Fall-Scented Candles
There are only a handful of times during the year that have a clear scent profile. The most obvious, aside from the holidays, is the fall. When getting into an autumn state-of-mind, you can almost taste the apple cider and pumpkin pie. Even cozy evenings by the fireplace have a nostalgic smell.
As some of you may have read, I live in Miami. While I’m deprived of the beauty of fall foliage, I make up for it every year by filling my home with the delicious smells of autumn. And let’s be real. Candles are not only aromatic, they’re decorative. Some of the jars they come in are gorgeous! I repurpose mine to hold little plants and makeup brushes. So, as the days grow shorter and the sunshine begins to hide, calm your mind with these picks for the 10 best fall-scented candles to spice up your home. These fragrant beauties will lift your spirits and remind you why you love autumn so much!
Bond No. 9 New York New York Amber Scented Candle
The New York Amber Candle from Bond No. 9 New York is one of my favorite fall candles. It gives off the exact scent I think of when I think of the fall season, with notes like nutmeg, bergamot, sandalwood, amber, and jasmine. Best of all, it’ll burn for up to 60 hours!
The Harmonist Hypnotizing Fire Candle
All-black jar candles are a must-have for a modern, neutral-colored home, and the Hypnotizing Fire Candle from The Harmonist is perfect for the fall season. From the minute you light it, you’ll breathe in the smell of pimento berries and roses, with slightly spicy accents. With a burn time of 40 hours, it won’t last as long as some of the others I’ve included, but the chic aesthetic pretty much makes up for it.
Voluspa Spiced Pumpkin Latte Glass Candle
Is there a scent more reminiscent of fall than pumpkin? The Spiced Pumpkin Latte Glass Candle from Voluspa is easily my favorite pumpkin candle to light in my home during the fall. This hand-poured candle smells just like the popular fall drink, with notes of creamy coconut and vanilla marshmallow. Seriously, it smells good enough to drink, but I strongly discourage that. 😉
NEST New York Autumn Plum Candle Collection
I’ve yet to find a NEST New York candle I don’t love, but I’m partial to the Autumn Plum scent during the fall. The description tells you all you need to know: “This fall candle captures the sweet, woody aroma of freshly fallen autumn leaves with wild plum and cinnamon wrapped in the warmth of patchouli leaf and cashmere wood.” Plus, depending on which size you get, you can enjoy the scent for up to 120 hours!
Diptyque Paris Cannelle (Cinnamon) Classic Candle
If you ask me, no candle collection is complete without at least one Diptyque candle. The Cannelle (Cinnamon) candle was one of the first three scented candles produced by the company, and its enduring position among the most popular scents can be attributed to its captivating, soothing qualities. It’s perfectly earthy, spicy, and warm–everything a fall candle should be.
Malin+Goetz Dark Rum Candle
There’s so much to love about these candles from Malin+Goetz. Starting with the fact that each candle is handmade in Brooklyn, you can also rest assured that each one is crafted using a clean, earth-friendly blend of beeswax, vegetable, and soy waxes. The Dark Rum candle is my top pick for fall, but feel free to grab one of the other four scents as well!
Maison Margiela ‘REPLICA’ By The Fireplace Scented Candle
The ‘REPLICA’ By the Fireplace candle from Maison Margiela is a luxurious, designer candle and another one of my top picks for fall. Just as its name suggests, the scent will remind you of sitting by the fireplace and breathing in the comforting scent of clove, chestnuts, and vanilla.
Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt Candle
Here’s another candle that would fit right in with your neutral fall home decor. The No.04 Bois de Balincourt Candle from Maison Louis Marie has a scent that reminds me of a walk outside during a crisp fall morning. It’s perfectly earthy and woody, with scents of cedarwood and sandalwood that I love in a fall candle.
Dilo No. 03 Tobacco + Cedar – Shades Collection
It might seem strange to some people to describe a candle as “chic” but this dilo. candle most definitely is. I love their hand-poured candles, and the fact that they’re made using only USA-grown soy wax. The tobacco and cedar scent includes notes of musk and cedar wood, so it’s the perfect candle to light in the fall. The only thing prettier than the glass vase is the foil-printed box.
Brooklyn Candle Studio Toasted Pumpkin Limited Edition Candle
Finally, here’s another amazing pumpkin-scented candle to add to you fall decor. You’ll immediately recognize the smell of pumpkin, cardamom, nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon–all the ingredients of a delicious pumpkin pie. Every Brooklyn Candle Studio candle is hand-poured in Brooklyn, and made from 100% soy wax for a super clean burn.
