Best new perfumes 2022 - autumn fragrance to help decide on which scent to wear with your pumpkin spice candles and wood-burning stoves this season
Finding your signature perfume, like discovering and perfecting your style, takes time and a lot of trial and error. It frequently implies that you spend far too much time at your local perfume counter spritzing and smelling every new release in search of the one: the fragrance that you can wear day in and day out without getting tired of until it becomes synonymous with who you are.
Nonetheless, the process can leave you feeling as if you've tried every perfume on the market. Not to mention that many people like to switch up their scents with the seasons. If you've found yourself without a signature scent and completely baffled this year, let us introduce you to all of the new perfumes that have been launched or re-launched in 2022. This list will help you find your next autumn new scent this year, with everything from fun, fruity blends to a few new heady floral options.
Keep coming back to this page because we'll be updating it as new products are released over the next months. I found my new favorite scent after trying one of these, so anything is possible!
Top 5 Best Fall Perfumes to Make You Feel Cozy All Season
A good fragrance should have a good balance of complementary scents, be long-lasting, and match your personality. In terms of longevity and balance, essential oils outperform synthetics.
It's also important to understand the distinction between eau de toilette and perfume - if you're curious, EDT is a perfume with a concentration of 4-15% that lasts for 3-4 hours, whereas Eau de Parfum has a higher concentration, around 15-20%. Read our blog Extracit de perfume to learn more about different fragrances.
If you're not sure what kind of scent you or the intended recipient of the perfume prefers, scent types or "families" can help. The buzzwords for men's and women's fragrances are floral, fresh, fruity, citrus, oriental, woody, and spicy.
To narrow it down, start with these simple descriptors and find the notes that appeal to you (for example, rose, jasmine, bergamot, or vetiver).
1. Gucci Bloom Acqua Di Fiori Eau De Toilette
Gucci Bloom Acqua di Fiori, which is intensely green and fresh, "celebrates the joy and energy of youth." It was created by master perfumer Alberto Morillas and combines the subtle musky tones of Galbanum leaves and the delicate spiciness of Cassis buds with the blooming floral notes of Gucci Bloom. The fragrance is uplifting and feminine, and it comes in a pale pink bottle with a whimsical floral print that reflects the scent's fresh and energetic notes.

2. Viktor Rolf Flowerbomb Eau De Parfum Spray
Viktor Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum is an explosive floral bouquet containing tens of Cattleyas, hundreds of Sambac Jasmine, thousands of freesia, and millions of rose petals, all enriched by addictive patchouli, savory amber musk, and vanilla scent. We adore the floral explosion of uplift and positivity. Flowerbomb isn't overpowering, but the sweet scent lasts a long time. We absolutely adore the bold fragrance with detectable notes of musk and nuances of fruity flavors. Use sparingly, we find one spritz and you're set for the day – or night!

3. Marc Jacobs Perfect Eau De Parfum
This perfume opens with juicy rhubarb and bright daffodil notes, followed by a comforting heart of almond milk and a soft dry down of cedarwood and cashmere. Perfect is an unconventional yet harmonious clash of fresh florals and calm, smoothing notes that is modern, bright, and feminine. The fragrance is a combination of floral powder notes, sprightly hints of peony and lychee, and the embellishment of springtime freesia. We're big fans of the airy, flirtatious head notes that drift away to reveal the heady magnolia and lily of the valley, as well as subtle intimations of warm amber and elegant cedarwood.

Why we choose it: Light, sweet, creamy almond milk and cashmere base, Strong but not overwhelming, Warm and Sexy scent
4. Michael Kors Wonderlust Eau De Parfum
Micheal Kors has created a beautifully balanced fragrance with top notes of bergamot and pink pepper and a smooth sandalwood base that reviewers say moves effortlessly from fresh and zingy to soft and mellow over the course of wear. The on-trend ombre bottle, with its sunset hues and luxe gold cap (reminiscent of MK's famous hardware), was created to evoke the memory of a warm autumn evening, just like the fragrance inside. This is a great gift for the Michael Kors fan in your life, or for anyone who wants a deliciously exotic and unexpected fragrance.

Patchouli-incense and Vetiver balance the decadent Noir Gourmand Accord. Warm Balsam and smooth Sandalwood are given a fluid creaminess by vanilla tears.

Parfums that grab our attention - Byredo De Los Santos, Black Opium Illicit Green, Jo Malone London Aqua Lemon Cologne, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, Tom Ford Rose Prick- but we think they deserved a special blog.
We've all gone into a store, sprayed a few different perfumes on our wrists, sniffed them right away, and then made a snap decision on which one we like best. This may appear to be a good way to test fragrances, but it isn't, and you'll be relieved to know that at Beauty Kiss, we take a little more time finding the best women's perfumes.
We'll either spray the perfume on blotter paper from a distance of about 15 centimeters or test it on our own skin. This will provide an accurate representation of how the scent smells. It’s important not to wear perfume or scented body products when shopping for a new fragrance as this can alter the development of the chosen scent.
We'll take in the powerful top notes right away. Of course, we'll return to the perfume to see how it evolves over time as the heart and base notes emerge. This is significant because this is how the fragrance will smell for the majority of the day.
It's important to note that at Beauty Kiss, we don't test women's perfumes in a lab; instead, we use them as you would. This allows us to see how they develop in the real world and allows us to make accurate recommendations based on our own experiences.
