La Jolie Muse Pumpkin Chai Candle

There is a magical moment each year when you are officially allowed to announce sweater weather, even if it is still a little warm outside. Light this candle and you can declare that moment open, no calendar permission required.

The scent blends cozy pumpkin with sweet vanilla and warm chai, so your living room smells like a crisp afternoon spent wrapped in a blanket with a good book. It is poured from natural soy wax into a large glass jar with intricate detailing, which means it looks gorgeous on a coffee table before you even strike a match. It is also made for long, leisurely burns, perfect for movie marathons and slow Sunday mornings. Bonus charm: it comes from a small business that focuses on candles and home fragrances.

Reviewers report the pumpkin scent is amazing and actually lasts, and that the candle burns clean. Buyers also love that it arrives nicely packaged and that the pretty jar is reusable, with one fan planning to turn it into a flower vase once the wax is gone. Second life, unlocked.

Best for: Thanksgiving tables, cozy reading corners and anyone who starts craving fall the second August ends.
