Fall into Fall
It’s Fall!I’m going to let you in on a little secret… I absolutely adore fall scents. If you come to my house you’ll smell cinnamon, vanilla and even some pumpkin spice throughout the year. I can’t get enough. I just love walking into a house that smells spicy and warm, even if it’s 80 degrees outside. In fact, I even have a cinnamon scented candle on my desk!
It can be hard to find these scents outside of fall though. As soon as September hits it seems like the stores are full of deliciously scented candles, plug-ins and potpourri. I use this as an excuse to stockpile! How else can I get my pumpkin fix in mid July?
This September was no different. I went on my pilgrimage to Target ready to buy out their entire supply! I always throw the Pumpkin Spice candles in my basket. Those are a time-tested favorite of mine. I also bought the triple layered soy version, which is such a great, long –lasting candle.
This year, though I decided to try a few new varieties.
I’m a plug-in addict. Name a brand and I’ve tried it. I love them. I seriously have lots of empty holders and packets of unopened refills under my sink. During my normal browsing of the air-freshener aisle I noticed that Febreze has a plug in with alternating scents.
I am a huge fan of Febreze. I love their candles. They last forever and, unlike some candles, they actually smell while burning. I picked up the Autumn Spice & Harvest version of the Noticeables plugin and grabbed the Air Effects in Autumn Spice & Crisp. Delicious!
I’m definitely going to stock up on these before the scents retire. A quick peek at the Febreze website and I see all sorts of yummy holiday flavors are coming!
My obsession with scent doesn’t stop there though. I noticed an apple and spice scented dish washing liquid by Dawn so I just had to have it. Now I can have a lovely waft of my favorite scent while I’m scrubbing pots and pans. Even better, this one has an open bottom so it works as an air freshener as well!
Do you use scented candles and plugins to add to the homey feel of your house? What’s your favorite scent?

I LOVE plug-ins. I have one in every room of the house! I also love fall scents. The kitchen and living room right now have apples and cinnamon scents, in fact. Our bedroom has a Febreeze Noticibles plug-in, and I agree--they are fantastic! I really should buy one for every room, but I am too cheap.
Autumn is by far my favorite season, and the scents that come with it are the ones that make me feel the most at home.
Noooooo. Plugging OIL into an ELECTRIC outlet always seemed like a bad idea to me, and since then, I've heard that they are infamous with fire-fighters for starting really vicious fires.
Beeswax candles actually clear the air (positive ion generators) and smell like honey. If you want a different scent (like cinnamon... mmmm...) once you have a little pool of wax, snuff the flame for a second, put a drop of essential oil in the melted wax (NOT the wick) and relight... natural & chemical free scenting!
