Our Team’s Favorite Fall Candles (+the Price Breakdown You Didn’t Know You Needed)

So here’s the deal. Our team has a cozy-cute obsession with fall candles. We’re talking one of us might’ve been a candle maker in her former life (think Serenity by Jan from The Office). And the rest of us can sniff out a scent note from a mile away. We’ve put our noses and preferences together to round up our favorite fall candles of 2024.

Being the finance girlies that we are 🤓 We naturally had to calculate the fall candle price breakdown that *literally no one* asked for because the people deserve to know. We’re talking the nitty-gritty numbers to know exactly what you’re paying for, hour-by-hour of your peak candle burning .

May your pumpkin candles burn brightly this season, friends 🕯️

Our Team’s Favorite Fall Candle Round-Up

Gathered Candle by Magnolia

🕯️$.60/per hour burned

Joanna Gaines said she’s burned this candle for the last 15 years, so obviously it’s first on the list. Featuring the spicy scent of pumpkin chai tied together with notes of coffee, pumpkin, & nutmeg. Basically a fall coffee date with your bestie in candle form ☕

Pumpkin Clove by Capri Blue

🕯️$.44/per hour burned

Think creamy, buttery pumpkin with a touch of orange zest wrapped within a savory vanilla and cinnamon base.

The trifecta of cozy scent, aesthetic jar, & ideal cost per hour burned.
