Sydney Hale Co. Bourbon & Brown Sugar
$32; redbarnmercantile.com
Definitely the most seasonally appropriate candle on this list, the comforting mix of double-oaked bourbon and salted brown sugar caramel smells like warm evenings spent curled by the fire with family.
Paddywax Fresh Fig & Cardamom
$20; $20; paddywax.com
If you are in search of a distinct or signature scent for your home, Paddywax’s food-inspired offering might be your best bet. The spicy blend is hard to characterize, which is perfect for those looking to stand out.
P.F. Candle Co. Amber & Moss Candle
$18; pfcandleco.com
It’s not just the earthy-yet-sweet mix of damp forest, lavender, sage and orange that causes this scent to be universally appealing. The utilitarian design of the candle makes it easy to blend in with shared space.
Archipelago Black Forest Candle
$15; archipelago-usa.com
The perfect design for a man cave, this Black Forest candle is a heady mix of ebony wood and Douglas fir with a hint of black currant. The result is a strong scent that quickly fills a room (and overpowers any offensive odors).
Capri Blue Volcano Candle
$21.95; capribluecandles.com
Volcano isn’t necessarily a fragrance billed for fall—think notes of tropical fruit and sugared citrus—but it’s a warm scent that is light enough to burn every day without overpowering the room.
