Best Fall Fragrances for 2020 - Our Favorite Fall Colognes & Perfumes
Posted by DECANT X

Our 2020 Fall Favorites - Perfumes and Colognes for all!
Fall is here and we’re ready to embrace the change! With the cold front coming in and the need to swap out those summer shorts and sandals for chucky sweaters, layers, and closed toe footwear; it’s also time to switch up the fragrance profile! We can’t have you smelling like the ocean breeze while the leaves are falling- what kind of friend would we be?! !
We thought long and hard about which scents would make our “Fall 2020 Favorites” list. Although we categorized them into men and women, many of the fragrances are unisex, so feel free to explore the possibilities!
This season is all about starting a new, shedding the old and looking towards the future. Changing colors, textures and smells is all part of that necessary shift; therefore when it comes to aroma for this season we’re all about dessert like gourmands, deep green woody accords, warm spices, sweet liquors, and all the things that make us feel cozy, snug and laid back (until the madness of the holiday season begins at least)!
