I pride myself on being a connoisseur of candles & my nose says these are all worth the hype (& the price tag). If you're looking for pumpkin spice anything, you won't find it here. Sorry (not sorry). Fall to me smells smoky, warm & woody - think sandalwood, cedar, vanilla, leather, patchouli. As the weather cools down, these candles will make you feel grounded, cozy & calm. They're some of my favorite candles to have in my home year-round, but they're especially dreamy additions for the fall & winter seasons. They also make perfect holiday gifts.
