There's something about the first chilly evening of the year that makes us want to close the curtains, put the kettle on and light a candle. Autumn is the season for warm spices, ripe fruit and soft, golden light, and the right fragrance can make your home feel cosy in an instant. Here are our favourite autumn scents for this year.
Pumpkin Picking
Inspired by crisp days at the pumpkin patch, Pumpkin Picking blends sweet pumpkin with cinnamon and clove, a touch of orange and a soft vanilla base. It's warm and comforting without being overpowering, perfect for living rooms and kitchens.
Clementine Spice
If you love a citrus scent but want something warmer for the colder months, Clementine Spice is for you. Zesty clementine and sweet orange are warmed with cinnamon and clove for a bright, cheerful fragrance that carries beautifully into the festive season.
Winter Apple
Winter Apple pairs crisp apple with warm cinnamon, clove and ginger and a touch of caramelised sugar. Think freshly baked crumble on a Sunday afternoon.
A Colony classic: Pumpkin Spice
For a long-lasting autumn candle, our Colony Pumpkin Spice Large Jar Candle combines sweet pumpkin with cinnamon, ginger and clove on an amber and vanilla base, with up to 100 hours of burn time.
How to make your home feel cosy this autumn
- Layer your fragrance. Use a matching reed diffuser for all-day scent and light a candle in the evening for extra warmth.
- Light tealights in groups. A cluster of scented tealights on a tray or windowsill creates a lovely warm glow.
- Choose warm, spiced notes. Cinnamon, clove, orange and vanilla instantly feel seasonal.
- Bring in texture. Throws, cushions and soft lighting work hand in hand with fragrance to make a room feel inviting.
Each of our autumn scents is available as a medium candle, a 100ml reed diffuser and a pack of nine tealights. Explore the full autumn collection, or mix and match any two candles or reed diffusers in our autumn 2 for £12 offer.
