Autumn is often associated with pumpkin and apple aromas, but in my book, maple is also up there in rank. This Maple Pumpkin fragrance smells like “a decadent duo that just feels like fall,” says Bath & Body Works. It has notes of pumpkin spice, sweet maple syrup, and brown sugar.

“This candle ranks at the top of my loves!!! It smells so inviting & gives a great cozy fall feel,” writes one happy shopper.

2. Champagne Apple & Honey

Champagne Apple & Honey smells like an apple orchard in a bottle. It features fragrance notes of crisp apple, sparkling bubbles, and jasmine honey for a touch of sweetness.

“It’s deep and sweet. You can smell every layer and [it] pulls together so beautifully,” per a five-star reviewer. It “makes me want to get out my flannels and uggs drinking apple cider.”

The scent is available as a body cream, shower gel, foaming hand soap, body lotion, and more.

3. Crisp Morning Air

The name speaks for itself. Crisp Morning Air delivers notes of fresh pine, juniper, and juicy pear. It pairs well with a chunky knit sweater and a warm cup of coffee. The scent also comes in the form of hand sanitizer and wallflower plug-ins.

4. Pumpkin Spice Latte

“I sniffed almost every fall candle in the store and this was the one I took home,” says one Bath & Body Works customer. Another reviewer says the scent “smells like fall” and it’s “not too strong, not too light…just perfect.”

Pumpkin Spice Latte has hints of “pumpkin pie spice, freshly brewed espresso, homemade whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar.” In other words, your home will smell like a cozy café.

Speaking of sugary, Bath & Body Works’ Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin smells like your favorite bakery come to life. It’s a combination of harvest pumpkin, spiced clove, and sweet sugarcane.
