The end of summer is bittersweet, but even though we're saying goodbye to those sunny days and beach weekends, let's not forget that there's a whole lot to look forward to as we usher in fall. There's a reason autumn is the most Pinterest-perfect season of all, so let's take a moment to appreciate sweater weather, leaf crunching, apple cider and all things pumpkin spice.

There's nothing like those first few crisp fall days, when all you want to do is go to a pumpkin patch and watch anything Nora Ephron on repeat, and what better way to get into the true autumnal mood than by lighting a candle that perfectly encapsulates the coziest time of year? The best fall candles are comforting and warm, filling your home with the best aspects of autumn, whether you're a PSL fan through and through, or perhaps more of a cinnamon roll vibe. There are apple cider aromas, vanilla bougies and chai bouquets, as well as crisp woodsy options and everything in between, all of which are perfect to light while you cozy up by the fire. Don't fret if you're not sure where to start, because we've done the hard work for you. Below, see the best fall candles to shop now.
