Which Essential Oils Are Best to Burn in Candles This Autumn?

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, many of us look for ways to bring warmth and comfort into our homes. One of the easiest and most effective ways to create a cosy, inviting atmosphere is by burning candles scented with essential oils. But which essential oils work best for autumn? We have put together our top essential oil combinations that evoke the spirit of the season and why they’re perfect for autumn candles.

1. Cinnamon, Clove, and Orange

Nothing says autumn quite like the warm, spicy aroma of cinnamon and clove, paired with the citrusy brightness of orange. This classic blend is reminiscent of mulled cider and sweet oranges. These essential oils bring warmth and comfort, helping to create a cosy atmosphere that’s perfect for cold autumn evenings.

At Bouclé, our Fir Tree, Orange Oil & Mulling Spices candle perfectly captures this autumnal feeling. With notes of clove bud, cinnamon bark, and star anise, this candle adds festive warmth to any room, making it ideal for those chillier autumn nights.

2. Patchouli, Cardamom, and Mandarin Rind

For a more earthy and grounding autumn scent, patchouli and cardamom work wonderfully together, with mandarin rind adding a touch of sweetness. Patchouli’s deep, musky aroma pairs beautifully with the warm spice of cardamom, while mandarin rind provides a bright, citrusy lift, making it a balanced yet rich combination for the autumn months.

Our Patchouli, Cardamom & Mandarin Rind soy candle combines these essential oils to create a scent that’s grounding, soothing, and perfect for creating a tranquil autumn atmosphere.

3. Vetiver, Grapefruit, and Bergamot

If you’re looking for something a little fresher to burn during the autumn months, the combination of vetiver, grapefruit, and bergamot is ideal. Vetiver is earthy and woody, making it a great scent for autumn, while grapefruit and bergamot bring a bright, citrusy note that uplifts the senses, keeping your home feeling fresh as the days grow darker.

Our Vetiver Grapefruit & Bergamot Oil candle balances these aromas beautifully, offering a refreshing, crisp scent that’s perfect for autumn mornings or afternoons.

Why Essential Oils Are Perfect for Autumn

Burning candles made with essential oils during autumn not only fills your home with comforting, natural aromas but also helps support your well-being. Essential oils can help reduce stress, improve mood, and create a more relaxing environment, making them the perfect addition to any cosy autumn evening.
