We know that pumpkin spice is the quintessential fall scent and flavor. We see it at every coffee shop, candle store, and grocery store aisle. While there’s nothing wrong with loving pumpkin spice, there are numerous other options available, especially when it comes to candle scents.
These alternatives are perfect for the person who simply does not like the fan-favorite pumpkin spice scent or the person with the rare pumpkin allergy. Pumpkins are known to contain proteins similar to ragweed pollen so a person who is allergic to ragweed might also be allergic to pumpkin.
There are a number of other fall candle scent options. Read on for six candle scents, other than pumpkin spice, that are perfect for the fall.
Cinnamon Apple
Fall is the best season for ripe and crisp apples. To truly embrace, try a cinnamon apple candle that blends notes of McIntosh Apple, Cinnamon Spice, and Sweet Vanilla.
Amber
Warm, sensual, and exotic, an amber scented candle is a lightly sweet fragrance that smells musky and rich. It’s a blend of plum accents, tender sage, citrus, and cardamom.
Fig Tree
A great scent for transitioning into fall or any other season, a fig tree candle has a gentle and decadent smell. The fragrance is powerfully sweet, green, and woody.
Spanish Cedar
This woody and smoky scent is a perfect year-round candle fragrance for your home. The blend of the amber, musk, and leather create an amazing peppery and spicy scent.
Tobacco and Patchouli
This fall scent will have you thinking it’s time to rake the leaves! A tobacco and patchouli candle blends tobacco, cinnamon, nutmeg, sandalwood, and more.
Chai
If you love a chai latte or chai tea, you will love a chai-scented candle. It’s the perfect balanced and grounded sweetness.
