What Candle Scents are Great for Fall
There are few things as beautiful as the fall season, especially in New York City! The Big Apple comes alive with a unique magic as the temperature cools and the leaves on the trees turn their autumnal colors. There are so many great ways to get into the fall spirit, such as fun festivals, seasonal treats, and of course, celebrating the holidays. However, if you really want to set the mood for the season, a custom candle is a great way to do so! At Wick and Pour, we offer fun and relaxing candle-making classes right in the heart of NYC, where you can create a candle perfect for fall. Here’s what candle scents we recommend to welcome this wonderful season!
Our Favorite Fall Candle Scents for Custom Candles
Here at Wick and Pour, we love helping our guests express their unique identities and preferences through the art of candle making! Everyone has their own fall vibe… Maybe you love the smell of freshly baked goods and seasonal candies, or perhaps you’re into more striking scents like cranberry or pine. The great thing about creating your own custom candle is that you can play with scent and make something totally unique! Here are some of our favorite candle ideas for fall and how we would go about blending them:
Spicy Cinnamon
First, we would experiment with creating a spicy aroma using scents like clove and nutmeg with a dose of cinnamon oil. Personally, we love the addition of orange or another sweet citrus oil to help round out the sharp spices. For a cozy vibe, we recommend adding a healthy dose of vanilla to your blend as well!
Autumn Apples & Apple Pie
Oh my goodness, what is better than apple picking or a fresh apple pie in the fall? Create a custom candle using a strong base of apple fragrance oil with a dash of cinnamon or clove to mimic that warm, delicious apple pie spice blend. Our favorite part of any pie is the crust, so don’t forget to add something sweet like vanilla or brown sugar fragrance oil for a diy candle that is absolutely scrumptious!
Candy Corn
Candy corn is perhaps one of the most divisive candies out there! Personally, we love it. To create a unique candy corn custom candle, try blending buttercream and vanilla fragrance oils to create a sugary sweet base scent. We also recommend adding caramel and almond extract fragrance to round out your diy candle.
Pumpkin Spice
A fall favorite! Create a pumpkin spice candle at a fun candle-making class in New York City by combining pumpkin pie fragrance oil plus cinnamon and brown sugar to create a truly authentic autumn scent! Spice things up even more with extra cinnamon and maybe even some ginger, clove, or nutmeg oil.
Balsam and Pine
A great option for anyone who loves a more masculine scent! We love making these aromatic candles using pine needles and balsam fir essential oils with a touch of amber and cedarwood to add some complexity to the mix. These make a great holiday gift for boyfriends!
Spiced Apple Cider
One of our favorite warm autumnal treats… a spiced apple cider! A custom candle is a great way to evoke the feeling of relaxing with a steaming mug of this lovely beverage. Create your own by mixing apple fragrance oil with cinnamon and maple. You can also add star anise for some extra complexity and spice!
Hot Chocolate
Yet another delicious fall drink, kids especially love creating this chocolatey candle scent! Combine chocolate fragrance oil with maple or brown sugar. You could even add some marshmallow fragrance oil in your mix if that’s your thing!
