These 16 New Fragrances Are Absolutely Made For Late Summer

Late summer has a scent all of its own. We might still be slathered in coconutty sunscreen, our skin salty from dips in the ocean, but there’s a whisper of chill creeping in. And what’s that? A hint of pumpkin spice?  Happily, fragrance houses know we’re not quite ready to let go of summer, but there’s something exciting about a new season on the horizon — and their latest launches capture that in-between feeling perfectly.  From Ellis Brooklyn’s Plum Tonic, a moodier take on summer’s fruity fragrances, to Le Monde Gourmand’s Pumpkin Crème, which is practically fall in a bottle, these are the best new perfumes to have on your radar for late summer and beyond. At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff.
