Nothing says “warm and cozy” like lighting up one or two scented candles on those cold, windy autumn days.
Admittedly, curling up under a blanket and indulging a good movie or book while my candle flickers in the background is one of my favorite past times.
So imagine the joy I felt when I found out there were tons of black-owned businesses offering up some of the best fall-ready scented candles in the game.
Get into 5 of our favorite candles that’ll surely add a nice, warm touch to your fall season.
Speakeasy By Harlem Candle Company
Speakeasy carries the very essence of a grown and sexy jazz club. Characterized by notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, and bourbon, this scent is nothing short of intoxicating. Not to mention that it’s wrapped in a classy, deep purple glass jar that gives the vibe of melanated luxury and sophistication. All 12 oz is worth burning down to the very last drop of wax.
September Sixth By Alexandra Winbush
September Sixth by Alexandra Winbush isn’t a candle, girl it’s a whole vibe. The sweet, musky, and vibrant tones of Moroccan Amber wrap around you like a warm blanket fresh out of the dryer. It’s truly the perfect fall scent because it was made to be paired with a Spiced Apple Chai Tea Blend that’s offered as a full mood-setting collection on their site.
WARM By Predominantly Black
WARM by Predominantly Black bring a new energy to what we think fall should feel and smell like. Instead of gourds and earthy scents, WARM goes for crisp apples and fresh lines; It embodies the essence of putting on a nice, rich body butter before you tuck yourself into a white cotton robe. It’s still autumn—but with a contemporary spin.
Bold Awakening By Candle Essentials
Multiple homemade pies baking at once is the best way to describe this lovely autumnal candle. When you light it, scents of cinnamon, green apple, red currants, and orange zest fill the air. Bold Awakening is equal parts spicy and spicy, making it the perfect candle to burn in the background as you create memories with your loved ones for the holidays.
Autumn Bliss By One Eleven Candles
What’s fall time without the aroma of pumpkin? Not much! And Autumn Bliss by One Eleven Candles makes sure to uniquely elevate this seasonal staple by accentuating toasted, warm pumpkin with bits and pieces of Red Jasper crystals. These crystals are said to bring grounding and nurturing energy—ideal for those cold, windy, or rainy fall days.
