Best Fall Scents for Your Candles

popular fall candle scents

What do you think about when you hear the word “fall”? For me, it absolutely has to be the sound of leaves crunching beneath your boots as you walk down the sidewalk. I know, it might sound a little like a Hallmark movie, but it’s what comes to my mind. Fall is my absolute favorite season. Not only for the beautiful colors and cooler weather but for some of the best-scented candles that accompany it.

Pumpkin spice, vanilla, fruity, and earthy scents. These are all scents that come to mind when I think of autumn. In this article, I’m sharing some of the best fall scents for your candles from our wonderful friends at CandleScience so you can bring a little fall to your candle line or into your home.
