How to Make Your Home Smell Like Fall with Candle Stork

Every autumn lover knows that fall is more than a season—it’s an invitation to settle back into routine, indulge in warming recipes and huddle under your softest blankets. This year, elevate your autumn ritual with Candle Stork’s Autumn Collection candles and beeswax melts. Follow our guide to infuse every corner of your home with the unmistakable aromas of crisp leaves, warming spices, and cozy harvest gatherings.

1. Switch to Fall Scents

Swap out the bright, floral and herbaceous notes of Summertime for deeper, spiced and gourmand Autumn classics. These six aromas define the season and set the perfect backdrop for every cozy moment:

-Apple: bright, crisp, and sweet, like biting into an orchard-fresh fruit.

-Cinnamon: warm and spicy, it wraps you in a warm hug as temperatures drop.

-Cardamom: woody and lightly sweet, it’s the subtle backbone of fall favorites.

-Tonka Bean: creamy and comforting, it rounds out sharper notes with velvety softness.

-Orange: citrusy and juicy, it sweetens richer aromas with a burst of freshness.

-Pumpkin: gourmand and earthy, it brings that iconic pie scent straight to your living room.

 

2. Light the Coziest Candles

Fall is considered the start of candle season for good reason. Nothing brings the cozy element to a space more than the warm glow of beeswax candles or the natural scents of our expertly blended essential oils. Candle Stork's Fall collection features all the classics: boozy apple cider, pumpkin pie, warm flannels, and spiced citrus. Cluster two or three candles on a tray to amplify their glow and let scents mingle. Strategically layer these Autumn Candles to set the perfect backdrop for every cozy moment:

A Forbidden Orchard-Ripe to the core with boozy bay rum leaf, warm cardamom spice, and sweet lemongrass.

The Witch's Familiar-Sweet orange and spiced clove wrap you in a gentle hug as temperatures drop.

3. Simmer Seasonal Spices on the Stove

A simmer pot is the fastest route to full-house coziness. In a small pot of water, combine cinnamon sticks, orange peels, apple slices, and a few whole cloves. Let it simmer on low heat—refill with water as needed—and watch the steam carry those classic fall notes through every room. 

4. Invite Crisp Fall Air Inside

Nothing beats a crisp Fall breeze: open windows during the warmest part of the day to let in that fresh, earthy air. Afternoon light and a cool gust will carry in outdoor aromas—seasonal blooms, damp leaves, fresh pine—and cleanse your indoor space. Close things up by dusk to keep the chill at bay and let your candles take over.

5. Bake Seasonal Treats and Savor Every Whiff

Make your home smell like pie, and eat it too! Preheat your oven for pumpkin muffins, apple crisps, or spiced nutmeg cookies. Stock up on staples—sugar, flour, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg—and let the aroma of warm pastries mingle with your beeswax candles for a multisensory fall experience.
