In the viral words of Richard from Gilmore Girls, “I am an Autumn.” As a Summer Baby, I’ve always thrived in the sunshine season. However, I’ve recently concluded that Fall is my favorite season. It’s the time of the year when I glow the most, feel the coziest, bake continuously, and enjoy connecting with those I cherish. 

Autumn comes with comforting sensory experiences that I look forward to every year— from the feeling of crackling leaves underfoot to the taste of warm apple cider and the cozy aroma of fresh pumpkin pie wafting through the kitchen.

Besides its fun activities and flavors, Fall is also known for its warm and cozy scents. The aroma of cinnamon, pumpkin spice, freshly grated ginger, and a splash of vanilla immediately brings the season to life. 

To reflect the season, I love to switch over my fragrances— from personal care items to scents for my home. Looking to do the same? Check out my recommendations for embracing the warmth of the season!
