Fall might have had a bit of a rocky start weather-wise, but thankfully, some respite is on the horizon. Till we officially start breaking out those fall sweaters, though, we're relying on the accouterments to set the mood — and what better harbinger of cooler times than the humble pumpkin candle?

How do we love thee, pumpkin spice? Allow us to count the ways. No longer just reserved for lattes, pumpkin spice is a flavor that is just so warm, cozy, and satisfying however you encounter it, like a weighted blanket for the soul. One mention of this famous scent and flavor and cozy autumn vibes immediately come to mind. With good reason: These candles are chock full of signature fall scents, ranging from the classic allspice, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg medley to pumpkins baked in pies simmering over the stove with butter, pressed into waffles, roasted with chestnuts, combined with sweet, homey classics like vanilla — you name it.

If you're not exactly a pumpkin-spice lover, we have plenty more options for you, too! Consider this guide to the best pumpkin candles to be our declaration of unceasing admiration. These are our favorite pumpkin-scented candles that make fall the 365-day celebration that it should be for you and your gourd squad.

Relish Hand-Poured Scented Candle in Pumpkin + Spice

Pumpkin and spice and everything nice, this pumpkin candle looks ripe for repurposing once the decadently scented wax has burned away. It smells of clove, mandarin, patchouli, and creamy vanilla.

The modern farmhouse-appropriate vessel is made of glass with a metal lid, and we can certainly see this as a great place to stow small bits and bobs on our vanity or desk. In our heads, mason jars also equal fall, so this is doubly on point.

In Season Pumpkin Spiced Cake Soy Candle

Glasshouse is a well-loved Australian brand that's thankfully hit this side of the hemisphere, and we're so stoked: Known for its sophisticated fragrance blends and thoughtfully curated scent stories, its offerings hit all the right notes (pun intended) without being cloying or overbearing.

The scents in the In Season candle make it a pick worth adding to your rotation. With a mix of pumpkin, coconut, orange, nutmeg, cinnamon, cumin, clove, maple, caramelized sugar, musk, and vanilla, you get a fall fragrance with a hint of sparkle to make it sing. Irresistible!

No. 40 Pumpkin Spice Latte Candle

If you've ever found yourself bored with the usual gourd-shaped, cottagecore vessels out there or want something that integrates better into an earthy or beachy aesthetic, then this is your stop. Housed in a real upcycled coconut husk, it combines the best of both worlds — tropical and autumnal, duh — without compromise.

Backyard's No. 40 candle is a self-described "casual yet elegant" scent with its rendition of the Pumpkin Spice candle, featuring pumpkin, clove, black tea, orange peel, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and graham crackers (wow!). We also definitely put it under the "refreshingly original" column. And at $15? Hard yes to adding this one to cart.

Half Baked Pumpkin Smash

Our beauty editor, Nicole Saunders, is all about a more elevated version of pumpkin spice and thus gushes over this fab collab from Snif. "Snif teamed up with food blogger Tieghan Gerard to create an adult version that fills your room with warm notes of brûléed orange, cinnamon stick, pumpkin spice, salted maple, whiskey, and roasted chocolate," she explains.

"I love that Snif is also a nontoxic brand that utilizes soy wicks on their candles for an even burn," she says, adding, "And with up to 50 hours of burn time for the 8.5-ounce candle and over 200 hours for the massive 50-ounce candle, I can't wait for my home to smell delicious all fall."

Large Spiced Pumpkin 2-Wick Candle

Yankee Candle's pumpkin candle scent is truly outstanding. Spiced Pumpkin is as true-to-form as it gets: Nutmeg, vanilla, and citrus notes create a just-out-of-the-oven experience.

We love that this "sweet and spicy" scent comes in a wide variety of forms, including room sprays, air fresheners for the car, and of course, little tea lights for an hour or two of enjoyment.

Nostalgic* Crystal Infused Fall Candle in Pumpkin Pecan

This is quite possibly one of the most aesthetically pleasing woo-woo pumpkin candles we've ever come across. Not only is it made from 100% natural soy wax, but its gourmand prism of pumpkin, maple, and pecans with a hint of cherry, vanilla, and cinnamon evokes the familiar coziness of maple pancakes being whipped up in the kitchen (hence the name "Nostalgic").

And, guess what: It comes with crystals! Embedded in the wax are dalmatian jasper (for mental sharpness and to bring out your inner child) and all-powerful clear quartz to amplify.

Pumpkin Spice Candle

Live every day like it's the first day of fall. Williams Sonoma's Pumpkin Spice candle is very understated for year-round display — no orange glass or pumpkin shapes here! And the scent is lovely, too.

Notes of creamy pumpkin and sweet orange peel are edged up with spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove for an overall profile that's 100% fall vibes. Doesn't help that the pumpkin-shaped vessel is also all sorts of homespun cute!
