What are the best fall candle scents?
Doesn’t everyone want to know? Among my favorite fall candle scents are:
- Cinnamon
- Clove
- Amber
- Harvest Spice
- Apple Cider
- Pumpkin & Persimmon
- Warm Vanilla Sugar
- Sandalwood
- Maple Syrup
- Pumpkin Pie
I like to use all-natural fragrance oils composed of aromatic isolates from nature and essential oils in my fall candles. Like essential oils, they have zero additives. And they do not contain parabens and phthalates. I find them to be an affordable candle making supply. But, no matter your choice, I know these scents make the best fall candles!

Don’t be afraid to look to other ways to enjoy your favorite fall scents too. You can certainly opt for options such as fragrant lavender sachets or stovetop potpourri in your fall decor.
But if you love candlelight as much as I do – make your home smell like autumn with these DIY fall candles!
Creative ideas on how to decorate your farmhouse this fall using candles!
Decorating for fall is always something I look forward to. Gourds and pumpkins handpicked from father’s garden, beeswax dipped preserved fall leaves or those my daughter and I have pressed in our flower presses, acorns and hedge balls we’ve foraged from our woodlands and other natural elements always find their way into our farmhouse fall decor.
But, most of all, I think it’s the aromas of autumn I enjoy most. And you have a lot of options when it comes to incorporating fall candles into your farmhouse decor.
However, if there is one thing I’ve learned to have on-hand for farmhouse decor it’s white candles. They are so versatile and easy to pair with other fall decorating elements (you’ll see what I mean soon). Not to mention, you can reuse them in all your seasonal decor. Let me share these creative ideas for decorating your farmhouse this fall with candles.
