Fall is officially the start of candle season, and it’s time for a blast of some amazing scents from all kinds of candle companies. Small mom-and-pop shops, market pop ups, and mass producers create a wealth of warm, wonderful fragrances for us to enjoy. But what are some of the best fall candles you ask? Well we put our heads (and noses) together each year to come up with some of our must-have fall fragrances. Browse below & let us know your thoughts!

This fall gem is from the affordable luxury candle brand, Voluspa. They have a number of great fall scents, but we think Baltic Amber rises to the top. It’s warm…it’s comforting…and the candle vessel is stunning. This candle screams Fall. What more could you want?

NEST

Pumpkin Chai

Sure…we know that Pumpkin Chai from NEST Fragrances might be a little cliché. After all, it is on just about every list of best fall candles you can find. But it’s there for a reason, guys. This candle is FABULOUS and it seems to last forever. This is not a foodie pumpkin scent, but more of a warm, spicy scent. It’s hard to describe…just know that it’s all about fall, and it’s fantastic.

Floral fans, have no fear. While thinking of the best fall candles you generally don’t consider florals, there are still plenty in this category that would fit the bill. For instance, the lovely Vanilla Fleur from Soap & Paper Factory. This scent is warm and sensual, with just enough of the floral orchid notes shining through to give it a bit of a fall twist. It’s soothing and it’s fabulous.

Thymes

Pumpkin Heirloom held us captive year after year. This year, there’s a new pumpkin in town, and it’s the rich, sultry Pumpkin Laurel. It’s a mouthwatering scent that fills the air and makes our homes all warm and cozy. The best pumpkin scent ever? We think so!

Malin and Goetz

Dark Rum

Malin & Goetz Dark Rum Candle
Dark rum is a refreshing reinvention of a traditionally dark and spicy aroma. sweetened with ripe plum and crisp bergamot, notes of leather, rum and creamy milk are blended into an intoxicating mix. Photo credit: Malin & Goetz
Several of the Malin + Goetz candles are great fall candles, but we think Dark Rum is near the top of the list. The bergamot and leather blend beautifully to wrap you in warmth with the brightbess of plum giving you a sense of inner peace. It’s a rich, deep fragrance that we break out at the first sign of Fall.
Shop Malin and Goetz

Harlem Candle Company

Speakeasy

It opens with notes of cardamom, smoked incense, bourbon and pimento berry. A dramatic heart of golden saffron, licorice, plum blossom and tobacco leaves evolves beautifully to a warm, sensual base of aromatic Palo Santo and patchouli. Creamy vanilla and dark chocolate add a gourmand nuance to this highly addictive blend. Photo credit: Harlem Candle Company
Another best fall candle is Speakeasy from Harlam Candle Company. This fragrance is really heavy and yet soothing. It is earthy with surprising chocolate and berry notes that keep the nose entertained.
