There's an age-old debate over which is the superior fall flavor—pumpkin or apple—and honestly, I see both sides. Team Pumpkin is warm and spicy, offering creamy lattes and comforting pumpkin pie, while Team Apple is fresh and crisp, thanks to cider and apple fritters. But no matter which side you're on, one of our editors' favorite Bath & Body Works fall candles offers the best of both worlds—and it's on sale right now for just $11.
After comparing 19 different pumpkin candles from Bath & Body Works in an in-office smell test, Apple Pumpkin earned a near-perfect 9/10 star rating from our editors for its balanced scent profile. Its notes of red delicious apple, pumpkin, fresh ground cinnamon, and clove buds are cozy without being overly sweet, appealing to a range of different tastes.
"I LOVE an apple scent and this one is juicy and well-rounded," notes Senior Commerce Manager Mackenzie Dunn. "It smells like my favorite upstate orchard."
Almost all of our favorite fall scents have already sold out at Bath & Body Works, and since this pick is 60% off, we don't expect it to stay in stock much longer. But in case you're looking to stock up on more seasonal scents, we spotted a handful of on-sale fall candles to add to your haul.
For a modern spin on a classic pumpkin spice scent, White Pumpkin stood out to our editors for its elevated blend of gingered white pumpkin and caramel glaze. Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin is comforting and nostalgic, balancing cinnamon with vanilla cream and brown sugar notes. Meanwhile, Porchside Pumpkin is subtle and more fresh, with notes of cardamom and woods that reminded Commerce Editor Anvita Reddy of cologne.
If you adore sugary-sweet, dessert-inspired scents, you're in luck: Pumpkin Pecan Waffles, Pumpkin S'Mores, and Pumpkin Cupcake are also on sale, and each candle will make your home smell like freshly-baked seasonal treats. Since they're all under $15 right now, you might as well add more than one to cart.
