We get a lot of flack for not having our fall/autumn candle scents out in late July. We totally understand the desire to jump straight into sweater weather. But as a true Caribbean woman, I just need to take my time. While you're planning your PSL syrup line up, I'm still enjoying a summer margarita! OR three...
These last few weeks have been chillier! So we got it all the way together friends! Here's a break down of the trends that define our New Top 5 Fall/Autumn 2025 candle scents. Trust and believe we've been in the basement huffing these candles because they are SO GOOD!
Even as life feels busy and unpredictable, this season calls us to slow down, gather, and savor simple pleasures. Autumn is about grounding ourselves! Socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Our senses are shifting toward fragrances that capture comfort, ritual, and intention. A candle may not solve the chaos of the world, but it can center us long enough to enjoy the present moment.
#1: Moody & Complex Scents... A Touch of Mystery
As the nights grow longer, there’s a craving for deeper, more mysterious fragrances. Candles that blend musky warmth with a touch of intrigue are trending this season.
Mystic Amber: A dark and layered fragrance that pairs smoky amber and sugar. Blended with hints of rich vanilla and musk. A truly masculine scent with notes of leather and autumn leaves. Earthy undertones bring balance, while subtle spice keeps it alluring...mysterious. The perfect scent for quiet evenings, journaling by candlelight, or creating an atmosphere of calm enchantment.
#2: Trend: Playful & Seasonal Gourmands... Comfort with a Twist
Autumn always brings a love for sweet, cozy scents. But this year, gourmand fragrances are getting bolder! Mixing familiar sweet treats with a hint of the unexpected. Get your sweet tooth ready this fall!
Phantom Pumpkin: A playful reinvention of a pumpkin classic. Notes of creamy pumpkin swirl with toasted spices, smoky vanilla, and crushed cloves. Cozy, nostalgic, with a daring edge that lingers like a ghost at midnight.
Pumpkin Crumble: Sweet and indulgent, this fragrance captures fresh-baked pumpkin dessert topped with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a buttery streusel crumble. Don't forget to make it a la mode! Just as warm and inviting as your grandma's kitchen table.
#3: Trend: Golden Warmth...Capturing Autumn Light
As days shorten, we seek scents that feel like bottled sunlight! Daylight savings really takes things down a notch...especially for people like me with seasonal depression. We're all looking for fragrances that radiate warmth, balance, and optimism.
Golden Hour: A glowing, radiant fragrance that blends honeyed amber with soft citrus and warm woods. It feels like the last rays of sunlight spilling through golden leaves, perfect for cozy gatherings or unwinding after a long day.
#4: Trend: Orchard-Inspired Scents...Earthy & Fruity Elegance
Autumn orchards continue to inspire fragrance lovers who crave a balance of crispness and sweetness. This year, apple scents return with a moodier sophistication. This is hands down our FAVORITE of the bunch!
Crimson Apple: A lush and bold fragrance that pairs ripe apple with dark sweet plums, cherry, clove, vanilla, and cinnamon. Sweet yet refined, this scent evokes twilight walks through an orchard, where crisp air mingles with the warmth of spiced fruit.
Conclusion
As we step into Fall/Autumn 2025, candle trends reflect a desire for warmth, depth, and intentional living. From moody ambers to playful pumpkin desserts and orchard-inspired blends. People are seeking scents that offer not just fragrance, but ritual. A reminder to slow down, embrace stillness, and celebrate the richness of the season. This fall, may your candles spark comfort, mystery, and golden light in every corner of your home!
