No hearth to call your own? Fake it till you make it with the Portable Fireplace candle from cult-fave fragrance house D.S. & Durga. With notes of dwarf pine, Atlas cedar, oak ash, birch and smoke, it's almost as cozy (and nowhere near as messy) as the real thing.

If you can't spend fall in Provence, you can at least enjoy the smells of harvest time in the French countryside. The Marseille-based soap evangelists at Compagnie de Provence just released their new Terra collection, and it's equal parts elevated and earthy. Think green olive, warm fig and musky rosewood.

Nobody does autumn like Scandinavia, where cozying up by the fire is a way of life. Skandinavisk's Skog Candle takes its cues from the region's boreal forests, combining pine, fir, aged leather, and woodland lily for a camp-chic blend. Say it with us: ahhh.

Cooler weather can mean a dryer complexion. Enter Fig + Yarrow's Woods Bath + Body Oil.

Use it as a moisturizer, or add a few drops to your bath to really soak in the season.
