I’m in My Luxury Era—9 Candles That Are Making My Home Feel Like a Cosy Escape This Autumn

Key notes: Peach, plum, vanilla, patchouli. peony, violet, leather

First up, both I and Who What Wear UK beauty editor Eleanor Vousden call upon this candle every autumn to create a cosy atmosphere. "Byredo's Bibliothèque is my ultimate autumn candle," Vousden says. "It smells of a roaring log fire in a library full of old, leather-bound books. It makes my living room feel cosy whenever I light it."

Key notes: Lavender, eucalyptus

If you like a calming, spa-like scent for the autumn months, then you will love this candle from Cowshed. I bring this out every single autumn, as it's the perfect scent to help me slow down after a busy summer. The lavender notes are rich and warming, while eucalyptus adds this wonderfully invigorating element.

Key notes: Pink pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, olibanum, cedarwood, moss, fir

This is the candle equivalent of an autumnal walk on a sunny day, with fallen leaves crunching underfoot. Cedarwood and moss create a woody, earthy atmosphere, topped with a warming haze of cardamom.

Key notes: Bergamot, orange, mandarin, neroli

I know these notes might seem like an odd choice for autumn, but when it's dark and cloudy outside and you need a bit of a boost, this is the perfect pick-me-up scent. Zesty bergamot and sparkling mandarin make my space feel fresh and revitalised, and add a spring in my step when I need it most.

Key notes: Coffee, whipped cream, caramel

I'll be honest, H&M candles don't always last as long or project their scent as well as luxury options, but at just £7, I don't mind buying a few of them to have dotted around the house. My autumn scent of choice is Spiced Latte, with notes of rich coffee and sweet caramel. Burning this feels like walking straight into Starbucks for the first Pumpkin Spiced Latte of the season.

Key notes: Frankincense, incense

Loewe's candles have had editors swooning ever since they came on the interiors scene. While there are plenty of beautiful options for the autumn months, I am currently loving this particular scent thanks to its woody, fresh aroma. In my opinion, it's the perfect scent to burn to help welcome in the start of a new season.

Key notes: Leather, sandalwood, amber

I recently got my hands on the Malin + Goetz Leather Eau de Parfum, and the scent has convinced me to buy this candle ASAP. Not only will it look incredibly stylish in my home, but the musky, intimate leather scent is just perfect for this time of year.

Key notes: Amber, tonka bean

I have this scent from Diptyque in both the candle and diffuser, as I just can't get enough. It smells like the warm aroma of a Parisian bakery on a chilly autumn morning, luring you in with the promise of delicious pastries. Don't be fooled, though, as woody notes keep it from being overly sweet.

Key notes: Musk, bergamot, jasmine, orange flower, sandalwood

Phlur's Missing Person Eau de Parfum went viral thanks to its ability to evoke memories of a loved one, and this candle is just as comforting. The warm, musky, floral aroma makes me want to snuggle up under a cashmere blanket with a steaming cup of herbal tea.
