These Fall Candles Are On Fire (And Incredibly Cozy)

By Jennifer Ford · Updated August 13, 2024

It’s back-to-school season, and stores are already rolling out Halloween decorations (so crazy, right?). These are sure signs that fall is just around the corner. And if you’re anything like me, these early hints of autumn make you want to leap into a chunky sweater. But it could take more than a visual cue to get you in a fall groove. So, if you’re not quite there yet, enter the world of scented candles.

The smell of freshly fallen leaves, pumpkin spice, and the comforting scent of a crackling fireplace can instantly teleport you to a fall state of mind. To help you ease into the season, below, I’ve curated a list of the best scented candles for fall.
