The first day of fall has finally arrived and what better way to celebrate than turning your home into a retreat of fall scents?

We’ve rounded up the best fall scents for your home, so you can really capture the feeling of autumn. From natural home fragrances to baking at home– there are a variety of ways you can fill your home with these distinctive fall scents!

For several reasons, pumpkin spice shouts fall to many of us. With so many pumpkin spice treats and drinks, why not make your home smell of the sweet aroma too? Lucky for us, this scent has become really popular among candle stores and other types of air fresheners for your home.

If you’re looking to get crafty and stay natural, you can even make this Pumpkin Spice Room Spray using a mixture of essential oils. And, if you’re looking for an easy option, just run to the store where you’ll find pumpkin spice scented everything!

Cozy up to the array of different apple scents—Apple cinnamon, apple pie, baked apples, etc., in the comfort of your own home. For some reason, apples have been made into a perfect scent for any season—so why not add it to the list of  fall scents?

There are many different apple fragrance options you can find for your home in stores. While it may seem like a thing of the past, you can even try making your own apple potpourri recipes, which can be a fun way to create different scents within your home.

While coffee is an essential part to most of our days throughout the year, there is something about cuddling up on the couch with a warm cup of coffee on a brisk fall day. The smell of coffee can be a relaxing aroma for some, especially for all of the coffee lovers out there. While making a cup of coffee in your kitchen can help spread the scent throughout your home, there are a variety of ways to get this scent without actually making a cup yourself.

DIY coffee candle tip:

• Choose your favorite candle jars
• Fill the candle jars with your choice of coffee beans
• Place a tea light (scented or non-scented) on top of the coffee beans

When you light the candle, the aroma from the coffee beans will fill your home!

With the arrival of fall, you might find the weather cooling down, which usually calls for the perfect time to make a bonfire in your backyard with family and friends. Now for some, the cold weather might take longer to arrive, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a few aspects of a bonfire too, right? Maybe not physically, but we can at least pretend by choosing a candle or air freshener with the classic bonfire scent. The artificial scent could also be a plus for those don’t enjoy the real bonfire smell stuck on their clothes afterwards.

Salted caramel or even any other sweet treat is a perfect scent for the autumn season. The best part is that you can not only find the sweet smell of caramel or baked goods in the form of a candle or home fragrance, but simply by baking them in your kitchen you can achieve a “free” smell to spread through your home. If you’re not keen on baking though, you can find a collection of sweet home fragrance options in stores!

Happy first day of fall, and we hope you can find the perfect fall scent to fill your home this season!
