When it comes to fall fragrances, a certain level or richness and warmth is needed to fully embody the spirit of the season. As the crisp and chilly fall air takes over the warm summer air, there’s no better time to change up your signature scent to something a bit richer and more complex.

Here are a few of our favorite fall scents to get you in the mood for a new season:

1. Comptoir Sud Pacifique Amour de Cacao: The first scent to ever use notes of chocolate, this sinfully sweet classic is steeped in rich, dark chocolate, orange zest and Tahitian vanilla.

Ladies, perhaps the best way to reward your guy for stuffing your stocking with Prada is to do the same for him. The Prada Man Value Set is a masculine, sensual, rich and complex scent that is subtly woven on top of the clean, classic smell of barber’s soap. The top notes consist of a rich blend of fresh mandarin, cardamom and bergamot, while the sensual mid notes of woodsy patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla are hearty and seductive. The clean, leathery notes of vetiver, neroli, saffron, orange blossom, and suede make for the perfect base notes. This set includes the eau de Toilette spray and after shave balm. Give the gift of luxurious fragrance this year – it’s one of the few gifts that are rewarding for the giver and the receiver at the same time.

Chain handles are one of the leading trends for Spring and Summer 2009 and can give your otherwise classic ensemble an edgy, modern look. Leading handbag designers including Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Prada and Moschino have added gleaming chain handles to their accessories lineups, and many other shoulder bag designers are following suit. But how do you wear this style with your summer outfit? Here are the different types of chains that work with different types of looks this season:

The oversized chain with buckle embellishments is a great addition to your oversized hobo or a large weekender bag. It’s a fresh, funky and casual look for your everyday bag, and works well for day and night.

The gleaming gold and silver chain is the perfect addition to a miniature shoulder bag for your night out on the town. It’s also appearing on stylish clutches and miniature pochettes to add some shine to your look. Look for thinner, necklace-style chain handles to complete your look for an elegant affair.

A leather and metal interlocking chain handle is a great way to dress up a casual outfit for summer, and this type of handle is appearing on both shoulder bags and bucket bags this season. The interlocking chain handle also provides some extra support and is highly durable for this season and beyond.

Double or triple chain handle bags are great for a dressy, rocker-chic inspired look and are a good match for wrap dresses, halter dresses and miniskirts you’re sporting this summer. These multi-chain bags double as an accessory that will become the focal point of your outfit, so avoid wearing too much jewelry with your ensemble to make the most of your look.

The half-chain handle bag is the latest sophisticated office-wear accessory. These bags are designed with a leather covering at the top of the chain, and give you the added benefit of extra comfort with the soft padded leather handle. Give your office ensemble a fresh, modern twist with one of these bags by your side. The half-chain handle bag made with patent leather, quilted leather or soft buttery-leather finish is a versatile and chic look for your office collection.

Scent is intensely personal. It has been said that there is no sense more strongly tied to memory than scent . Whether it’s your mother’s signature perfume, or your father’s favorite aftershave, fragrances can be as personal and memorable as a warm embrace or a special milestone in your life. For instance, when you smell a fragrance that reminds you of someone you love, you instantly recall fond memories of that person, or when you smell certain flowers that grew in your grandmother’s garden, it brings back intense memories of a certain time and place. Scent has a truly magical way of creating and solidifying memories in our minds. Does your signature fragrance create memorable experiences and the perfect first impressions?

The fragrances we choose to envelop ourselves in say a lot about us. Whether you’re a romantic at heart who prefers warm and floral scents, or a bubbly and lively personality who loves fresh , effervescent fragrances, one’s fragrance choices are intimately tied to the wearer’s moods and personality.

Fragrance is also a great way to incorporate your favorite designers into your everyday ensemble. Whether you live for the fashion-forward designs of Costume National , the sublimely graceful style of Vera Wang , the timeless glamour of Carolina Herrera , or the classic and contemporary Prada , your signature scent speaks volumes about your overall sense of style. Another great thing about fragrance is, even if today’s economy doesn’t allow you to afford the luxuries of a head-to-toe couture wardrobe, you can still indulge in your favorite designer’s signature scents.

What better way to create a lasting impression than to have someone say, “You smell great! What fragrance are you wearing?”, and with a knowing grin, you can casually say, “It’s Prada.”
