Best Fall Scents List

In no particular order, the scents below are our favorites to celebrate the new season. So whether you’re looking for the perfect candle to light when watching football or looking for a unique fall scent to wow your guests with at your next dinner party, we carry it all. 

Candy Corn

Not only is this scent the most traditional fall candy, but it makes a delightful fall candle as well. You may not have ever smelled the tasty treat before, but we love the fragrance. Candy corn is full of the sweet notes of vanilla along with hints of almond.

Pumpkin Pie

Up first on our fall scents list is Pumpkin Pie. Spicy and sweet with nutmeg and cloves, this scent is a traditional fall favorite. If you want to create a candle on the sweeter side, we recommend combining vanilla with pumpkin pie. Maybe you’re looking to spice up the pumpkin pie scent. Try mulled cider, pumpkin spice, and pumpkin pie for the ultimate fall candle. 

Cinnamon Roll

Speaking of sweet smells, what better candle to light in the morning than cinnamon roll? In fact, this fragrance is so good; we light our candles with cinnamon roll at all times of the day. Balance out the sweetness of the scent with flannel, an upcoming scent we discuss on our list of the best fall scents. 

Oakmoss

Oakmoss is an earthy and woodsy scent. We love pairing oakmoss with a few of our floral scents to balance out the two contrasting scents. This fall scent transports you to an enchanted forest and has a bright, green aroma with slight notes of amber and musk.

Hazelnut

Hazelnut is a popular fall scent for a reason. Hazelnut has a wide variety of uses, including medicine, food, and aromatherapy. Embers Candle Bar loves hazelnut in candles, and we know you will too. This nutty scent is perfection with cedar, sandalwood, or oakmoss.

Fallen Leaves

Our fallen leaves scent is like receiving a big fall hug. Fallen leaves carry scents of cinnamon, apples, and berries while also having pecan and cedar at the core of the aroma. Combine fallen leaves with a variety of our fall scents, including sandalwood or pumpkin pie, and you’re in for a fall treat every time you light your custom candle.

Fraser Fir

One of our more unique fall scents is Fraser fir. Native to the Appalachian Mountains, this Christmas Tree scent takes you right into the holiday season. Fraser fir is one of our most cozy scents and carries mild citrus notes and an earthy and woodsy core aroma.  

Brown Sugar & Fig

Brown sugar and fig is a romantic fall fragrance. Sugar, fig, and sea salt are the first aromas that will catch your “nose,” and after the initial essence of brown sugar and fig, you will start to smell dark musk and amber. 

Pumpkin Spice

If the sweet pumpkin scents are not your favorite, pumpkin spice is the fragrance for you. There is a toasty element to pumpkin spice, and along with the pumpkin scent, you will get waves of smoke, vanilla, and cinnamon. 

Oatmeal & Honey

Next on our list of the best fall scents are oatmeal and honey. This comforting fragrance is a crowd-favorite. With the soothing aroma of fresh honey, almond, and vanilla, we love pairing oatmeal and honey with any of our more woodsy scents like fallen leaves, Fraser fir, and oakmoss. 

Cranberry Harvest

One of our most tart fall scents is the cranberry harvest. However, cranberry harvest is more than just a tart scent. It has the perfect blend of cranberry, raspberry, salt, and nuts. Combine cranberry harvest with the warm aromas of brown sugar & fig, and get ready for a delicious-smelling autumn candle. 

Flannel

Flannel is a scent that is perfect for the entire family. Even the men in your life will want to light this candle throughout the fall season. Flannel is a comforting blend of bergamot, mahogany, and musk.

Roasted Marshmallow

If roasting marshmallows by the fire with a cozy blanket is your ideal way to spend an autumn night, then this scent is for you. Roasted marshmallow smells exactly how it sounds with aromas of melted butter mixed with vanilla, tonka beans, and a pile of toasted marshmallows.

Mulled Cider

Mulled cider is a blend of citrus, apple, orange, cinnamon, and musk. This delightful fall aroma is so good for mixing with a variety of other scents, including hazelnut and cinnamon roll.
