There are few things that make a home feel as inviting as fall candles. No disrespect, but we're not talking about those basic candles you pick up at the grocery store or pharmacy. No, our taste is more sophisticated. We want something just as complex as our autumnal perfumes. Which is why we've compiled the most illuminating and intoxicating Fall 2024 candles into one handy list.
You won't find any pumpkin, however. Instead, we're focusing on often overlooked fruits and vegetables this season. From beetroot to plums to blackberries and even black currants, it's amazing how many delicious aromas are out there. Base notes are important with different woods and musks perfectly finishing off these luxurious fragrances.
Here are the best Fall 2024 candles to treat yourself and your home to.
Loewe Small Beetroot Candle, $110 at Bergdorf Goodman
Who knew a candle scented with beetroot essence could be so delightful? This high-intensity fragrance boasts a fruity scent that reveals delicate sweet notes once lit. Plus, the glazed terracotta vessel with stamped base doubles as decor.
D.S. & Durga Breakfast Highlands Candle, $70 at D.S. & Durga
We're big fans of D.S. & Durga's aromas and that includes the ones in its candles. Take Breakfast Highlands, which features notes of scotch marmalade, oats, heather honey, biscuits, strong tea, toast, hay absolute, smoked things and gorse. Basically, the best breakfast you've ever enjoyed.
Dreamour Sweet Vinyl Candle, $115 at Dreamour
Vinyl will never go out of style, when it comes to records or this aroma. Bergamot, mandarin and incense harmonize with vetiver, cypriol, leather, amber, cedar and musk. The wavy glass vessel is a big bonus.
Piecework Dangerous Mood Candle, $36 at Revolve
There's nothing dangerous about this fragrant candle. Bergamot, bayberry, clove and thyme play nicely with middle notes of rose, cade oil, olibanum along with amber. Dry-down notes of cedarwood and patchouli supply a strong finish.
NEST New York Autumn Plum 3-Wick Candle, $87 at NEST New York
Forget pumpkin spice. This fall we're all about wild plum. Especially when it's highlighted by the woody aroma of freshly fallen leaves, cinnamon, patchouli leaf and kashmir wood.
Maison Margiela REPLICA Lazy Sunday Morning Scented Candle, $70 at Sephora
Maison Margiela managed to personify sleeping in on Sunday morning in candle form. The warm and spicy aroma screams fall with hints of lily of the valley, iris, patchouli and white musk.

If you've ever dreamed in technicolor, this scented candle has you written all over it. The rich woods and sensual florals elevate it to a whole other dimension. It opens with coconut water, cardamom and black pepper before diverging into essences of fig leaves, jasmine petals, lily of the valley and suede. It rounds things out with ambroxan, sandalwood, cedarwood and salted musks.
Diptyque Paris Cannelle (Cinnamon) Classic Candle, $74 at Diptyque Paris
This pick has a bit of a split personality. It can be woody and spicy or delectably warm, mirroring the aroma of cinnamon bark straight from the tree. The burn time is around 50 hours so you'll be able to relish the fragrance for a long, long time.
Tom Ford Ebene Fume Candle, $140 at Sephora
Tom Ford's candles are just as legendary as its perfumes. This blends Palo Santo wood with ebony wood, cistus absolute, black pepper and rose. The vessel's pretty sexy, too.
