Posted by Anonymous on Fri, 09/18/2015 - 8:35 PM

Think that pumpkin spiced lattes are the only way to the savory-sweet flavor of autumnal pumpkin? Sure, delicious candies and other sweet treats can indulge your palette with ease, but opting for pumpkin spiced beauty products are yet another way to enjoy the popular seasonal flavor.

Whether you prefer lifesaving skincare essentials or some warming candles, there’s countless ways to bring the fall spirit to your everyday routine. To easily satisfy your pumpkin spiced everything fix (hey, we aren’t judging!), here’s six products to properly set the mood.

For Rejuvenated Skin...To give your serums and facial washes a break, the Eminence Yam & Pumpkin Enzyme Peel ($48.99) helps dissolve dead skin cells, while promoting new cell turnover in return. And being that pumpkin treats your skin to vitamins such as Vitamin A and Vitamin C, you can expect to have a glowing, gorgeous complexion with continued use. 

For An Effective Scrub…  Easily remove dull and flaking skin thanks to the Glotherapeutics Pumpkin Enzyme Scrub ($34.99), which utilizes pumpkin enzymes, date seeds and jojoba beads to soften and smooth your complexion. Likewise, the Perfect Potion Cinnamon Facial Scrub ($28.99) pampers and exfoliates the skin with cinnamon and polished walnut shells.

For Savory Scents...To fill your home with mouthwatering spices, try the Northern Light Candles Sandalwood Spice Scented Candle ($14.99), which delivers a clean and fragrant burn for up to 90 hours. Similarly, the Cinnamon Stick Soy Candle ($17.99) treats the senses to a soothing, spicy blend of cinnamon and spice oils.

For Intense Hydration...The dry and cool air of fall can leave our skin dehydrated and severely dry. To pump back any lost moisture back into your face, the Eminence Pumpkin Latte Hydration Masque ($55.99) treats chapped skin to a puree of Vitamin E and Omega 9 nutrients.

Labor Day is literally only a few weeks away, and although we now have fall foliage and everything pumpkin spiced on our minds, we will still miss the light and carefree aromas of summer once the cool autumn air rolls around.

But to give the dwindling season a proper sendoff, we’re looking back at some of our favorite airy and come hither scents we’ll definitely miss. And being that summer isn’t over just yet, it’s never too late to snag a scent (or two) before those long beach days come to an end.

For A Tropical Escape...Perfect for all those romantic nights under the stars, the Calvin Klein Eternity Summer Eau De Parfum Spray ($28.99) brings delicious notes of juicy tangerine and deep woods to your skin. And equally casual, you don’t have to worry about this fragrance being too overpowering or strong. Just be sure to reapply several times a day for that soft, yet sensual aroma.

For Something Sexy…Although fall usually brings about notes of spices and woods, you can easily enjoy these notes before summer’s end thanks to the Jean Paul Gaultier Summer Eau d’Ete Parfumee Spray ($44.99). And with a potent, powerful smell, reapplication can be kept to a minimum, as savory vanilla and seductive amber are often longstanding.

For Special Occasions...Labor day is often synonymous with parties and weekend escapes, so for all those special events on the horizon, be sure to try theBurberry Brit Summer Eau De Toilette Spray ($37.99), filled with intoxicating citruses and woods.

For Summer All Year Round...The barbeques and endless beach days may be coming to end, but you can definitely enjoy the scent of summer all year round thanks to the Escada Turquoise Summer Eau De Toilette Spray ($58.99), which instantly brightens the mood with playful fruits and florals. And for a continuous summer mood, be sure to fill up your refillable perfume atomizer with this alluring scent.

For Unbeatable Romance...Always evoking romance and passion, the David Yurman Summer Essence Eau De Toilette Spray, Unboxed ($25.99) entices the senses with notes of apple blossom, pear and hyacinth.

For Upbeat Citruses...Often crisp and uplifting, citruses can bring freshness and and energy to any occasion. To help spark up your day, trust the Givenchy Very Irresistible Summer Eau d’Ete Alcohol Free Spray ($51.99) to bring lively traces of mandarin orange and tropical florals to your wrists and pulse points.

For Oriental Influences...Oriental scents can work well both day and night, so if you are on the hunt for a truly versatile fragrance, look to Kenzo Flower Summer Eau d’Ete Alcohol Free Spray ($35.99) to bring flattering notes of ginger, white musk and Mandarin Orange to your skin.

For Tropical Florals...For deep and exotic florals, the DKNY New York Summer Eau De Toilette Spray ($42.99) definitely jazzes up your perfume vanity tray, as a delightful medley of lily valley, oranges and flavorful raspberry immediately set the mood. 

Apple-picking officially kicks off fall for this FragranceNet.com family

Apple picking in the fallThis past weekend I took my kids apple picking and I noticed a familiar and comforting smell ... crisp air, falling leaves and the sweet smell of the fall harvest. Obviously, fall is just around the corner.


The beginning of fall means a few important events for our family. For one, football season begins, and I lose my normally healthy husband and son to nachos, chicken wings and beer (for the husband of course). Our wardrobe gets a makeover as we exchange our shorts and sandals for sweaters and boots. Plus we await shorter days and longer nights.

While this may be a dreaded transition for some, for my family, each season is its own celebration. For us, the warm smells of cinnamon and apple, the comfort of our favorite scarves, the great cozy nights by the fire playing board games, and the deep rich colors of crimson and gold are magical.

In my motherly effort to embrace the season, the citronella candles are switched out for warm scented candles, the flourescent nail polish is switched to darker, bolder colors and the flowery fragrances are replaced with my favorite orientals and greens.

Happy fall to all!
