The Ultimate Fall Candle Guide

Nothing gets me in the fall spirit quite like a new candle. I’ve been guilty of burning my pumpkin candles in August and it’s the perfect way to welcome the new season. From pumpkin chai to apple spice, these scents are the perfect way to embrace fall. And thanks to you guys, I included some of your top recommendations.

My college roommates are coming in town tomorrow and we head to Waco on Saturday. The Magnolia Fall candle is on my list to pick up while we are there.

If we left off your favorite, please comment below so we can add it to the list! xx Ashley 

10 Fall Candles Worth Trying This Season 

NEST- PUMPKIN CHAI  

You guys know I am a big fan of NEST Fragrances (their holiday candles are some of the best)! This one brings a comforting blend of wild pumpkin and spicy masala chai — so yummy! I currently have this one burning in my kitchen and before I even lit the candle, the room already smelled like pumpkin spice. Highly recommend this one!

  TYLER CANDLE CO.- PUMPKIN SPICE  

Have you tried Tyler Candles? My roommates and I in college would buy these and we loved Pumpkin Spice. It’s truly a classic fall scent.

TYLER CANDLE CO.- WARM SUGAR COOKIE   

This is the candle I used to burn when I was in college…anytime I burn it I instantly feel nostalgic and it takes me back to my college years! Austin isn’t so crazy about it — he gets disappointed to find out I did in fact not make cookies. Sorry babe!

 VOLUSPA- BALTIC AMBER  

This is not your traditional “fall scent”, but it is warm and spicy. If pumpkin isn’t your thing, you may want to check out this one.

 TRADER JOES- SOY VANILLA 

Trader Joe’s has yet to fail me, can’t wait to try this one out!

  CAPRI BLUE PUMPKIN CLOVE   

You know the blue Anthropologie candles that everyone loves? They have a line of fall and holiday scents! This one was a top pick when I surveyed on Instagram stories. My friend Jill said Blue Pumpkin Dulce is also really good.

 BATH & BODY WORKS- LEAVES 

Bath & Body works is the mother of all things fragrance related. I have this one burning in my office!

  BATH & BODY WORKS – SWEET CINNAMON PUMPKIN

This is a great option if you like pumpkin, but don’t want anything too overpowering.

 BATH & BODY WORKS- SWEATER WEATHER 

I have personally never tried this but between DMs and comments, we had about 50+ recommend this one as their number one choice!

 ILLUME- RUSTIC PUMPKIN  

When I worked at the beauty salon many years ago (high school, summers in college and when I was teaching) we sold Illume candles. We couldn’t keep them on the shelves they were so good. Although I have never personally tried this specific scent, I can speak to the quality of this brand. The Rustic Pumpkin scent was highly recommended by a few of my followers on Instagram!

    My go-tos are Williams Sonoma and Aromatique. WS has a new scent this year “Mulled Cider” that I am obsessed with. They also have a pumpkin spice. I already bought the winter green too! I usually stock up when they have a sale. Aromatique’s “Cinnamon Cider” has been a staple in our household for years!
