Here’s what to burn this season.
It’s finally fall — which means it’s officially time to pack away your Barbiecore-hued pink bikinis and crochet coverups, and replace them with chic turtlenecks, leather jackets, and on-trend statement loafers. What’s more: It’s that time of year where it’s socially acceptable to burn *all* of the fall-scented candles and stream horror movies all day long. Major win for all the autumn-loving girlies (myself included).
While summer scents are often associated with luxe travel destinations and juicy, tropical fruits — fall candles are all about cozying up indoors and embracing more comforting notes like spiced clove, nostalgia-inducing cinnamon, the sweetest pumpkin spiced lattes, and warm vanilla.
Bustle has already rounded up 19 perfumes that are basically autumn in a bottle. If you want to make your home smell just as great, here are the best-smelling fall candles that you’ll want to burn during the cooler months in 2022. Anyone else very much ready for bundling up under massive weighted blankets on the couch and binge watching nostalgic Halloween movies?
