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!

Baltic Amber

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 Laurel

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!

Bath and Body Works

Leaves

Bath & Body Works Leaves Candle
What it smells like: spiced, fruity and oh-so cozy (basically everything you love about fall). Fragrance notes: crisp red apple, golden nectar and warm clove spice. Photo credit: Bath & Body Works
This returning favorite from Bath & Body Works just screams fall to us. It is like warm apple pie filling without being a bakery scent. It is warm, strong, and deliciously good. A favorite in our home year ’round!

6

Southern Elegance

Sweet Potato & Brown Sugar

Southern Elegance Sweet Potato & Brown Sugar Candle
When Grandma isn’t around to make the perfect sweet potato pie, this candle will give you all the feels without the calories. With aromas of Sweet Potatoes, Creamy Butter blended with Vanilla, Nutmeg, Pecan, and Cinnamon, your home will smell like a freshly baked pie. Photo credit: Southern Elegance
Southern Elegance is all about the South and it doesn’t get more southern than delicious sweet potatoes with brown sugar…it’s a dessert disguised as a vegetable! The warm deliciousness of this candle is perfect to wrap you in warmth all season long.

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.

8

Harlem Candle Company

Speakeasy

Harlem Candle Company Speakeasy Candle
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.

DW Home

Maple Pecan Blondie

Foodie scents are perfect for the Fall and Maple Pecan Blondie is truly divine. It is thick and rich and oh…such an excellent thrower! This is a fragrance we just can’t get enough of.

DS and Durga

Portable Fireplace

DS & Durga Portable Fireplace Candle

As the nights chill, you don’t have to worry if you don’t have a fireplace. Pull out Portable Fireplace from DS & Durga and bam…you’re set! We don’t know how they do it, but this candle smells just like a warm fireplace dead smack in the middle of winter.

Le Labo

Santal 26

Le Labo Santal 26 Candle

Santal 26 is a classic from Le Labo and, really, is an excellent candle any time of the year. But it makes our best fall candle list for a reason…it’s deep, smoky goodness is a welcome treat on those chilly nights. Perfection!
And that, our candle loving friends, completes our list of 11 best fall scented candles for 2024. We chose a variety of styles and prices to fit all budgets and tastes. We love them all and we hope you find a new one (or two…or three) to enjoy!
