This euphoric woodsy scent from genderless brand Boy Smells combines notes of sandalwood and cedar with fig leaves and coconut for a smell that's truly fit for forest nymphs. As one shopper said, it's a "great unisex scent that is perfect for a night out. One spray is all you need and it has a unique woodsy scent that is not too sweet with a hint of coconut."
Snif Sweet Ash, $65
With a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars and 323 reviews, the gender-neutral brand's most popular scent Sweet Ash is a perfect sweater-weather fragrance. It features notes of moss, woods, fir balsam, tonka, and black vanilla bean. You can even try it for free before you commit fully.
If you're looking for a more floral scent to spice up your autumnal nights, then YSL's Libre is for you. It features only three notes: fresh lavender, orange blossom, and saffron accord. While it sounds simple, the reality is a perfectly balanced spicy and floral perfume.
Prefer something that's more fresh than floral but still spicy enough to warm up a chilly night out? Abbott's Mojave mixes citrus and spicy notes to get a light unisex scent. It features notes of bergamot, black pepper, and tobacco leaf.
Glossier You Solid, $30
I'm sure you've heard of Glossier's flagship fragrance You, which comes in both liquid and solid form and features notes of ambrox, ambrette, musk, iris root, and pink pepper. Described as a scent that's "like a part of you," the refillable solid option has a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars and 326 reviews with shoppers saying: "[H]onestly this bad boy smells so good, not even like a perfume, just as if me myself smelled like a million bucks."
