From coffee to candles, pumpkin is arguably the most popular scent for fall. And it’s not just about the fragrance. Pumpkin-scented candles have a way of making the room feel cozier.
Candles never go out of season, but with the holidays right around the corner, and Black Friday deals already in motion, now might be the perfect time to shop for scented candles.
