Discover the Coziest Fall Candles to Burn All Season Long

The end of summer is bittersweet, but knowing that fall coziness is just around the corner does help soften the blow. Yes, it’s time to bid adieu to sunny days and beach weekends, but this is the onset of the most Pinterest-perfect season of the year—from sweater weather and leaf-crunching to apple cider and all things pumpkin spice. There’s nothing like those first few crisp fall days, when all you want to do is go to a pumpkin patch, munch on some apple cinnamon doughnuts and watch anything Nora Ephron ever put out into the world on repeat. It’s not basic—it’s *fall.*

We know that the 17th rewatch of You’ve Got Mail might have you pining away for Kathleen Kelly’s effortlessly charming Upper West Side apartment. Alas, while the dream of a ’90s heroine’s endearingly chaotic abode (in pre-war doorman-building, of course, and paid for by a career that somehow only requires her to work for approximately three minutes) might be out of reach, you can still bring on all the cozy fall vibes at home—no StreetEasy doomscrolling required. Instead, consider lighting up an utterly delicious autumn candle to get right into that fall mood.

Yes, there are some people out there who somehow manage to keep that box of autumnal decor neatly stowed, switching out fresh pillows, blankets and knickknacks as the seasons change. But for those who don’t whip out the pumpkins and flannel the moment Labor Day ends (and who simply don’t have the attention span or the storage space for a total fall decor overhaul), a chic candle does the trick. Because really, what better way to get into the autumnal mood than by lighting a candle that encapsulates the coziest time of year?

The best fall candles are comforting and warm, filling your home with the best parts of autumn. We know that scent is subjective, which is why we’ve done the hard work and found an assortment of fall candles for every fragrance preference. Maybe you’re a PSL fan through and through, or perhaps more of a cinnamon roll vibe. What about apple cider aromas, vanilla bougies, chai bouquets and crisp woodsy options? Welcome in the season of Practical Magic with the best fall candles.
