Confession: We get super excited this time of the year. No, it’s not because of pumpkin recipes, pumpkin patches or Halloween costumes—though, those are pretty awesome, too. We’re talking about new fall candles that fill our homes with warmth and comfort. Essentially, we’re self-professed candle addicts who always find ourselves asking: Can you ever have too many candles? And this season’s newest crop answers our question with a resounding no!
That’s why we rounded up a few of our favorites (some pricey, others not so much) that are really worth it. We promise you’ll burn them all season, and then buy 10 more.
Thank us now or later. Just be sure to consider your fall season lit!

P.F. Candle Co. No. 32 Sandalwood Rose
Sandalwood rose is a take on the sweet-smelling florals we love so much, with just enough edge to make the fragrance unisex. It's quite possibly the best two-for-one you'll encounter all season.

Byredo Chai
This new Byredo candle is a tribute to the tea ritual of the Indian subcontinent, but really, it's a warm smell closely tied to the memories of the founder's grandmother's home. One whiff of the mix of ginger zest, clove bud, and cardamom and you'll be transported, too.

Voluspa Goji Tarocco Orange 3 Wick Candle
This scent isn't new. In fact, it's been a member of the Voluspa family for some time now, but we love that the ornate tin features Japanese-inspired art that matches almost any decor. Plus, the notes of goji berry, mango and tarocco orange match almost any season.

TAJA Collection Plain Monogram Candle
Not only can you customize the candle jar, and inside and outside of the lid, but you can add your special touch to the scent, too. We love the flora High Tea fragrance, but try Spiked Cider or Aspen Highlands for a unique winter-inspired scent.
