Check out these 10 favorite fall scents and you might just be surprised as to how you might also like these scents during fall. Most of these scents you can enjoy year round but there’s just something about fall that makes them extra special.
10. Pears – so mouth watering during fall
There’s nothing like coming home on a crispy fall day and enjoying a nice ripe juicy pear. Pears can be filled with a special sweetness that is mouthwatering and they taste so fresh. This is one of those examples to where this scent can be enjoyed throughout the year but fall just makes pears very nice. Fall is a great time to also buy pears because they start to sale right at the very beginning of the season in a lot of farmer’s markets.

9. Caramel Popcorn – a romantic movie and caramel popcorn on a fall night – perfect evening!
I love the smell of caramel in the fall but what I like best is having caramel popcorn. Caramel popcorn is a mixture of sweet plus salty. During the fall I enjoy watching a nice romantic movie and having some caramel popcorn at the same time. Some bags of caramel popcorn have peanuts in them and I always tend to grab those bags that have peanuts in them because peanuts in caramel popcorn just make it perfect for me.

8. Banana Nut Bread – on a crispy fall day this is so good.
Here is another one of my all time favorites in the fall. I think I enjoy having this so much during the fall because not only does it smell good but it’s nice and warm. I always have a slice of banana nut bread right when it comes out of the oven after it has cooled down for a few seconds. Another thing I enjoy doing is putting butter on it. I seem to only have this around the fall time mostly. I don’t know why but to me it just doesn’t seem right to have it during the summer.

7. Candy Corn – perfect fall snack
I think that Halloween causes candy corn to become a favorite scent for fall. I actually really enjoy candles that smell like candy corn. I think that we just start eating it around Halloween then it just drifts over into fall and then eventually we put it down when winter time comes. My favorite brand of candy corn comes from Brach’s. They use honey and I think that’s why I enjoy there’s so much.

6. Pecan Pie – great with vanilla icecream
If you love pecan pie as much as I do then I am sure that you are not at all surprised to find this on the list. It tends to be a southern favorite during fall more than anything. I love to have pecan pie with hot chocolate. I think the two of them just go together. Pecan pie is also a nice treat to have during the middle of a fall day. Ice cream also really makes pecan pie and the two of them just go great together.

5. Pumpkin Pie – the perfect dessert on a chilly fall evening
I love all different kinds of pie but my top three favorite pies include pecan pie, pumpkin pie and apple pie. All of my top three pies that I love just so happens to really match the fall scene. This is another one of those types of pies that goes good with ice cream but ideally, I love putting cool whip on my pumpkin pie. It’s a great treat during the afternoon or makes for a nice dessert during the evening. You just can’t go wrong with pumpkin pie.

4. Cranberries – a must have during Thanksgiving
I think cranberries is something that you either love or hate. I enjoy the smell of cranberries but I also really like cranberries on Thanksgiving Day. There’s just something about having a nice turkey and cranberries on the side with it. It’s just not a completed Thanksgiving meal if you don’t have cranberries to enjoy. If you enjoy the smell of cranberries then try smelling a candle with the cranberry scent.

3. Cornbread – nice fall treat
I think that cornbread is another mainly southern tradition to have a lot of during fall but more so at Thanksgiving. Cornbread just goes great with soups or with almost any kind of warm meal. Sometimes cornbread makes for a great snack during the middle of a fall day when it’s kind of chilly out and you need something warm.

2. Apples
I can think of a lot of favorite foods for fall that have apples in them and smelling apples during fall is just nice and cozy. I love apple pie, apple cider and even apple dumplings. All of these just hit the spot whenever it’s slightly cold outside. I also sometimes just enjoy cooking my apples ever so slightly in the microwave and putting cinnamon on top of them which brings us to our number one scent for fall.

1. Cinnamon
Cinnamon is extremely popular during fall. It’s sprinkled on top of a variety of desserts such as apple pie. I also love cinnamon French toast. A sprinkle of cinnamon on top of applesauce even makes applesauce taste great. If you’ve never had apple cinnamon coffee cake muffins then you’re missing out on a treat. Cinnamon can even be sprinkled on top of some drinks. You can do so many things with cinnamon. No wonder this is one of the most popular smells during fall.
