In case you simply can't wait to get your pumpkin spice fix.
There are few feelings better than entering a room soaked in the scent of a relaxing fall day, throwing a record on, and sipping tea as the red leaves fall delicately outside the window. And as these nostalgic days are closely approaching, what better time to pull out your favourite candles?
The upcoming fall season has many exciting moments in store: fashion week, football season, and the time for a perfectly scented home. Setting up the right ambiance is a tough task, so we're here to make it slightly easier with these candle choices.
