Candles are one of my favorite ways to unwind. The ritual of lighting the wick and watching the flickering flame serves as a great reminder to relax. You have so many different scents—floral, earthy, spicy and sweet, all mixed and mingled together. You may ask yourself; how do I find my favorite scent? Piece of advice: Always go with a smell for the season. So for fall, you would want one that's earthy, woody and potent.

Everyone seems to gravitate towards a scent that may remind them of a fond memory—a loved one's sweater, or a place that you cannot wait to go back and visit. If you're on the fence, look at the product details and you'll see a list of scent notes. My nose naturally loves strong smells such as worn-in leather, smoky woods, vetiver or vanilla. These fragrances remind me of being next to a fire or a moody cocktail bar during the colder seasons and I don't mind smelling scents like that year around.

Whether or not you're into candles, it's always a great opportunity to bring a certain mood or vibe into your living space. I know the next few weeks may be too cold for bonfires, but some of these candles we've listed will allow you to have that same scent and warm glow in the comfort of your living room.
