Pumpkin spice lovers, our season is here. Not a pumpkin fan? Fall brings with it tons of other scents. If you’re a fruit fan, there’s apple, pear, grape, fig and more. Prefer a more gourmand vibe? Vanilla, cinnamon and brown sugar are the way to go. And, of course, there are woodsy options like santal and oak.
While you can easily find a candle in any of these aromas, indulging in some fall-scented body care is a good way to keep those fragrances with you all day long. To embrace the season, we gathered highly rated lotions, body scrubs and body washes in some of fall’s most popular scents. Check them out below.

How we picked fall-scented body care from Amazon
To come up with a list of the best fall-scented body care from Amazon, we focused on lotions, body washes and body scrubs. We curated the list by prioritizing the following things:
- Scent: While pumpkin may be the most obvious fall scent, we made sure to pick products in a variety of fall scents to appeal to all noses. You’ll find fruity, gourmand and more nature-based scents.
- Price: Seasonal scents tend to only be appealing during that season. Come the holidays, you’ll likely want to switch to scents like pine, peppermint and eggnog. Because of this, spending a fortune on items you’ll only use for a few months is not so practical. That’s why we kept every product on our list under $20.
- Ratings: All of the products below have at least a 4-star average rating or above from at least a few hundred customer reviews on Amazon.
Best fall-scented lotions from Amazon
Sweet pumpkin, cinnamon and vanilla bean combine to create the sweet scent in this lotion. But it’s not just a nice smell. The lotion contains shea butter to deeply hydrate skin and the formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly, according to the brand.
The warm scent of caramel on a crisp fall day? Yes, please. This creamy, buttery-scented lotion has a non-greasy formula that contains sesame seed and macadamia nut oil. The brand was founded by a father-daughter duo and the lotion is handcrafted in small batches in Indiana. The lotion is also free of parabens and petroleum, making it a good option for those with sensitive skin.
When it comes to seasonal scents, Bath & Body Works has it down. This particular body lotion combines warm vanilla with earthy sandalwood for a scent that manages to feel both cozy and fresh. The lotion also contains shea butter and vitamins E and B5 to hydrate and nourish skin, according to the brand.
While apples tend to get all of the attention come fall, pears are just as seasonal — and smell just as good. This lotion offers that crisp pear scent and contains goat milk, which is known to be soothing for sensitive skin and really hydrating, according to the brand. The brand offers a larger size, but we like this 3-ounce option for travel.
Best fall-scented body scrubs from Amazon
Use this brown sugar body scrub on your face or body. It has small particles to avoid scratching your irritated skin, and it leaves behind a layer of moisture after you wash the product off, according to the brand. The formula is free from parabens and sulfates and is made in the United States.
Apricot, pumpkin and a hint of sandalwood combine in this sugar scrub to leave behind a sweet, earthy scent. The scrub also contains shea butter and six different oils to moisturize as it exfoliates.
One of my favorite days of fall: When the weather is crisp enough to make the official switch from iced to hot coffee. This scrub, which is made from real coffee grinds, makes me think of that. Along with the grinds, it contains almond oil and vitamin E to support skin repair and hydration, according to the brand. I’ve been using it for years and love how glowy my skin looks after using it.
You can’t have a list of fall scents without apple. This body wash from Dove combines almond milk and apple for a creamy yet crisp scent. Reviewers appreciate how well it lathers and say skin feels hydrated long after washing with it.
I am not a sweet or girlie scent type of gal. Instead, I gravitate towards deeper, cleaner scents that are often favored by men. So, when my husband bought this, I decided to try it out in the shower — and fell in love. The body wash combines currant, ambergris and moss for a warm scent that is just potent enough to leave a lingering scent on your skin after drying off.
Method may be best known for its cleaning products, but I’m a big fan of its hand soaps and body washes, too. This body wash combines pear, red berries and mandarin for a uniquely fruity smell. The body wash is free of parabens and phthalates, and the bottle is made from recycled plastic.
Made with apple cider vinegar and organic apple juice, this body wash cleanses without stripping the skin. It is free of sulfates, parabens and artificial fragrance, so it suits sensitive skin. It lathers well and leaves a fresh orchard‑like scent that balances the vinegar tang.
This wash feels indulgent like a fall‑inspired dessert for the skin. The foaming gel cleans gently while retaining moisture. It pairs cozy pumpkin notes with hints of apricot and vanilla for a scent that’s nostalgic without being overwhelming.
