The Best Scented Candles for Autumn-Winter
As the crisp air of autumn and winter begins to settle in, there’s nothing quite like lighting a candle to create that warm, comforting atmosphere. At Price’s Candles, we’ve carefully curated some of the best candles UK homes turn to during the colder months—and while we have our favourites, we know that scent is deeply personal. Whether you prefer the crackle of a jar candle or the elegance of dinner candles on your table, the right fragrance can transform your space.
If you’re looking to discover your perfect autumn-winter fragrance or stock up for the season ahead, here’s everything you need to know.
Personal Taste is Everything
When choosing scented candles for autumn and winter, it’s not about following trends—it’s about what makes you feel warm, calm, and content. Whether that’s a rich, woody scent reminiscent of a forest cabin, or something lighter and fruity, your ideal fragrance is the one that brings you joy.
Our online candle shop offers a wide range of choices to suit every mood—from the clean, relaxing aroma of Spa Moments to the indulgent sweetness of Vanilla Cupcake. You'll also find a lovely selection of reed diffusers, odour-eliminating candles, and decorative dinner candles, all perfect for the season.
Why You Should Keep a Candle Stock This Season
There’s more than one reason to keep a small stash of your favourite candles on hand during the colder months:
1. Stay Cosy Indoors
When it’s cold and dark outside, nothing completes a night in like a good book, a soft blanket, and the warm flicker of a candle. Whether it’s the calming scent of Spa Moments, the zesty lift of Sicilian Citrus, or something sweet like Vanilla Cupcake, lighting a candle sets the perfect mood.
2. Create a Beautiful Atmosphere
Candles don’t just smell good—they bring character to a space. A fragrance like Oriental Nights turns your living room into a serene, romantic hideaway. From rich jar candles to minimalist dinner candles, the right piece can change the feel of a whole room.
3. Always Be Ready with a Gift
Having a few candles in elegant gift boxes tucked away means you’re never unprepared. Whether it’s a last-minute dinner invite or a seasonal gathering, a beautifully packaged candle is always a thoughtful present—especially during the holidays.
Best Candle Fragrances for Autumn & Winter
Wondering what others are burning this season? Based on feedback from our loyal Instagram community, here are the top fragrance picks for autumn-winter:
Fig & Plum – A deep, fruity scent that brings instant warmth and richness.
Cinnamon – Sweet, spicy, and perfectly festive. The ultimate cosy candle.
Mixed Berries – Blending musk, bark, and berries, this fragrance is like a walk through autumn woodland.
Mandarin & Ginger – A vibrant citrus and spice combo that refreshes and uplifts.
Sandalwood – Earthy and elegant, this timeless scent adds depth and calm.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget Outdoor Candles
While autumn may draw you indoors, outdoor spaces still deserve a touch of light. Citronella candles may be better known for summer evenings, but their herbal notes can also complement outdoor gatherings in early autumn—especially when grouped with jar candles or lanterns on patios or balconies.
