15 Warm & Cozy Candles That Are Perfect For Fall
Hello, pumpkin spiced everything.
As the first whispers of autumn drift in, nothing beats the comfort of cradling a hot apple cider by a crackling fire to get you in that cozy mood.
While the sight of changing leaves and the sound of crunching footsteps signal the season’s arrival, it’s those unmistakable scents — like memory-inducing pumpkin, spiced cinnamon, and warmly delicious gourmands — that truly swathe you in fall’s embrace, making you want to slip into your toastiest sweater.
This time of year, the right candle can do more than just light up a room — it can conjure the very essence of the season, setting the stage for all the cuddle-worthy moments to come.
For many, strolling the aisles of Bath & Body Works and picking up each fall-inspired scent is a sign of summer’s end, but countless other candle brands offer home aromas that are just as decadent.
Maison Margiela’s REPLICA collection is like luxury in a jar, with their By The Fireplace Candle an embodiment of those comforting evenings spent nestled underneath a blanket. Nomad Noé, too, creates impossibly lush scents, with Dreamer in London a reminder of that crisp autumn air.
Shop those candles — and others — that are perfect for the upcoming season below.
