For some people, the beginning of October marks the official countdown to Halloween. If you're a beauty aficionado, however, it also means one thing: new fall beauty launches. Maybe it's the budding anticipation for holiday releases or the extra time you're probably starting to spend indoors, but regardless, this season of beauty-product drops just hits differently.

With the colder months hovering just right around the corner, a common theme we're looking at can be summed up in one word: rich. From decadent body oils, pumpkin-scented candles, and hydrating hair and face creams, there's something comforting about refreshing your beauty routine and cabinet this season. Should you also be an early bird, you can even get a head start on your holiday shopping and beat the crowds. A win-win.

To help make the narrowing-down process easier, POPSUGAR beauty editors have tried dozens (if not hundreds) of new product launches in order to recommend you the best of the best. If you're looking for a starting point, use this list to kick off your October beauty shopping. Keep reading ahead for the best new beauty launches this month.

Best Peptide Lip Tint
rhodeskin.com

Best Peptide Lip Tint

Rhode Peptide Lip Tint ($16)

"Rhode released tinted versions of the famous lip peptide treatments and I have fallen in love with this product all over again. The new shades include a few pinks and neutrals but to my surprise, my favorite shade has been Espresso, a deep brown." — Ariel Baker, assistant editor, beauty

Best Serum Foundation
sephora.com

Best Serum Foundation

Shiseido RevitalEssence Skin Glow Foundation SPF 30 ($56)

"I'm a big (big, big) fan of foundations that don't really feel like foundation. I want something with sheer coverage and a weightless feel, and the Shiseido RevitalEssence Skin Glow Foundation SPF 30 delivers. The skin-care-first formula contains prebiotics and niacinamide to brighten and nourish skin. Meanwhile, micro-capsules of makeup pigment give you an even, healthy glow." — Jessica Harrington, beauty editor

Best Matte Eyeshadow Palette
sephora.com

Best Matte Eyeshadow Palette

Patrick Ta Major Dimension III Matte Eyeshadow Palette ($70)

"I'm usually not very good with eyeshadow and I don't know if it's the way this palette is laid out or the quality of the formula, but I have been creating some incredible eye looks with it. The shadows blend seamlessly and the colors last on the lid all day long — especially when I use the cream bases that come with it. Patrick Ta has done it again with the entire Major Moments collection." — AB

Best Self-Adhesive Face Gems
ulta.com

Best Self-Adhesive Face Gems

Half Magic Iridescent Sparkle Self-Adhesive Face Gems ($12)

"Feel like a "Euphoria" girly with these easy-to-use face gems. I took these gems for a spin at Beyoncé's Renaissance show, and I felt like a shimmery diva who would make Donna Summer proud." — Jada Gomez, executive editor

Best Loose Powder Blush
sephora.com

Best Loose Powder Blush

Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder Blush ($43)

"Let me start out by saying that loose powder blush is not something I thought I needed in my routine. Still, the way every single one of these colors looks good on my skin tone and offers the same blurring properties as its famous face powder has me addicted. I have all of them staked next to my makeup kit because I just rotate based on my mood." — AB

Best Plumping Lip Balm
sephora.com

Best Plumping Lip Balm

The Inkey List Tripeptide Plumping Lip Balm ($13)

"If there's one product I'm always game to try, it's anything for my lips. I love chapstick, lip balms, glosses, and lipsticks, but my latest obsession has been lip plumpers. Sometimes though, the burn that comes with them can be a little intense, which is why I've been on the hunt for a product that plumps without the added spiciness. The Inkey List's Tripeptide Plumping Lip Balm fits the bill and then some. It keeps my mouth hydrated all day long, gives me a nice glossy shine, and enhances my pout." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Best Dewy Foundation
sephora.com

Best Dewy Foundation

Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation ($34)

"I finally got the chance to try the Glossier foundation and it definitely lives up to the hype. I consider it to be medium, buildable coverage and it leaves the most gorgeous dewy sheen behind. It feels very in line with the brand's no-makeup makeup philosophy, except I get the coverage that I want for my acne-scarred skin. A win-win." — AB

Read our full, in-depth Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation review.

Best Color Corrector
sephora.com

Best Color Corrector

Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Under Eye Color Corrector ($30)

"I never thought that it would be important for a color corrector to be full coverage but the moment I put this one on, I understood. It's the perfect orange shade for tan to deep skin and it covers like a concealer. I've been loving using it under my foundation over the past few weeks." — AB

Best Lip Gloss Oil
sephora.com

Best Lip Gloss Oil

Glossybounce High-Shine Hydrating Lip Gloss Oil ($22)

"I'm a big gloss girl and will admit that I have approximately 7 different ones in my purse at all times (I'm not exaggerating in the slightest). That said, despite having tried many, many formulas, the Glossybounce High-Shine Hydrating Lip Gloss Oil still blew me away. The texture is so thick and luxurious, it coats my lips in hydration and delivers a high-shine finish that isn't sticky. I love the sheer wash of color it gives your lips and how it feels on." — JH

Best Face Palette
sephora.com

Best Face Palette

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette ($90)

"When it comes to face palettes, Hourglass has the game on lock, especially if you prefer a luminous, not dewy, look. As it does every year, it came out with the six-pan holiday palettes recently and I've been using the Snake shade, which is the deepest one. From finishing powder to the blush and highlighter, every single pan gets used. They all leave behind this ethereal glow on my face that is just stunning." — AB

Best Brow Gel
rarebeauty.com

Best Brow Gel

Rare Beauty Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting Gel ($17)

"What I absolutely love about the Rare Beauty Brow Gel is that it offers a long-lasting hold but isn't extremely crunchy. Yes, the mega-crunch is usually the tradeoff for all-day wear but the brand seems to have cracked the code." — AB

Best Cream Eyeshadow
sephora.com

Best Cream Eyeshadow

Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Liquid Metals ($20)

"At this point, I don't think there's ever a day that goes by where I don't use a Danessa Myricks product in my makeup look. My latest obsession has been the brand's new Colorfix liquid metal shades, particularly the color Lilac Flame, a gorgeous silvery-y purple." — AB

Best Brown Mascara
nordstrom.com

Best Brown Mascara

Guerlain Noir G Volumizing & Curling Mascara ($34)

"Not only did this Guerlain product make me a fan of brown mascara again but the formula is next-level. As I do, I forgot that I had it on multiple times when wearing it and touched, rubbed, and tugged at my lashes. It doesn't budge one inch. 10/10 from me." — AB

Best Lip and Cheek Tint
blancosbeauty.com

Best Lip and Cheek Tint

Blancos Beauty Flush ($68)

"I'm a no-makeup makeup kind of girl, and there's nothing I love more than when skin care and makeup meet. Blanco's Flush is a tinted cheek and lip oil made with some of my favorite skin-care ingredients like squalane oil and camellia oil. It hydrates and works to improve my skin's texture, all while giving my face the most natural-looking glow. It's landed a permanent spot in my routine, and I can't wait to test out some of the brand's other offerings." — RR

Best False Eyelashes
sephora.com

Best False Eyelashes

Lilly Lashes Sheer Band False Eyelashes ($20)

"To me, Lilly Lashes has perfected the art of falsies for small eyes, and with this sheer-band line, it is easier than ever to throw on a strip and go. This one in 'Desirable; is extremely natural and can be layered to give a more 'bedroom eyes' effect." — AB

Best Matte Lipstick
sephora.com

Best Matte Lipstick

Armani Beauty Lip Power Long Lasting Lipstick ($45)

"I tried on a liquid lipstick the other day that immediately reminded me why it's so important to have comfort matte formulas on the market. I could practically feel my lips losing moisture the longer I kept it on, and it just underscored why I have been loving the Armani Lip Power line. The product glides on with zero tugging and it wears like a satin. If you're back in your matte-lipstick era, make a beeline for this one." — AB

Best Drugstore Lip Gloss
ulta.com

Best Drugstore Lip Gloss

CoverGirl Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss ($8, Originally $11)

"The Yummy Gloss line is an absolute gem of a find in the drugstore and Covergirl just came out with the Daylight Collection. The shade Moonlight Eclipse has been my go-to and if you love deep, brown-toned nude lip glosses I definitely think this is worth adding to you collection." — AB

Best Barrier Support Serum
sephora.com

Best Barrier Support Serum

The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum ($17)

"Don't get me wrong: I love the fall. What I don't love is what it does to my skin. There's only a slight chill in the air and I can already feel my skin getting tight and dry. The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum is a new addition to the brand and is geared toward repairing your skin's barrier, reducing redness, and boosting hydrating. AKA everything I need right now. It fits seamlessly into any skin-care routine and has the most amazing naturally pink hue." — JH

Best Night Cream
neimanmarcus.com

Best Night Cream

Sulwhasoo The Ultimate S Cream ($450)

"You'd think I'd be sick of talking about how much I love a thick night cream, but you'd be wrong. Converting people to the heavy cream path is basically my life's work. My latest obsession is this K-beauty hero that is jam-packed with the anti-aging ingredient, ginseng berry. The precious berry takes 1,000 days of cultivation, and Sulwhasoo formulated a proprietary extract that makes the berry 200 times more potent." — Aviel Kanter, director, branded content

Best Serum Sunscreen
rmsbeauty.com

Best Serum Sunscreen

RMS SuperNatural Radiance Serum SPF 30 Sunscreen ($48)

"Glowy, tinted sunscreens have been big for a while now, but I feel strongly that this is the first one to really, truly get it right. Here's why: it's hydrating enough that it can replace a moisturizer if your skin isn't overly dehydrated, it creates a pearlescent sheen but not like you accidentally plastered your face with highlighter, and although the tint is subtle — about half as much coverage as a tinted moisturizer — it definitely evens tone. Plus, it blends beautifully; five seconds of rubbing, and it's gone. It comes in three shades instead of one "universal" (which we all know is never cute), and I've been super happy with the sun protection even when running around outside on the weekends. I'm finally done testing glowy sunscreens; I found the one." — Dawn Davis, executive director, beauty

Best Serum Essence
us.orveda.com

Best Serum Essence

Orveda The Omnipotent Concentrate ($460)

"The Orveda The Omnipotent Concentrate is pricy, but boy, is it good. The gel-like serum contains 16 different actives to soothe, replenish, repair, and protect your skin. It targets all signs of aging, like dryness, fine lines, and dullness, and absorbs quickly, leaving behind a hydrated, cushy feel." — JH

Best Day Cream
guerlain.com

Best Day Cream

Guerlain Abeille Royale Honey Treatment Day Cream ($180)

"The Oussant Island Black Bees are doing some of their best work with this product. It's cushion-y without being overly thick (a must for a daytime moisturizer), looks flawless under SPF and makeup, and is perfect for those mornings when you're feeling a bit dry and lackluster." — AK

Best Coconut-Scented Lip Balm
amazon.com

Best Coconut-Scented Lip Balm

Eos 24H Moisture Super Balm ($10 for 2)

"If you're under the impression that a lip balm is a lip balm is a lip balm, you clearly haven't swiped on the delectable ointment that is this one from Eos. Not only does it give your lips that juicy shine you'd want from a gloss (only without the globby feeling), but it's also loaded with heavy-hitting hydrators like shea, cocoa, and avocado butters so you'll never have to worry about chapped or dry flakes. It comes in four yummy flavors, but my favorite has to be coconut for those cool fall days when I miss the beach." — Kelsey Castañon, beauty director

Best Anti-Aging Moisturizer
beautypie.com

Best Anti-Aging Moisturizer

Beauty Pie Super Healthy Skin Ultimate Anti-Aging Cream ($120)

"I swear by all things Beauty Pie, and this new cream ranks high in the winners' circle. Its rich texture is soothing for cooler fall nights; it makes my skin feel so luxurious after a long day. Run, don't walk, Beauty Pie fans." — JG

Best Eye Patches
sephora.com

Best Eye Patches

Augustinus Bader The Eye Patches ($22)

"These eye patches have become such a surprising staple in my routine. They are cooling and deeply hydrating, thanks to the hyaluronic acid used in the formula, but more importantly, they don't give me any milia." — AB

Best Hydrating Face Cream
payot.com

Best Hydrating Face Cream

Payot Gelée Hydratante Adaptogène ($57)

"The entire Payot Source range just feels amazing on the skin. The Gelée Hydratante Adaptogène is a bouncy gel-cream moisturizer packed with seaweed, Reishi mushroom, and hyaluronic acid. It envelopes your skin in hydration without that dreaded sticky feeling and protects against environmental aggressors." — JH

Best Eye Serum
ourself.com

Best Eye Serum

Ourself HA+ Replenishing Eye Serum ($220)

"I'm a big fan of the Ourself Lip Filler, so I was excited to test out the brand's latest innovation, the HA+ Replenishing Eye Serum. It's clinically proven to reduce dark circles as well as fine lines, which is something I'm in dire need of. So far, I've noticed that it keeps my under-eye area hydrated all day long, and it's the perfect product to use to prep the area before applying makeup." — RR

"The change in seasons has been messing with my sleep, and my under-eye area should show it. . . but it's not thanks to this eye cream. It magically erases dark circles, plumps up hollows, has a pretty luminescent finish, and it works beautifully under concealer. It's also safe to use on the eyelid, which is an area I've basically ignored my entire life. One thing's for sure: I'll be using this bottle to the very end." — DD

Best Travel Moisturizer
augustinusbader.com

Best Travel Moisturizer

Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream Mini ($92)

"The Augustinus Bader Rich Cream really needs no introduction — what makes this particular version special is the TSA-friendly size. Like most people, the end of the year is filled with lots of airport time and time away from typical beauty routines. This mini size bottle means I never need to be without my Rich Cream." — AK

Best Exfoliating Mask
facileskin.com

Best Exfoliating Mask

Facile Skin The Buzz ($42)

"I'm lucky enough to be able to see Facile's cofounder Dr. Nancy Samolitis at her clinic in Los Angeles, so I'm already a disciple of her skin-care methods. If you want an all-in-one, facial in a bottle treatment, her newest launch, The Buzz, is for you. It's got all the ingredients you need to reveal bright, even skin in just a few minutes: salicylic, glycolic, mandelic, and citric acids for removing dead skin, hibiscus and evodia rutecarpia for hydration, and saffron and pomegranate for easing inflammation." — AK

Best Resurfacing Mask
truebotanicals.com

Best Resurfacing Mask

True Botanicals Resurfacing Moisture Mask ($65)

"This True Botanicals mask is described as a facial in a jar, and that statement couldn't be more true. It's lactic acid-based, and every time I use it it leaves my skin glowing and refreshed. It's my favorite secret weapon the night before a big event or a date, because I always wake up with skin that looks like it just visited a spa. Plus, it only takes five minutes to see results, which is perfect since I'm always on the go." — RR

Best Sheet Mask
eswbeauty.com

Best Sheet Mask

Pumpkin Spice Oat Milk Calming Plant-Based Milk Mask ($7)

"Fall is the most delicious time of the year; I can't get enough of apple cider, fall-scented candles, and pumpkin spice. ESW's Pumpkin Spice Oat Milk Sheet Mask is such a cozy addition to my fall beauty routine. It smells delicious, and the nourishing ingredients fight breakouts, renew my summer skin, and give me a glowy complexion." — JG

Best Lip Mask
sephora.com

Best Lip Mask

Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask ($29)

"The Tatcha lip mask is already a staple for me but every year they come out with a new color. This year it's the shade Wisteria, a gorgeous berry-toned purple that is perfect for fall and winter." — AB

Best Facial Tanning Set
us.elemis.com

Best Facial Tanning Set

Elemis x Lux Unfiltered Hydrate + Tan Duo ($110)

"Please, do yourself (and your face) a favor and buy this duo immediately. Yes, it comes with a cute little pink toiletry bag, but the real gold is what's inside: the Lux Unfiltered Bronzing Drops and the Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Marine Cream. The bronzing drops are my go-to product for a healthy glow without the sun damage, and the cream is the perfect addition that will leave your skin softer and more hydrated than ever. I mix the two for a stunning bronze look that allows me to skip base makeup — what more could you ask for?" — RR

Best Shave Gel
mybillie.com

Best Shave Gel

Billie V Smoothuser ($12)

"Billie designed V Smooth to be used to shave down there, but I've been using it everywhere. The shaving jelly provides a nice slip for my razor to glide over, giving me a super closer shave. It's also fragrance-free and pH-balanced, so you don't have to worry about irritation." — JH

Best Body Lotion
sephora.com

Best Body Lotion

Herbivore Cloud Milk Coconut + Maca Firming Body Cream ($40)

"This body cream is the definition of THICK. It's like a dreamy whipped souffle — and smells good enough to eat, too. I especially like to use it after my nighttime bath so I can go to sleep smelling like a tropical vacation, and wake up with silky smooth skin." — AK

Best Exfoliating Body Cleanser
shop.deonlibra.com

Best Exfoliating Body Cleanser

Deon Libra Smoove Exfoliating Cleanser ($38)

"Deon Libra is a brand that has catapulted onto the beauty scene with immediate heavyhitters. The first was their Big Up Body Glaze, but their latest addition might be my favorite. It's a face and body cleanser that uses chemical exfoliants like a mild AHA and PHA blend, which in my eyes, is a recipe for success. I've started to incorporate it into my body routine once a week and I can't wait to see the results after long-term use." — AB

Best Foot Balm
exuviance.com

Best Foot Balm

Exuviance Exfoliating & Conditioning Foot Balm ($29)

"I'm trying to get better at taking care of my feet because essentially, they're the only part of my body that I don't religiously moisturize every day. But with the cold weather fast approaching, the Exuviance Exfoliating & Conditioning Foot Balm is helping me keep them feeling soft. It's not only hydrating, but it also contains a blend of potent acids to slough away dead skin cells, banishing any roughness." — JH

Best Body Butter
nabilak.com

Best Body Butter

Nabila K - Royal Wood Body Butter ($10)

"This body butter is a must-get for lovers of vanilla scents. The ingredients — shea butter, argan oil, and olive oil — and a light sandalwood scent perfectly complement a self-care Sunday." — JG

Best Dry Shampoo
sephora.com

Best Dry Shampoo

Bondi Boost HG Dry Shampoo ($25)

"A good dry shampoo launch is hard to come by, so I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across this one from Bondi Boost, which easily sopped up three-day-old oil without leaving a white cast on my brown hair. I also appreciate that it's infused with rosemary oil to soothe irritation on the scalp, but even more so for the spa-like scent." — KC

Best Hair Clips
crownaffair.com

Best Hair Clips

Crown Affair - The Clips ($54)

"A hair clip is just a hair clip, right? Not after you've met these strong-AF little guys from Crown Affair. The key to their muscle is the hidden set of teeth for extra internal grip. Just one of the clips is able to hold all my hair back for an entire day with no slippage — and can be used to help air dry (see Crown Affair's founder Diana Cohen explain her twist and clip method here). The new color, which mimics carrera marble is currently sold out, so make sure to get on the list for when they restock." — AK

Best Hair Gloss
livefreewell.com

Best Hair Gloss

Free Well Power Gloss ($34)

"Freewell's Power Gloss is the product I never knew I needed, but I'm so glad I found it. I apply it to my hair any time before I plan on swimming in the ocean, the pool, or if I'm just looking for a hair treatment that I know will leave my hair looking shiny and smooth. It's also great for slicked-back buns and treatment buns on the days when I feel like being lazy with my hair." — RR

Best Flyaway Smoothing Tool
dyson.com

Best Flyaway Smoothing Tool

Dyson Supersonic Flyaway Smoother ($60)

"Once I was so frustrated with a hair tie that was stuck and knotted in my hair so I took a pair of scissors and cut it out. As a result, I can sometimes look like a carrot when my hair is straight due to those little pieces that I like to call the world's most annoying flyaways. I'm not a big fan of the original smoothing attachment that comes with the Dyson Supersonic, but this new one is everything I didn't know I needed. It's almost like a heated brush so when I run it over my hair, the tension from the bristles pull down the hairs but the heat sets them in place and keeps them down. Add in a teensy bit of foam or mousse beforehand and those flyaways stand no chance." — AB

Best Dyson Airwrap Attachments
dyson.com

Best Dyson Airwrap Attachments

Dyson Airwrap Wide-Tooth Comb ($40)

"To know me is to know that I am in love with my Dyson Airwrap. There is absolutely nothing I love more than a good blowout, and it gives me exactly what I'm looking for every single time. The brand just launched a new version of its best-selling product with three attachments that I'm obsessing over — a diffuser, a wide-tooth comb, and a large round volumizing brush. The larger round brush is honestly better than anything I could have even dreamed up, and it's made my bouncy blowouts even better — something I didn't even know was possible." — RR

Best Apple Perfume
sephora.com

Best Apple Perfume

Ellis Brooklyn Apple Love Eau de Parfum ($110)

"I find most apple scents to be extremely cloying and hard to wear but this one from Ellis Brooklyn has just sprinted to the top of my favorites list. The apple note is apparent but it's tempered by additional notes of sugar cane and vanilla Madagascar, and smells more like a light gourmand scent than a sharp citrus. I love it." — AB

Best Oud Perfume
byredo.com

Best Oud Perfume

Byredo Rouge Chaotique ($350)

"There's nothing I love more than a Byredo scent, and the new Rogue Chaotique couldn't be more perfect. It has top notes of bergamot and lemon, as well as base notes of patchoud and heart notes of plum and praline. It's the perfect scent for going out at night — but only spritz it on if you're prepared to do a lot of talking with strangers — because the compliments won't stop rolling in." — RR

"It's safe to say that I am completely blown away by Rouge Chaotique. I am a crazy perfume oversprayer so hear me when I saw this one has beast-most level sillage. In fact, you likely only need two sprays when you wear it so this bottle will last you quite some time. It's slightly citrusy and syrupy but with a dark wood note that is simply divine. This is the perfume for when you're adulting heavily." — AB

Best Vanilla Perfume
boysmells.com

Best Vanilla Perfume

Boy Smells Vanilla Era Eau de Parfum ($98)

"Sometimes, the idea of wearing a vanilla-scented perfume can make me feel like a basic b*tch. I mean, it doesn't get any more basic than vanilla, right? Wrong. The Boy Smells Vanilla Era Eau De Perfume is anything but. It has notes of vanilla, but top notes of white tulip, and it honestly smells like a freaking dream. It's long lasting, and just two spritzes will get me through the entire day." — RR

"Boy Smell's Vanilla Era is another one of those scents that surprised me big time. While I love a good vanilla, the addition of floral notes like white tulip made me nervous because I am not a floral perfume person. Still, this perfume is perfectly balanced and is somehow creamy and sweet but still light and airy. It's really one of those fragrances you can wear year-round with no issues." — AB

Best Fresh Perfume
bloomingdales.com

Best Fresh Perfume

Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman Eau de Parfum ($254)

"Ex Nihilo has quickly become one of my favorite perfume brands over the last few months and every year it comes out with a new one that just takes my love up a notch. Last year it was Idle Hour, this year it's Blue Talisman, a super sexy scent that has notes of bergamot, ginger, musks, and ambrofix. The combination is intoxicating and perfectly toes the line between masculine and feminine, so anyone can wear it." — AB

Best Pumpkin-Scented Candle

Best Pumpkin-Scented Candle

Glasshouse Fragrances In Season Candle in Pumpkin Spice Cake ($55)

"I, for one, don't care how basic this sounds: I love all things fall. As soon as September hits, I fill my home with cozy notes of cinnamon, apple, and pumpkin. This year I'm loving the Glasshouse Fragrances In Season Candle in Pumpkin Spice Cake. Not only is the glass jar it's housed in absolutely beautiful, but it smells quite literally like a piece of pumpkin roll." — JH

Best High End Candle
bergdorfgoodman.com

Best High End Candle

The Harmonist Hypnotizing Fire Candle ($100)

"The Harmonist recently relaunched their best-selling candles: Hypnotizing Fire and Velvet Fire. However, this was my first time smelling them and I have not shut up about the former scent since. It's smoky, sweet, and sexy, all the notes I'd want in a normal perfume, but instead of me smelling like that it's my house, which feels just as satisfying to me." — AB

Best Fall-Scented Candle
nettenyc.com

Best Fall-Scented Candle

Nette Midnight Strike Scented Candle ($78)

"I am not usually a fan of the quintessential fall scents like pumpkin, but Nette's latest candle combines it with notes of almond Butter and tobacco, creating a scent that feels more chic and elevated — my kind of fall vibe." — AB

"I'm probably going to take a lot of heat for this, but I don't typically like anything pumpkin spiced. PSLs, pumpkin pie, seasonal candles — they're all just not my thing. But, some way, somehow, Nette made a fall, pumpkin-forward candle I can't get enough of. I think because it doesn't scream PUMPKIN SZN! Instead, notes of almond butter, tobacco, and sandalwood are all mixed in as well. Midnight Strike is officially the only seasonal candle I'm interested in." — AK

Carriere Freres Scented Taper Candles
carrierefreres.com

Carriere Freres Scented Taper Candles

Carriere Freres Scented Taper Candles ($44)

"OK, why aren't there more luxury scented taper candles? Why am I just learning about this? The 140-year old candle maker Carrière Frères just introduced a taper candle in four lovely scents — each in an equally lovely muted color. My favorite of the bunch is the jasmine scent, but you can also choose from tomato, spearmint, and cedar." —AK
