10 Scents You Need in Your Home This Season

It’s officially September, so it’s time to start buying Halloween decor. Whether you’ve already put out your fake pumpkins or are still rocking your summer florals, you should think about how you’re going to set the mood for the spookiest holiday of the year. Halloween candles are an easy way to do it.

With woodsy notes and mysterious scents that’ll remind you of spells, ghosts and other supernatural elements, candles appeal to a sense that is under-utilized (your nose). Halloween is a bit trickier of a holiday when it comes to decor shopping, because everyone has a different Halloween vibe. Maybe you favor campy, corny decor or you prefer goth witch vibes. No matter your spooky aesthetic, there are candle options for you. These candles are illustrated or designed in a way that supports the scent within. You’ll want to proudly display them on your coffee table or in your entryway for sure.
