The most important article to read this season is the best candles for fall. Or maybe candles with fall scents? Either way, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re looking for the perfect pumpkin scent, want to feel like you’re among crisp autumn leaves, want a more masculine smoky vibe, or a warm vanilla vibe, we’ve found the perfect candle for you.
As I get older, candles have become more and more important in my daily life. I believe scent evokes a ton of memories and nostalgia, which is why I have a candle collection of nearly 50 candles (seriously). For me, fall scents are hands down the best and I love lighting them up no matter the season. So grab a pumpkin spice latte and a chunky sweater and light a candle (sorry, I just couldn’t resist).
When I first moved, my mom came to visit and asked if she could bring anything from the US. I asked her for just two things: some salsa and a Bath & Body Works candle. She didn’t realize that these two items were particularly heavy and would damage the suitcase on the way. She was kind enough to carry the suitcase up the stairs to our house in Germany. But I wanted a candle with a fall scent!
It’s okay to start lighting fall-scented candles. If Starbucks is releasing fall drinks, we should light fall candles too.
Best Fall Candles
I am obsessed with this scent. It’s the perfect combination of marshmallow fireside and pumpkin with woodsy notes. It’s the scent of October in a bottle. B&BW must have scientifically studied this scent and sell it every year.
Pumpkin scented candles perfect for fall
tie!! Anthropologie Pumpkin Cloves and Target Pumpkin Spice
Last year, I would have confidently said that Anthropologie’s Pumpkin Clove candle was the best pumpkin candle ever, if not the best-smelling candle ever. It has a very strong scent and leaves your whole house smelling amazing. I especially love burning this candle when I have guests over. Plus, it comes in a beautiful glass jar with a gold lid. But it’s a bit pricey at $32 a bottle.
And… Target just released a pumpkin spice candle to rival the Anthropologie candle. They both smell eerily similar. They both have a creamy pumpkin scent with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. But do they burn the same? I tried them and they both smelled really strong, filling my home with a mellow, gentle aroma.
I think the one at Target is a little sweeter and the one at Anthropologie is spicier, and the one at Target is only $12, so it’s a great deal.
These are two of the best fall candles out there.
Target Candles has: Pumpkin Jar– Too cute to miss!

Bath & Body Works Pumpkin Vanilla Cream
I love vanilla. It’s my favorite scent. But when fall comes, I crave pumpkin. This combination is the best. This is a new scent for 2020 and it has quickly become my favorite. The one in the picture is also my favorite. Goldwick Trimmer – A must have for any candle lover.
Times Harelum Pumpkin Gold Candle
I found this on Amazon and was attracted to the pretty bottle, so I bought it. But the scent is so good! It’s a mix of pumpkin, caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon, and it smells so good. It’s a luxurious, rich scent that’s perfect for fall. Amazon Prime!
Nest Pumpkin Chai
I love the smell of chai and it’s rare to see it in a candle form. The classic pumpkin scent with added cardamom and ginger makes this a lovely candle for everyday use.
Bath & Body Works’ Best Candles for Fall
Bath and Body Works has a wide selection of candles that can be used in any season, but are especially perfect for fall. Their 3-wick candles are some of the best on the market, use essential oils, and burn for up to 40 hours, making them a great deal. Plus, if there’s an issue with the candle you order, they’ll send you a new one right away, no questions asked. I have quite a few Bath and Body Works candles, so it was really hard to narrow it down, but I managed. Here are the best candles:
Sweater Weather
The strong woody and sage scent makes this one of my favorite candles, no matter the season. It makes me want to pull on a chunky knit and curl up with my favorite book. I think this scent would work really well for both men and women, and it’s not too sweet. For me, this candle is a nostalgic candle that makes me dream of the first day of fall, putting on my uniform for school, and watching Friday night football games. Sigh.
Marshmallow Fireside
Is this a winter candle or a fall candle? It doesn’t matter. This candle smells amazing, it’s sweet and smoky and makes you feel like you’re outside. I love this candle so much that I always keep a few on hand, just in case.
I love their marshmallow flavors, they have a marshmallow pumpkin latte scent that comes in creams, sprays, shower gels and I wish they would release it in candles too. Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow I love it too!
leaf
The perfect candle for fall. With its warm, comforting scent of leaves, earthy tones and spices, this candle is a staple for me every season. It’s the perfect candle for cozy fall evenings, with a fresh, yet powerful scent.
Hot cocoa and cream
This candle smells amazing – it really does smell like baking brownies, and is the perfect scent for the transition from fall to winter. Find it here and here.
Perfect Autumn
This is a completely different, lighter fragrance than the ones mentioned above. It’s a great mix and sweet fragrance made with cranberry, spiced pumpkin, clove and apple. This is a great choice as it’s not like the overly sweet fragrances I usually prefer.
flannel
Fall doesn’t always mean pumpkins. This easy-burning candle is rich with bergamot, mahogany, and musk. If you don’t want something too sweet or spicy, this is the perfect choice.
Vanilla beans
If you’re looking for a transitional seasonal scent that combines the sweetness of summer with the richness of autumn, this is the scent for you – we all agree that vanilla is a great scent!
Pumpkin Pecan Waffle
If you love syrupy, sweet scents, this is the scent for you. With a sprinkling of pumpkin spice and brown sugar, this scent will satisfy your sweet tooth.
Paris Cafe
I almost didn’t buy it because I was skeptical about the coffee scent, but I’m so glad I did. The mix of freshly roasted coffee and vanilla makes it one of my favorites. It’s totally different from the others and gives a warm atmosphere to the whole room. It burns easily all year round. I don’t drink much coffee, but this burns very easily. My parents are coffee fanatics and they were very happy when I gifted this to them. I also love the packaging!
Other Fall Scented Candles
There are so many great brands out there, but here are some of my favorites.
Not only is this candle beautiful, but the forest-themed candle has a sensual, woodsy scent with hints of cedar and vanilla – a very clean scent that blends well with other richer scents.
This is definitely a luxury candle ($68!) but it also makes a great gift and has a beautiful scent of berries, roses, and blackcurrant leaves.
This candle is perfect for the transition into autumn with fresh orange blossom, pomegranate and maple leaves, and has a light, airy scent.
The reviews are surprisingly good (4.5 stars out of almost 500 reviews) and the caramel butter, cinnamon and hints of orange and apple create a beautiful aroma.
If you love mason jar candles and fun sayings, there are plenty to choose from here. This shop has great reviews and a great selection of scents. I love Caramel Popcorn!
This old fashioned candle is so pretty (and unique) as is the scent. It’s a hand poured soy wax candle in vintage glass that makes a great gift. It has a rich, earthy scent.
I found this candle on Amazon and it fills the room with mulled cider, making you feel like you’ve just come back from apple picking. It’s a beautiful home fragrance with subtle hints of cranberry and orange. Plus, I love the bottle and the handwritten lettering. These candles are all handmade.
Other candle essentials I love:
– Using a wick trimmer can really help reduce soot, smoke and popping sounds.
Cute Safety Matches – So pretty and perfect to display as is, they come in a chic rustic glass jar and look great on your table.
Candle holder – Sometimes you want to decorate your candles to match the atmosphere of the room. I love this candle holder.
If you love falling leaves, hay rides, apple picking, etc., these scents will make you feel like fall is here. Which one is your favorite?
