Get ready to welcome fall with these new and bestselling comfort scents, including apple spice, sandalwood and, of course, pumpkin.
Summer is wonderful, but when Labor Day passes, it's time to celebrate the end of heatwaves and get excited about the upcoming season.
While pumpkin spice lattes may get all the glory, there are so many other ways to usher in autumn. The first days of September are perfect for moving past summer's sun-filled days and embracing everything cozy about fall. One surefire way is to change the scent of your home with new candles. Summer's sparkling citrus and beachy scents are packed away, making room for notes of amber, wild berries or apple spice.
Treating yourself to new fall candles is a simple way to create an autumn ambiance (and a form of self care). Whether you love mainstays like Yankee Candle and Bath and Body Works or have fallen for Apotheke and Harlem Candle Company, we empathize if you want them all. Now is also the time to shop limited-edition Halloween candles before they are gone.
To get the most from your candle investments, the first time you light them, let the wax puddle cover the entire candle surface for more even future melts, and don't forget to trim the wicks. With proper care, these scents may trigger happy memories and have you saying things like "sweater weather" before you know it.
Below, we found the new and best fall candles for autumn 2024.
