’s a multifaceted take on vanilla that you keep rediscovering throughout wear.
There are a lot of vanilla fragrances out there, but this one is worth checking out.
Yes, it’s fruity but also woody, spicy, sweet, and charred.
There are some notes you’d expect and some you wouldn’t.
A burning cherry is complemented by a juicy raspberry and brings and brings fire to caramelized praline.
This is a bold, unexpected take on the fruit family that works.
It’s a bright, sweet, tangy scent that’s equally citrusy, green, and flora.
A lot is going on, but it’s never too much.
Snif Dead Dino
Dead Dino might be one of the most interesting fragrances of the year.
It’s a fragrant interpretation of gasolinehear me outbut it’s really good.
It starts very dark and smoky, almost like a burnt-out match or stale cigarette smoke.
As it wears, it gets brighter and heats up on your skin.
By the end of the day, it becomes noticeably sweeter, with a honey-like amber.
Still, this is one of the best vehicle-inspired scents I’ve tried thus far.
The rich, leathery notes are layered with spicy pepper, woody cedar and finished with saffron and vanilla.
This one emulates the texture of plush, luxurious leather and invites you to come closer.
Noir Extreme Parfum is made for fall.
The tonka bean brings a much-needed sweetness to the scent that could otherwise easily be too smothering.
It’s indulgent and hedonistic but deftly balanced, so the wear never gets suffocating.
Superworld Unknown is inspired by a carnival and turns out to be a people-pleaser with something for everyone.
A soft rose blossoms beautifully on the skin, reading like a musk.
Juicy lime livens up the scent with a bright, citrusy zest.
A bit of cassia and sandalwood adds spice to meld it all together.
This was interesting from the second I sprayed it on, but it gets exponentially better as it wears.
It’s round and beautiful on the skin and works its way down to a sweet, alluring musk.
Throughout wear, it’s very welcoming and approachable, great for anyone or any season.
How would that smell as a fragrance?
Well, I guess a lot like this.
It’s part aldehydes, which smell very clean and has metallic and floral notes.
It sounds odd, but it is pulled off beautifully.
It’s an effervescent, refreshing scent that feels like a fresh, cool breeze on your skin.
It’s sophisticated without feeling sporty and floral without feeling typical.
Prada Paradoxe
This fragrance bottle is stunning, and the scent it houses is just as good.
A bright note of neroli mixes with fresh jasmine for a luminous, breezy opening.
It wears consistently and is equally sweet, warm, and floral.
Soft but consistent is a challenging balance to strike, but the Good Fortune is a masterclass in both.
If the idea of a chocolatey fragrance scares you, don’t let it.
It’s inviting, wearable, and undeniably delicious, like warm cake and creamy frosting.
It finishes with the tiniest bit of rubber from a balloon floating through the air.
Annabel’s Birthday Cake is absolutely one of a kind, and it’s a real party.
Still, it’s layered beautifully without making it too heavy, dry, or stale.
