For some Fall is a time of reflection, a window into the winter winds ahead. For others, its the season of sensorial delights. Our favorite Fall fragrances with draws from Le Labo, Etat Libre D’Orange, L’Artisan Parfumeur and Mona di Orio.

As Rossy de Palma before her, the choice of Ms. Swinton is a good fit with Etat Libre D’Orange.

Keep your face there close.
