REPLICA Autumn Vibes Scented Candle
Replica described its autumnal candle as “woody” and “spicy.” With notes of cedarwood moss, red berries, and cardamom, it’s perfect for those of us that want fall, but not pumpkin.
“Perfect fall candle and I love it because I don’t get that black smokey ring as it burns. You only need to burn a little and the scent lasts for hours,” wrote a reviewer.
“This candle smells so good. It screams fall. It burns evenly, the scent fills the room and stays long after the candle has been put out. This has to be my favorite candle of the season, it set the perfect ambiance and vibes for autumn,” shared a customer.
Bath & Body Works Leaves
Writer Alexa Vazquez says “I live in Los Angeles, so this candle is as close as I’m going to get to changing leaves. It’s got everything I love about fall: notes of warm spices and an apple pie baking in the oven.”
White Barn White Pumpkin
This is classic pumpkin with a modern, spicy twist. It features notes of gingered white pumpkin, caramel glaze, and warm blended spices.
“It’s so basic, I know. But it’s just that nice light hint of fall without getting overpowering,” said Senior Commerce Manager Kate Riley.
Capri Blue Pumpkin Clove Brown Ribbed Glass Candle
I am personally addicted to the smell of this candle. Its cinnamon-y, pumpkin-vanilla (with just a touch of orange?) fragrance screams fall to me. I light it as soon as I get home from work and I just feel cozy and relaxed. Plus, the brown glass feels extremely luxe.

Bath & Body Works Book Loft
This candle went viral on BookTok as the perfect addition to your cozy reading nook. It smells like crisp bergamot, neroli, and cozy woods.
“I absolutely LOVE the Book Loft candle from Bath & Body Works. The scent instantly transports me to a cozy bookstore, curled up with my favorite novel and a steaming cup of coffee. It’s like being wrapped in a soft blanket next to a crackling fire—pure comfort in candle form. The fragrance is rich, warm, and inviting without being overpowering. Perfect for any season, this has become my go-to scent year-round. If you love cozy vibes, this one is a must!” wrote a Bath & Body Works shopper who gave the candle five stars.

Just you and the gentle candlelight,” wrote another.
