what are the best new luxury designer perfumes and fragrances of fall 2022?
We’re not too old to believe in magic potions. Like music, fragrances appeal to our subconscious mind and trigger our emotions without our conscious knowledge that it’s even happening.
The notes are ephemeral, but their effects are lasting. A whiff of a forgotten soap can transport us back to our childhood bathroom, pink tiles and all. The smell of an ex’s cologne while shopping on a Saturday afternoon can break our hearts all over again.
When you’re looking to immerse yourself in a mood, cement some new experiences, and produce some positive associations, a scent can be a powerful tool.
Fall is one of the most evocative seasons – a sublime liminal space where things get moodier and more sultry. Ahead, we’ve curated 7 of the most romantic and sensual perfumes — from flirtatious florals to the woodsy and smoky. Whatever mood or phase you’re in, there’s a potion with your number on it.
7 best new luxury designer perfumes and fragrances of fall 2022
1. loewe earth.
We begin our list of must-try fall parfum choices with something appropriately musky. Inspired by the elements that connect nature, LOEWE’s latest release is imbued with notes of truffle, as well as pear, elemi, mimosa and violet. Its warmth and elegance is exactly what we want on our skin as we’re strolling arm in arm with a date through the fall foliage.

2. guerlain cherry oud.
Cherry Oud is a new fragrance for women and men launched in 2022 under L’art et La Matière collection. A duo of roses is at this fragrance’s heart, composed of honey-toned Turkish rose absolute and Bulgarian rose essence. The base notes of cherry accord, leather, and oud wood call to mind a fleeting sweetness with a provocative quality – inspired by the bright, glossy red that Jeff Koons uses to coat his creations. Finally, cinnamon and cardamom spices enhance the fruity intensity of the cherry accord while giving it a mysterious complexity.

3. chanel sycomore.
The latest reimagined version of Chanel’s Sycomore parfum has the same familiar notes of vetiver, cedar and vanilla rose as its 1930s predecessor with the addition of iris and subtle leather. The result is a love letter to Autumn – woodsy, sensual, and refined. The gender-fluid scent was first created by Gabrielle Chanel, echoing her childhood memories spent amongst centuries-old volcanoes in Auvergne.

4. la perla luminous.
Playful and confident, La Perla’s Luminous brings new layers to their 2021 signature parfum. Inspired by the peek-a-boo style of the La Perla lace bralettes, the fragrance opens with musky ambrette seed, giving way to soft, yet vibrant Jasmine Sambac and Sandalwood. Sensual notes of cedarwood complete the alchemy – adding a sparkle from the moment you first spritz.
BUY NOW – $108 for 50 ml.
5. penhaligon highgrove bouquet.
Created with the newly crowned King Charles III, Highgrove Bouquet is a late summer fragrance that has continued relevance in the fall months. It’s the smell of earthly sunshine derived from the weeping silver lime tree which grows in abundance at Highgrove House (his family home when he was the Prince of Wales). Notes of tuberose and mimosa add a powdery effect which some fans have liked to “yellow velvet” while lavender and geranium add a pleasing crispness. Ten percent of the proceeds help fund The Prince’s Foundation, which offers training and education programs that champion sustainability and help preserve heritage skills that might otherwise be lost.
BUY NOW – £155 for 100 ml.
6. hermes violette volynka.
Newly released this month from the luxurious HERMESSENCE line by the house of Hermès, VIOLETTE VOLYNKA is an intense and mysterious scent that lingers and changes in-between masculine and feminine. The strength and hardness of Volynka leather is pulled in the opposite direction by the delicate and powdery notes of violet. Smoky and sweet, it encapsulates how we imagine an ideal fall day would.
BUY NOW – $286 for 3.4 oz
7. cosmoss sacred mist.
Sacred Mist is the latest scent from eternal It-girl, Kate Moss’ beauty and wellness brand Cosmoss. The eau de parfum is blended with carefully curated essential oils that not only make you smell wonderful but moisturize, firm and tone the skin at the same time. A sensual and spicy balance of oak moss, cedarwood and tonka is finished with jasmine and floral notes for a calming sensation. The aromatherapeutic effects of patchouli, ginseng, white tea, and lemon essential oils boost the mood whenever you mist.
