Autumn Pinecone is my first day of school scent, and one of my favorite fall scents of all time. I have back-ups but it scares me it hasn't come back this year. With Yankee, stick to the Signature jars if you want performance. What sucks is many of the old faves, for which I go to Yankee for, they haven't switch those to the Signature jars. Back in the 80s, 90s, 00s, Yankee did do paraffin extremely well, making complete house-fillers. I don't know why they stopped. It drives me crazy because we know they can do it.
I’ve pretty much switched to fall as well. My home is decorated and I’m all set! Plus, we’ve had a couple of cooler days here in SoCal with highs in the low to mid 80’s and the mornings have been in the 60’s! So much better than the 95 plus we’ve had for weeks and weeks!
Last week of summer fruits and so I went through a farmstand strawberry, triple berry pie, and a bar of rainbow red from scentsy. I’m just about to start a summer boardwalk today. Can’t wait to start the Apple smells.
I had a bbw 25% off coupon and they were doing $13.95 3 wicks today. I got 11 candles for $100 and was super excited. I had a coupon for Yankee today so I picked up some of their signature collection (don’t like paraffin either). They have a cafe collection that smelled awesome. Also picked up ciderhouse which is my favorite apple. Last one I got was pumpkin banana scone. I had this one last year and was happy to grab it again.
I purchased several of the BWW Pumpkin S'mores. I LOVE the scent. I've burned through 2 and started a 3rd one. They are performing great for me. Getting a 8-8.5 out of them. Burning cleanly and no wicks issues. There must be some batch variations. I wish Kringle would do a S'mores scent (hint hint). 😉 I ordered 2 of the Homeworx Harvest Hot Chocolate candles. Very excited to try them. 💜
I am also one of those who goes with "what makes me happy" when it comes to home fragrance! I often walk from room to room saying out loud "oh it's so good". I stick with Scentsy over candles only because of the many fires we in Northern CA have experienced. I still have many 3 wick candles I have never burned due to my PTSD. Still love the scents though.
I live in Georgia so it’s still very hot.. I’ve decided that I’m still going to burn/melt summer scents until we come back from Destin mid September. As soon as we get home I’m busting out all the apples and fall decor😆… Homeworx Autumn Pinecone is such a good one!
Thanks for sharing your weekly Fall favorite home fragrances. 🍂I’ve also transitioned to Autumn candles. YC Pumpkin Wreath is my all time Fall fave! (have 1 left). I can send you one of my many Iluma lids to prevent further tunneling-always works on Yankees I’ve burned. I’m also no longer burning paraffin, so hoping to find new homes for my final 8 YC large jar paraffins (no takers yet). Went a little “ham” on the Kringle Labor Day sale! My Fall favorite, Pumpkin Peppercorn, is being discontinued & clearanced off. 😕 This week, enjoying Kringle Reserve Orange, Sinister, Sicilian Orange, Pumpkin Peppercorn, & finished BBW Citrus Grove. Hoping Kringle pours more Leaf Peeper (still out of stock). Happy fragrances to all! R🍁
Hey Melanie Happy Saturday, Goose Creek released quite a few $11.88 candles on their site. Looks amazing. My Homeworx Peanut Butter & Raspberry Jam candle will be done soon and will move to BBW Cranberry & Gala Apple as a Fall transitional candle. Ok, getting down to the good news: T.J. Maxx and Marshall's carry Homeworx hand soaps at $4.99 each which is better than QVC from what I've seen on a Google search lol. It's $19.98 for two soaps there, and $10.78 for two at the outlets. Big thanks to Katie for this info. The scents that I got: Farmstand Peach (holy cow you're right, this smells amazing!), Black Pumpkin Woods, Marshmallow Woods, Cinnamon Peach Latte, and Vampire Venom. Now I'll keep my eye on these every time I go there, hopefully once a week or every other. I picked up a BBW freebie: Pumpkin Bonfire room spray too. It's been a great week with candle and hand soap purchases :D Yankee released a Cafe Collection: Pumpkin Spice Latte, Nitro Cold Brew, Vanilla Chai Latte, Peppermint Mocha. Definitely skipping it, not a coffee fan. Autumn Pinecone is amazing on cold, I should burn it Fall 2025. I want Pumpkin Wreath and Tarte Tatin please, I might change my mind and burn Cranberry or Cranberry Chutney this holiday season. Vanilla Romance is great. Happy burning.
Hi Melanie. Great video. I recently tried Root candle votives. I love them and the throw was quite good. I will need to try one of their jar candles soon . Also, last holiday season I purchased a small tin trio of Voluspa candles. They were so nice. Do you know if they have ever had a holiday small tin trio? The fragrances in my trio were mint mojito, Kalahari watermelon, and a Tahitian vanilla scent. So nice. I really enjoyed them. Also, I have heard about the new coffee collection candles from Yankee. I may try some of them real soon. I just purchased the new apple crisp candle from BBW. Hoping to try that this week. Always enjoy your videos. It is great to hear from someone who enjoys home fragrance the way I do. Have a great week this week! By the way, I am with you on hot weather! I am so "over it" here in New Jersey. Looking forward to a chill in the air for sure!😊😊
Oh, yankee candle. Autumn wreath was my fall favorite candle from them. You talking about them makes me want to check them out. Luckily I have yankee and bbw outlet stores less than ten minutes away. Have you ever tried radiant red maple from bbw? I can’t get enough of this candle! A sweet, from the marshmallow and smokey apple. They made it an online exclusive this year unfortunately. Have a great week, Melanie.
When you go to Yankee, may I suggest the 2 wick Signature jars. In my experience, they have the cleanest burn and best scent output. The straight sided tumblers always tunnel for me and the 1 wick original jars, they always end up in the crock, no longer purchase the 1 wicks.
I ordered a 3 wick in the Voluspa Foraged Wildberry from Bloomingdale’s at 20% off, but I love blackberry fragrances. That sale is still going on. My local Wegman’s grocery store has Root 3 wick candles that got me curious to try them. I would have to use an illumia-lid and put it in a hurricane to get the Yankee one wick candles to pool out. They have a returning favorite called Belgian Waffles which is a very good gourmand, but it is paraffin. The Yankee Christmas collection sounds more gourmand this year, like a croissant and raspberry jam one, but isn’t out yet. If you go before then try smelling Pumpkin Banana Scone. Even if you don’t like the candles they usually have the fragrances in melt cups and wax melts. I loved Pumpkin Wreath back in the day.🍁(I tried to edit my original comment and wound up deleting it…hot mess over here🤣)
I wish Yankee would bring back Tarte Tatum. It was so good!! I was able to snag one at an outlet. Their fall fragrances don’t even make sense to me anymore. They alienated their customer base with poor performance and weird combos of fragrance that nobody asked for. Glad you are enjoying your fall fragrances 🍁🍂 I’ve been melting some apple scents. Just started HW Hot Cider Donut this week.
Did you take advantage of the 75% off select Kringle candles/wax melts? I’m new to Kringle, so I don’t know if they have these sales often, but WOW! I got some great deals!
I returned pumpkins s’mores it’s Devine but straight up getting robbed on the oils. Definitely a 4 on throw. Sad 😔 but I returned don’t have time stingy games. Thank you so much for your reviews Going to take the plunge on some of Kringle recommendations
Melanie, did you try Praline Delight from BBW last year? Curious to know if the Pecan Praline is close to that. It was my favorite from last years fall candles 😍
It just depends on if you want to deal with pouring wax off or not really. Personally I can be lazy so crocks are better for me in that respect. You just turn it on and let it go. You'll need to pour of wax if lamping.
I love the “burn/melt what makes me happy” vibe. I’m the girl who burns gourmand in her bedroom. Blasphemy. But it makes me happy so whatevs!
I too bought so many Pumpkin Wreath candles and tarts when it was retiring way back when. Still a fragrance I adore!

I love pumpkin smores! Mine is pretty strong.
WE ARE MAKING YOU A BIG MAMA JAMA Smoked Butter Scotch CANDLE! Just for you!!! It's coming your way!
I’ve pretty much switched to fall as well. My home is decorated and I’m all set! Plus, we’ve had a couple of cooler days here in SoCal with highs in the low to mid 80’s and the mornings have been in the 60’s! So much better than the 95 plus we’ve had for weeks and weeks!
I forgot to mention Yankee has a new Cafe Collection that sounds promising if you like fall coffee shop type fragrances.
Last week of summer fruits and so I went through a farmstand strawberry, triple berry pie, and a bar of rainbow red from scentsy. I’m just about to start a summer boardwalk today. Can’t wait to start the Apple smells.

I’m burning Berry Pumpkin waffle & Pumpkin Peppercorn by Kringle. What backups are you getting from Kringle?
Did you take advantage of the 75% off select Kringle candles/wax melts? I’m new to Kringle, so I don’t know if they have these sales often, but WOW! I got some great deals!
YES! They're having a great sale and some of the scents are my favorites... May have gone a little overboard, lol.l😊
I did not but I bought some other stuff lol!
Hey Melanie, are you talking about the woodburn outlet?
I returned pumpkins s’mores it’s Devine but straight up getting robbed on the oils. Definitely a 4 on throw. Sad 😔 but I returned don’t have time stingy games.
Thank you so much for your reviews
Going to take the plunge on some of Kringle recommendations
Melanie, did you try Praline Delight from BBW last year? Curious to know if the Pecan Praline is close to that. It was my favorite from last years fall candles 😍
I did not try that one but I wish I had!
You look so beautiful!!
Would you recommend that I get a crock or a lamp for melting? I can’t buy both so I was curious as to which one would be better.
It just depends on if you want to deal with pouring wax off or not really. Personally I can be lazy so crocks are better for me in that respect. You just turn it on and let it go. You'll need to pour of wax if lamping.
Was the outlet in Lincoln City?
No, it was Woodburn.
Where can I find that Mexican hot chocolate fragrance?
At HomeWorks.
