Necessaire, Creed, Augustinus Bader
It may not feel like fall where you are, but the season is on its way—and the best men’s grooming brands are offering a bevy of new ways to meet the moment.
Take the many that are offering citrus-scented products designed to lift your spirits on cold, dark days; or the others who’ve introduced deeply moisturizing serums and lotions to keep your skin in great condition from head to toe.
Below, a look at the best men’s grooming launches in September, from Creed, AKT, Necessaire, Valmont, and more.
-
AKT The Everyday Encore Body Oil
With the air getting drier and colder, there’s nothing quite like a body oil to help keep your skin hydrated and moisturized from neck to toe. This one has the added benefit of an alluring scent of mandarin and neroli, adding an energizing dash of citrus to even the darkest days.

Necessaire Cypres-Citronne Body Wash and Lotion

Valmont Regenerating Mask Treatment

-
Creed Oud Zarian
Creed’s newest masterwork blends smoky agarwood oil distilled from 80-year-old trees with ambergris and saffron, producing a scent that tempers oud’s somewhat polarizing character with a sense of restraint. Read our full review here.

Narcyss Deodorant No. 1
Image Credit: Narcyss It’s hard not to like Narcyss, the up-and-coming men’s skincare brand that makes amazing-smelling everything. Its first deodorant is no different, and deploys a blend of geranium and patchouli to offer long-lasting freshness.
-
Eighth Day The Ultra Rich Moisturizer
Image Credit: Eighth Day Eighth Day is one of those IYKYK brands—and those of us who do know use its products with pride. Its newest, The Ultra Rich Moisturizer, lives up to its name: It’s stacked with emollients and antioxidants that make it a uniquely comforting layer against dry air. If you’re on a retinoid, consider this the perfect fall and winter partner for it.

Memo Paris Odeon x Jean Julien

-
Horace x MoMA Store Hand Wash
Image Credit: Horace The hand soap in your powder room might be nice, but is it museum quality? To celebrate the reopening of the MoMA Store in New York City, the Museum of Modern Art is hosting a pop-up with one of France’s most popular men’s grooming brands, Horace. To mark the occasion, Horace devised two exclusive washes. Our favorite is the one with sandalwood and musk—spot on for fall.

Augustinus Bader Vitamin C
Image Credit: Augustinus Bader Vitamin C is beloved for its ability to reduce dark spots and even protect your skin from sun damage—but it oxidizes quickly and can even irritate those with sensitive skin. This formula from Augustinus Bader addresses both of those problems. Read our full review here.

Trudon Nuit Rouge Fragrances
Trudon has a knack for alluring scents you want to wear in the evening—for a special event, a red carpet, a date, and the like. Its new Nuit Rouge scents take that skill to new heights, with distinctive formulas you’ll keep coming back to anytime you feel like celebrating. Read our full review here.

Flamingo Estate Golden Girls Soap Brick

-
Cellcosmet Brightener XT and Ultra Brightening Elasto-Collagen-XT
Image Credit: Cellcosmet For anyone with age spots, shaving scars, or other forms of hyperpigmentation, this new duo from the Swiss laboratories of Cellcosmet is worth reaching for. The 24-day set of ampoules will rev up collagen production and skin turnover, helping to speed up the disappearance of these marks. The serum will help keep them from reappearing with continued use.
