These Pumpkin-Scented Candles Smell as Great as Freshly Baked Pie
These Pumpkin-Scented Candles Smell as Great as Freshly Baked Pie
Imagine stepping on crunchy, colorful leaves at a fun fall festival, oohing and aahing over intricately carved jack-o'-lanterns at your local Halloween celebration, and enjoying a (spiked) pumpkin spiced latte while exploring your neighborhood farmer's market. What's better than that? Almost nothing—except being able to enjoy the best of autumn from the comfort of your couch.
To help you do just that, we've gathered the coziest, most inviting, and best smelling pumpkin-scented candles out there. Some of our fragrant fall candles will last all season long (one even has a 100-hour burn time!), while other pillars are perfect for putting on display right before Halloween (do not miss: the delightful Anthropologie set). Some votives are made from organic soy, while other scented options are crafted with coconut, paraffin, or beeswax. And some of our choices err on the sweet side (thanks to notes of vanilla, brown sugar, cream, and caramel), while others are particularly spicy (think: ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and chai). But no matter what you choose, all of our luxurious picks will fill your home with the warm, inviting, and downright delicious aroma of freshly baked pumpkin pie.
Ahead, the best pumpkin candles—including several highly-rated Amazon options, a striking scent from Walmart, and beloved bestsellers from brands like Nest, Voluspa, and Bath & Body Works—to stock up on this season.
