How to choose the right fall fragrance for you
Pumpkin scent
There are a few different pumpkin scents out there. Our Oh! Ducky Darling favourites are pumpkin cupcake, sweet cinnamon pumpkin, marshmallow pumpkin latte and pumpkin pecan waffles. Pumpkin cupcake does smell like spicy freshly baked cake. It's the perfect choice if you love the smell of fresh baking. Marshmallow pumpkin latte smells like freshly toasted marshmallows giving it a homely feel.
Cinnamon scent
Cinnamon has a spicy smell. It has a similar aroma to freshly baked gingerbread. Or, more accurately, it smells like a cinnamon bun. Cinnamon is a common fragrance in candles, so it's easy to get your hands on.
Apple cider scent
This scent often includes nutmeg, cinnamon and clove. Apple cider products smell spicy and have a hint of cooked apple to them. It embodies fall you can light an apple cider candle and think about apple picking and making wholesome apple pies.
Pecan pie scent
Talking about pies pecan pie is another awesome fall scent. This aroma is a delightful mixture of pastries and roasted nuts. A Pecan pie scent is often made-up of cinnamon, sugar, honey and hazelnut and pecan, which gives it the strong roasted nut scent.
Bonfire scent
Autumn 'tis the season of bonfires, especially with Bonfire Night in the UK. But, anyone can enjoy an autumn bonfire. You don't even need to leave your house, just light-up a bonfire scented candle. Bonfire is a cosy sent. It smells of warm wood.
