Great smelling candles on Amazon to fill your home (and nose) with fall

After a sweltering summer, fall has finally arrived. For many, that means it's time to create an autumnal ambience at home. One of the simplest ways to set the tone for this season is by lighting a few scented candles.

There are a wide variety of candles on the market, from large candles with long burn times that provide a signature scent all through autumn, to more niche fragrances that are best lit on special occasions. A decorative jar can make a statement on your mantel during a special occasion, while an unassuming mason jar-style holder can blend right in with your everyday home decor. A seasonally appropriate scented candle, such as spiced pumpkin or balsam fir, is a fantastic way to craft that fall feeling in your home (and nose).

When it comes to selecting a scented candle, there are two personal preferences that are important to prioritize: wax and smell. Soy wax generally has a longer burn time, while paraffin wax is known to produce a more pungent smell as it melts. It's hard to go wrong with common seasonal scents such as salted caramel or pine birchwood, but for a more distinctive aroma this autumn, try going for a more unexpected option, such as whiskey caramel or wood smoke.

Whatever it is that you're searching for in a candle, there's one out there that will light your fire. Here are 10 great smelling candles on Amazon to fill your home (and nose) with fall.
