The crisp antithesis to that ubiquitous sugary sweet scent. Ranger Station’s cheekily named Anti-Pumpkin skips the cinnamon, caramel and coffee-shop syrup that tends to take over this time of year. Instead, it smells like an actual autumn day: pine needles, crisp morning air, falling leaves and a touch of petrichor—that earthy scent you get after rain. It’s woodsy and atmospheric without making your place smell like a seasonal candle aisle. In other words, exactly what you want to burn when the first cool night finally arrives.

Want the perfect cropped tee? Head to the Gap. With trousers and jeans getting wider and higher, an extra-long T-shirt can throw the whole silhouette off. Gap’s heavyweight tee fixes that with a relaxed shape and shorter hem that hits above the hip, giving you cleaner proportions without looking actually, well, cropped. It comes in multiple colors, is made from 100% cotton with enough weight to hold its shape, and Gap even suggests sizing down if you want a more classic fit.

The Swiss Army knife just got a design upgrade. The James Brand spent three years refining the Helton, its take on the classic pocket multi-tool, stripping away the stuff you rarely use and keeping nine genuinely handy tools. There’s a partially serrated VG-10 blade, spring-action scissors, magnetic Phillips and flathead drivers, tweezers, files and, naturally, a bottle opener. Better still, every implement locks into place and the whole aluminum package is slimmer than a pack of gum. It’s the sort of handsome, genuinely useful object that makes a pretty convincing case for carrying a multi-tool again.

Your favorite influencer’s favorite mini fridge is now easier to buy. Rocco’s new Essential takes the furniture-like good looks of its original beverage fridge and pares things back for everyday drinking—and a considerably lower price. It’s got the same compressor technology as Sub-Zero, isolated temperature zones, reversible racks, and a top that doubles as a bar cart. Oh, and it still comes in multiple colors to suit your design style.

Workwear with an art-school streak. 3sixteen looked to old British fishing smocks, which were later adopted by artists and craftspeople, for this roomy pullover layer. The wide, boxy shape is cut from peached cotton twill in a warm teak shade, with a mock neck and substantial cuffs adding some structure. It’s practical by design, but the proportions are what make it feel especially right now. Pull it over a tee with wide jeans or fatigues and you’ve got a fall outfit that looks considerably more interesting than another chore coat.
