If there is one thing in this world that I have more passion for than anything else, it is autumn-themed candles, more specifically the ones from Bath and Body Works! My two favorite things of all (autumn + candles) wrapped together in one sweet-smelling bundle. Here are my top 5 favorite fall candle scents from B&BW!
- Pumpkin Spice Latte

This one is a classic, what more can I say?
- Pumpkin Pecan Waffles

This one is so nostalgic for me! When I first started developing my obsession with autumn during my freshman year of high school, this was my go-to candle! My only critique is that it has a very strong and sweet smell, which is something I used to love but have grown out of over the years. However, it is still a great scent if you love pumpkin smells.

One of my favorite smells ever is the smell of apples! This one is a perfect mix of pumpkin and apple. If you are not a fan of “spicy” smells (as in too much cinnamon, cloves, etc) this one is great. It is also not too sweet. Overall a great candle.

Upon first thought, this was not really a “fall” candle to me. I used to consider it more of a Christmas smell (I still believe it’s perfect for both and I keep this one lit all throughout November to December). However, when thinking of Thanksgiving and sweet cranberry sauce, this is definitely a staple for the fall. It has a sugary smell, but it’s not too overpowering.

How do I even begin to describe this candle? If I had a choice, I could write a Master’s level dissertation about this candle. As the name implies, it smells like sweet and gooey toasted marshmallows. The word “fireside” in the name is no joke, you can seriously smell a campfire. It’s the perfect mix of sweet and not-too-sweet. The thought of a candle that smells like burning wood might not sound too appealing, but it is not too strong of a burnt smell. It’s sweet with a hint of smoky and gives me all the fall vibes! I keep this lit from the moment B&BW releases it in their fall lineup every year until I have burnt my last one and am no longer able to buy it because it goes out of season. Having this burning while sitting on the couch wrapped in a fuzzy blanket sipping hot chocolate is how I want to spend all day every day of my fall season. I cannot say enough good things about this candle. Please do yourself a favor and buy it.
- Honorable mention: Salted Caramel Apple

I wanted to include this candle because not only have I been burning it this whole month, but I know B&BW is for sure not the most affordable and can be unreasonable for struggling college students like myself. If you cannot afford to splurge on a $20+ candle this year (like I have not been fortunate enough to quite yet; thanks, tuition) this line of candles is currently at Michael’s craft store at 3 for $10, an amazing deal and they smell amazing!
