It's a well-known fact that pumpkin is the scent of fall.

But while pumpkin spice may make a great living room candle, it's a smell that arguably doesn't belong on your body.

Instead, the world's top perfumers have been hard at work sourcing the perfect gourmand, floral, spicy, and woodsy notes to pair together, and eventually bottle up into fall 2020's best new fragrances.

Whether you switch out your signature scent every season or you're simply bored of your current favorite, this season's new set of perfumes include options for everyone.

From Jo Malone London's woodsy cologne to Giorgio Armani's ethically and sustainably sourced fresh floral scent, these are the13 best new fragrances of fall 2020.
