I burn candles all year long but fall/winter is really my favorite time to lean into seasonal scents. I am a pumpkin gal through and through so my favorite fall candles definitely contain a few pumpkin options. But after discovering some fruitier scents from a few of my favorite brands, I have expanded my fall candle lineup. Here are all my favorite fall candles!

My Favorite Fall Candles

Voluspa Spiced Pumpkin Latte

I have a few regular favorites that I repurchase year after year. This is a must have fall candle for me. It smells perfectly pumpkin-y but with more of a creamy sweetness. In addition to notes of pumpkin, there are a mixture of spices (ginger, cardamom and clove) which give it that spiced element. To complete the scent profile are the gourmand elements of vanilla, marshmallow and cinnamon spiced brulee which is probably why this continues to be a must-have candle for me every fall. (Here is the link for the glass dish that I like to use for my candles!)

Literie Pumpkins on the Porch (use code: MAREE10 to save)

This is a new-to-me candle brand that I discovered. I have been loving their newest fall scent “Pumpkins on the Porch”. Funny enough there aren’t notes of pumpkin in this so if you are not a pumpkin fan, this may be a great option! Ha! Just notes of spiced cinnamon and clove which gives off the coziest vibes for a room. Sweet and spicy which is great to burn into November leading up to the holidays.

Nest Pumpkin Chai

For a true splurge candle, I will always get myself a Nest Pumpkin Chai every year. That sounds like a drink but I can assure you it’s a candle. LOL The notes are similar to the Voluspa one but honestly the addition of masala chai gives this scent a ton more richness. Also the throw from a Nest candle is unlike anything else. It can fill up an entire room without ever being lit. The full scent profile of this is wild pumpkin, spicy masala chai, cardamom, ginger and cinnamon.

Nest Autumn Plum

If you are sick of the pumpkin propaganda and want something else for fall…..this is the candle to try. A fruity gourmand scent that makes you immediately think of falling leaves. The notes are wild plum, cinnamon, patchouli and cashmere wood.

Trader Joe’s Honeycrisp Apple

I sadly cannot link this but I stock up on these every time I go to Trader Joe’s. This smells JUST like a fresh cut honeycrisp apple. Sweet and fruity but with a freshness that none of the other candles offer. The only downside for this candle is how poorly it burns. It does not burn evenly and often tunnels but for the price point, I don’t mind.

Dedcool as a brand has been steadily gaining popularity over the past few years stemming from their initial fragrance launch Milk. Their approach to fragrance is rooted in providing scents that are easily worn alone or layered to enhance your own personal scent profile. I was slow to explore the brand but heard so much buzz surrounding their products that I finally decided to order some to try. I have acquired quite a few of their best selling scents and wanted to do a full review on all of them in case you wanted to try one for yourself. In addition to their extensive lineup of fragrances, they have expanded into detergents, home scents, dryer sheets and pet products because of the success of their fresh scent profiles. I own a few of these ancillary products as well so I can give a quick blurb about each and which I recommend!

Dedcool Fragrance Review

Milk Fragrance

This was the fragrance that really put Dedcool on the map. It’s a skin-like musk scent that is very easy to wear, genderless and great for layering. With notes of bergamot, white musk and amber, this feels almost like a no-fragrance fragrance. I can hardly smell this on myself but often get compliments from others when I wear it. So clearly it can be smelled by others but not in an overpowering way. If you struggle to find a fragrance that feels fresh and clean but won’t overwhelm the space you are in all day, this is a must try!

Xtra Milk Fragrance

With the success of Milk, the brand launched a stronger version called Xtra Milk which has now become even more popular than it’s original namesake. This fragrance has the exact same notes as Milk (bergamot, white musk and amber) but in a slightly stronger concentration. It is still VERY delicate and soft while still giving you that soft skin-like musk scent that everyone fell in love with. Another aspect to this launch was how well it layers with other scents not only from Dedcool, but any brand. Adding that delicate musk note as a base is a great way to create your own signature scent by mixing it with your favorite fragrances.

Mochi Milk Fragrance

It took me some time to get into this scent despite being a lover of sweet and fruity fragrances. It’s my least favorite out of all the Dedcool fragrances I own, but is still one I reach for. There is still a musk base to this EDP which you can smell as it dries down. The top notes are what you are hit with first when you smell this. Marshmallow, peach nectar and incense are the opening notes which is where you get the sweet and fruity mix. Middle notes are sweet rice milk, vanilla bean and jasmine petals add a touch of floral and vanilla to balance out the sweetness. Bottom notes of sandalwood, amber and white musk complete the scent by adding some creaminess to the overall experience.

Mocha Magic Fragrance

There is their newest launch and probably my favorite out of this entire bunch! I love the smell of coffee but it’s hard to find fragrances that embody the scent in a palatable way. Mocha Magic manages to give that coffee experience without any bitterness. The scent opens with espresso, mocha and cream notes that immediately make me fall in love with this perfume. Middle notes are biscotti, toffee and bourbon followed by base notes of vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood. I LOVE this fragrance though it is a fall/winter scent for sure. I cannot see myself wearing this in the spring/summer because of how rich it feels and wears on the skin. But it’s one of my current favorite fall/winter fragrances.

Mineral Milk Fragrance

My Dedcool collection feels like the perfect grouping of scent categories. This final scent falls into a more watery aquatic scent with a hint of fruit. It’s light but still has small hints of creaminess and warmth. The opening notes are golden nectar and passionfruit which you smell immediately. But after a few seconds you are immediately hit with the middle notes of coastal lavender, ocean air and marine salt which makes it feel fresh and airy. Base notes are amber milk, Virginia cedar and sandalwood which is why the fragrance eventually feels a bit richer the longer you wear it.

Additional Dedcool Products I Use and Love

Dryer Sheets

While I use unscented laundry products for my husband and son, I LOVE to use all the fragranced things for my clothing. These scented laundry pods in french saffron or himalayan cashmere are my preferred detergent options (you can use code: MAREE15 to save if you want to try them!), but for dryer sheets I love the ones from Dedcool in Xtra Milk. The laundry pods add their scent to my clothing while the dryer sheets provide just a hint of that skin-like musk scent I adore. Laundry is my least favorite chore to do so choosing products that make it more enjoyable is my coping mechanism. Ha!

Room + Linen Spray

I thought it was a genius move to offer home products in their iconic Milk and Xtra milk scents. They both embody that clean, fresh aura that everyone wants for their home which is why I love their room + linen spray. It’s the perfect finishing touch after I’ve made the bed or finished cleaning.
