1. A "Mahogany Apple" Bath & Body Works candle that TikTok claims smells like Harry Potter's Draco Malfoy — whether you're a Slytherin or you haven't seen a single film or read the books...it's a divine candle you'll want in your collection.
2. A WoodWick candle to bring the crackling, soothing sounds of an actual fire into your life in case you live in an apartment that simply isn't conducive to a fireplace.
3. A candle in honor of autumn for anyone who appreciates nothing more than the seasonal scent of pumpkin spice lingering through their home.
4. Or a more earthy option you'll appreciate if you prefer woodsy scents and *~all things spooky~* for fall.
5. A "warm and cozy" candle, because the name of the scent alone sounds like it’ll wrap you up in a plush throw blanket and direct you to the couch to have the most snuggly movie marathon of your life.
6. A lavender and Earl Grey Paddywax candle that'll remind you of snuggling up with a warm cup of tea on a cold winter day.
7. A magical candle from Wishes Candle Co. complete with a surprise enamel pin inside you can add to your ever-growing Disney collection.
8. A "Cheugy and Proud" candle that'll make you laugh every time you light it. It's a must for anyone who is tired of their younger sibling teasing them about their likes/dislikes/age and especially their love of all-things-autumn.
9. A festive Homesick candle to remind to remind you of all the fun things autumn has to offer — like trying to find the *perfect* pumpkin in the entire patch while wearing the cutest flannel you own.
10. Or an apple-scented Yankee Candle, in case you'd prefer to spend your fall in an orchard or whipping up fresh apple pies.
11. An absolutely gorgeous glass candle covered with foliage that'll ensure your home always feels like autumn even if the weather hasn't quite cooperated just yet.
12. Votivo's Red Currant candle, a must-have for anyone who wants their living room to smell seasonal but isn't into woodsy or sweet, pumpkin-like scents.
13. A spiced pumpkin latte candle from Volupsa in a beautiful jar you'll happily display alongside all the other festive trinkets you tend to put out for fall.
14. An Otherland candle with a scent that's as fantastic as the designs of its jar — you'll likely find yourself buying multiples because it's so beautiful (guilty).
15. A Gilmore Girls Fall Festival candle with a scent you can customize exactly to your liking — perfect for anyone who wants to embrace the season but detests typical autumnal scents.
16. A three-wick candle with a wallpaper-like design around it to get you more excited than ever to cozy up and watch a movie at home.
17. A candle loosely themed around Sabrina the Teenage Witch you won't be able to stop yourself from adding to your cart — the design of the jar and the patchouli and bergamot scents are just too good to leave behind!
18. A limited-edition "Trick or Treat" candle that'll honestly just be a treat for your nostrils and fill your home with the smells of coconut, orange, and pumpkin.
19. A patchouli-scented "Witches Brew" candle from Yankee Candle you can count on to perfectly coordinate with the endless loop of Hocus Pocus that plays throughout your home from September 1st through October 31st.
20. A flannel-inspired soy candle you'll likely love as much as the worn-in, super-soft, oversized flannel you've been wearing season after season. I can't think of anything more enticing, TBH.
21. A candle collaboration between Boy Smells and Kacey Musgraves featuring a warm and spicy scent that'll pair nicely with the chilly fall and winter weather — and even more so with Kacey's upcoming album.
22. A delicious candle with a design around it you'd expect to find inside Alice's Wonderland — don't even get me *started* on how magical it smells. It smells like stumbling into your favorite storybook for an afternoon.
23. A Taylor Swift–inspired "All Too Well" candle that'll be there to console you while you're crying on the floor over the re-recording of Red when it comes out in November.
24. A cinnamon and pumpkin–scented candle in the cutest jar you ever did see! It'll be a lovely addition to your home's fall vibe even when it's not lit.
25. A pretty candle inspired by cozy nights you can keep on your bedside table to introduce the soothing scents of tobacco, bergamot, and caramel into your evening routine.
26. A Capri Blue jar candle with speckled gold detailing and a lovely pumpkin cove scent you'll want to enjoy all year long instead of just autumn.
27. An amber and moss candle from P.F. Candle Co. you'll probably want to buy five of so you'll never run out of it! Seriously — it's that great.
28. An autumn-inspired candle unlike any other one in your lineup — this baby includes citrus, cinnamon, chrysanthemum, apple, berry, green leaves, pecan, AND cedar. It's gotta be a 10/10.
29. And a ghostly candle that I hope doesn't describe your dating life (apologies if it does). It will definitely be way more enjoyable than that crappy restaurant your last Tinder match asked you to meet them at the way-too-late hour of 10 p.m. (ON A WEEKNIGHT!). Might as well stay home with your candles instead.
