Our 8 Favorite Fall Fragrances for Under $100

You already knew a Cremo cologne would be on this list—after all, it is one of our all-time favorite affordable cologne brands. There are a few Cremo scents that work nicely for fall, but my favorite is definitely palo santo. Part of Cremo’s Reserve Collection (its more elevated line built around complex, artisanal blends), the Palo Santo EDT is a rich, smoky scent with a burst of bright cardamom up top, followed by dry papyrus and a base of Palo Santo, a fragrant wood with an incense-like aroma. It’s warm, sexy, and sophisticated, and perfect for a chilly evening.Fragrance FamilyWoody, smokyNotesBright cardamom, dry papyrus, Palo SantoSizes3.4 ozIf your goal is to find the best-quality fragrance under $100, Ranger Station’s unisex fragrances come in at $94 each and can easily go up against colognes three times their price. One of the Nashville-based perfume house’s newest launches is Lady Luck, a fun mix of amber, jasmine, cedarwood, and smoke. The warm woods, smoke, and amber provide a rich, sexy foundation, which contrasts nicely with the sweet, floral notes of jasmine.Fragrance FamilyAmber, woodyNotesAmber, jasmine, cedar, smokeSizes1.7 ozAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowThe newest addition to Snif’s Notewrks collection might be my favorite so far: Double Take is a delicious scent that cannot be pinned down. It’s musky with floral hints of orange blossom, nutty and creamy notes of sesame milk—and woody at its base. It’s sweet but not too sweet. In a word, it’s cozy, much like your favorite blanket or sweater.Fragrance FamilyMusky, floralNotesApricot, orange blossom, sesame milk accord, orcanox, sandalwood, sublimolideSizes0.34 oz, 1 ozWhile the other fragrances in Gap’s newly relaunched collection lean light and airy or bright and fruity, Om is warm, rich, and woody. In other words, this one is the scent we’d pick for the colder months. It’s meant to evoke calmness and glowing light (you really just have to smell it to get it) with a fun balance of spicy ginger and soft water lotus at the top; the heart adds some more soft florals and sandalwood, while the base is woody and musky.Fragrance FamilyWoodyNotesGinger, olibanum, water lotus, lilyflor, sandalwood, coriander flower, amber woods, cashmeran, cedar, balsamic musksSizes0.3 oz, 1.7 ozAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowDolce & Gabbana’s The One for Men is undeniably a fall classic, but if you’re not ready to pay designer prices, House of Twist makes its own homage to the scent for under $40. It starts out fresh and green with grapefruit, basil, and coriander, but the heart is where things start to get spicy with cardamom and ginger. Add in a rich base of tobacco, sandalwood, and amber, and you have a warm, seductive scent perfect for fall.Fragrance FamilyAmber, spicyNotesGrapefruit, basil, coriander, orange blossom, cardamom, ginger, tobacco, sandalwood, amberSizes3.4 ozHuron makes some wonderful summer scents we were spritzing all through July and August, but its newest EDP is actually perfect for fall. Oud Wood + Musk combines the smoky, rich woodiness of oud with clean musk, resulting in an intriguing contrast that’s quite masculine and sexy. Smooth notes of leather, santal, and cashmere woods balance out the deeper, smokier oud.Fragrance FamilyWoody, muskyNotesMusk, leather, coffeewood, ambroxan, white oud, santal, cashmere woodsSizes1.7 ozAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowFine’ry is another one of our favorite affordable cologne brands, and there are quite a few scents from the men’s line that work for fall.
