We're all for a signature scent. If you're the kind of person who has one thing they love and will never stray, we get it. But a new season is such a perfect opportunity to explore that we can't help but implore everyone else to try something different and have fun with it. This fall, as the air gets crisp and the leaves get even crispier, that means embracing spicier, woodier, more complex colognes with the kind of oomph that doesn't quite work in the warmer months. Not quite sure what we mean? Check out our list of essential fall fragrances. Even those "signature scent" guys might become converts.

Find your new signature scent for the season ahead. |
Is there anything better than this time of the year? Football, college football, fashion weeks for those so inclined. But fall isn't just about swapping your linen pants and beach shoes for waxed jackets and boots, nor is it only about firing up the Weber before winter rolls around. A big part of fall, for us at least, is switching up your fragrance. Warm weather generally favors breezy, aquatic, and citrus blends, while the cold air makes us want spice, smoke, and incense.
The best fall fragrances, though, don't always pick a side. Heady yet uplifting, they balance both ends of the spectrum. Think icons like Diptyque Tempo and Azarro the Most Wanted Intense, alongside buzzy newcomers like a labdanum-spiked spin on Bleu de Chanel and D.S. & Durga's wool-inspired Grey Blazer made for Todd Snyder. There are a lot of great options and a lot to dig into. If you're in need of inspirations, we've got you covered. Below, 13 unbeatable colognes our editors swear by this fall. |

Just before the director Jon M. Chu premiered Wicked in theaters last fall, he had a surprise encounter while walking on the Universal Studios lot in Hollywood. Even on an average day at Universal, you're likely to pass by the Bates Motel, the stand-in for a certain time-traveling DeLorean, and a tram overflowing with tourists. It's a semi-surreal environment where one learns to expect the unexpected. But Chu was nevertheless stunned when he ran into Steven Spielberg—and the fabled director said he wanted to screen Wicked with him.
"I want you to be sitting right next to me and I want to see it in Dolby Atmos," Chu remembers him saying. The man who directed Jaws and Jurassic Park isn't exactly someone you say no to. So Chu dutifully arranged to show his movie adaptation of the acclaimed Broadway musical to his childhood idol. They ended up talking for nearly an hour afterward, with Spielberg asking endless questions about how Chu had pulled off certain shots and effects. The idea that a maestro like Spielberg could be interested in how he made a movie remains hard for Chu to grasp. "There's no way he cared," Chu says, laughing and poking fun at himself. "But he believed that he cared and was listening and engaged."

The title Crime 101 carries double meaning. Anyone who's ever been in a classroom knows that those numbers denote an introductory course. The basics of a subject. The fundamentals. But in this film it also stands for the 101, the aorta of the West Coast, the main artery in the lacework of high-speed freeways around Los Angeles. That's the primary getaway route of Davis, the serial jewel thief played by Chris Hemsworth, a gentleman robber who steals only what insurance can replace and plans carefully so that no one is ever hurt. He even keeps a bottle of water in the trunk for the security guard he locks in there. He's not exactly Robin Hood; he's taking from the rich and keeping it for himself. But his murky, painful past as someone who came from nothing makes him a little more sympathetic. "He's a good guy in a situation doing bad things," Hemsworth tells Esquire for this exclusive first look at the film, which debuts in theaters February 13 from Amazon MGM Studios. |
