Florals aren't just for spring! If you still want a fresh, flowery scent at home no matter the season, try this candle that exudes a floral fragrance of freesia, sage, jasmine, balsam and redwood. $36, Agraria Home.

Byredo Bohemia
This candle is a love letter to wandering, which we appreciate more than ever since so many of us are currently unable to explore the world as much as we might like to right now. Give yourself a little bouquet of wanderlust when you light this scent of rum, geranium, rosemary, vanilla, sandalwood and oak moss. $85, Byredo.

We could all use a little zen right now, and this candle is all about wellness and air purification, with a blend of sage, ylang ylang, clove and basil essential oils. $36, House of Linnic.

Arhaus Fig Vetiver
This handpoured candle smells of red currant, grapefruit, raspberry, fig and rose petals, with jasmine, rhubarb and vetiver that's complemented by notes of vanilla, musk and oak moss to make it a little more autumnal. $62.10, Arhaus.

Malin + Goetz Leather
Lighting this fragrance is like curling up in a favorite leather armchair, with a buttery mixture of lotus flower, clove, wood, orchid, violet, cedarwood, amber, cashmere musk and, of course, leather. $55, Malin + Goetz.

DW Home Sea Salted Pumpkin
It's not fall without pumpkin, and we're kind of obsessed with this delicious mix of pumpkin with sea salt, molasses, caramel praline, brown sugar and vanilla cream. $16, DW Home.

Diptyque Paris Vanille
Diptyque's vanilla-y musk candle is a year-round classic, but there's something about the buttery aroma that's extra fitting for autumn. $68, Diptyque Paris.

Fvith October
If the name wasn't enough to convince you this is fall in a candle, just wait until you experience the aroma of agarwood, leather, sage and blackberry. $45, Fvith.

Bastide Miel de Lavande
We can't resist a lovely honey-lavender scent, which is just so calming. $65, Bastide.

Linnea's Lights Embers
Even if you don't have a fireplace at home, you'll still feel like you're having the coziest hearth-side moment when you light this cedar, clove and leather scent. $34, Linnea's Lights.

If you're going for an at-home spa vibe (and let's be honest, who doesn't want that right now?), light up this relaxing votive, for a soothing aroma of green eucalyptus leaf, juniper berry and citrus. $14, Allswell.

Boy Smells Neopêche
A dreamy, floral-tinged fragrance with pink peppercorn, rose, mandarin, peach, amber and oak moss in a shimmery pink vessel. $39, Boy Smells.

A24 x Joya Horror Genre
This is part of A24 Films' six-candle collab with Joya; the Horror votive is inspired by lakeside cabins and shadows, but don't worry, the scent of mandarin, glove lead, cypress, suede and cinnamon bark isn't scary at all. $48, A24.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540
Maison Francis Kurkdijan really went all out on the most luxurious of candles with their collab with Baccarat. It's a glamorous fragrance of jasmine, saffron, cedar wood and ambergris (grey amber). $110, Neiman Marcus.

Otherland Cardamom Milk
This limited-edition Otherland collection is inspired by a New England fall, and while all the scents are very autumnal, we're partial to this aroma of froth milk, cardamom and praline. $36, Otherland.

A refreshing bergamot fragrance in a charming ceramic vessel. $34, UpWest.
