After relocating across the country this spring, my collection of perfumes experienced a significant change. Although I would have loved to safely bring all of my favorite fragrances in a dedicated perfume box from New York to my hometown of Seattle, I faced the potential loss of some bottles due to being jostled around in a large moving truck. Rather than risking their fate to sudden halts on the highway, I chose to share several with family, friends, and neighbors looking for a fresh scent. Instead of immediately replacing all of them over the summer, I opted to save a little money and wait for the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days to indulge in shopping. Running from October 7 to 8, this savings event allows you to purchase all your beauty, fashion, and lifestyle essentials at substantial discounts, and I plan to grab all the scents I had to let go of.
**The Best Fragrances to Shop During October Prime Day**
**Lake & Skye 11 11 Eau de Parfum**
Scent Type: Amber musks
Notes: Ozonic accord, amberwood, cyclamen, marine, white musk, cedarwood
I'll never refuse a beautiful sheer fragrance that’s lovely worn alone or layered with others. This one from Lake & Skye is transparent and fresh with a delightful mix of clear musk and white amber. It evokes the comforting feeling of lounging in your favorite classic white T-shirt.
**Philosophy Fresh Cream Eau de Toilette**
Scent Type: Sweet gourmand
Notes: Whipped cream, buttercream, tonka bean
While I haven't always been a huge fan of gourmand scents (especially those that remind me of baked goods), Philosophy's Fresh Cream Eau de Toilette is genuinely irresistible. I believe it's the tonka bean base note supporting the whipped cream and buttercream that truly draws me in.
**Burberry Burberry for Women Eau de Parfum**
Scent Type: Fruity florals
Notes: Blackcurrant, green apple, jasmine, musk, vanilla
With the arrival of fall comes the return of sweet, musky fragrances to my daily perfume collection, and this Burberry scent has maintained its status as a must-have this year. It starts with tart blackcurrant and transitions into a lively mix of crisp green apple resting on a smooth base.
**Ellis Brooklyn Salt Eau de Parfum**
Scent Type: Fresh aquatic
Notes: Ylang-ylang, violet leaves absolute, Tahitian tiare, magnolia dianica, musk, ambergris, sandalwood
Although I don’t typically select aquatic perfumes as summer ends, I’ve been excited to explore fresh and surprising ways to wear them in fall. This scent stands out due to the violet leaves, which add a clean, powdery essence against the woody notes.
**Estée Lauder Estée Lauder Beautiful Magnolia Eau de Parfum**
Scent Type: Green floral
Notes: Magnolia petals, maté, water lotus, magnolia oil, solar gardenia, rose, cedarwood, sandalwood, illumina musk
I always find space in my overflowing medicine cabinet for at least one (or two) additional magnolia-infused fragrances. This one reinvents the classic note by incorporating earthy maté harmonized with fresh water lotus, gardenia, and warm musk. While it’s certainly floral, I particularly appreciate its green notes.
**Dime Dans Les Bois Eau de Toilette**
Scent Type: Woody florals
Notes: Red saffron, almond, fir balsam, night jasmine, amber, ambrox, cedarwood, ambergris, moss
Recently, I’ve been searching for a woody floral fragrance versatile enough to wear across seasons. Dime Beauty’s Dans Les Bois Eau de Toilette was one of the first scents that surpassed my expectations with a rich blend of blooming florals complemented by a harmonious mix of earthy and woody aromas.
**DedCool Taunt Eau de Parfum**
Scent Type: Sheer spices
Notes: Bergamot, cassis, vanilla, amber
You can never have too many warm, second-skin fragrances in your collection, and DedCool proves my point with every release. I discovered Taunt from a fellow beauty editor, who loved the bright bergamot opening, while I’m charmed by the smooth hint of vanilla and amber beneath.
**Ralph Lauren Romance Eau de Parfum**
Scent Type: Woody floral
Notes: Rose damascena, jasmine absolute, pink peppercorn
This aptly named fragrance captures the moments after a successful first date, leaving you pondering when you will meet again. Ralph Lauren’s most romantic scent opens with lush rose notes before revealing powdery jasmine ignited by pink peppercorn. Everything about this perfume keeps me falling in love.
**Philosophy Amazing Grace Eau de Toilette**
Scent Type: Musky florals
Notes: Bergamot, lily of the
