Scent is one of the most powerful triggers of memory. And surrounding ourselves with a fragrance is one way to transport ourselves back in time. Or to help us seal in precious memories of the present. With that in mind, we’ve curated a list of the best luxury-scented candles with the fragrance of fall and Thanksgiving this year.
luxury scented candles perfect for Thanksgiving
It’s no secret that we love Thanksgiving here at Dandelion Chandelier. The delectable food and delicious wines, the beautiful tablescapes featuring gorgeous seasonal flowers. And of course, the sweet hum of family, dear friends and good tunes as everyone gathers around the table to celebrate.
But there is one more element to our festivities that we’ve neglected to cover in our preparations for the big day – scent. And when it comes to eating and drinking, selecting the right match is essential. From a dud candle to an overpowering kitchen aroma, an off smell can be, well, off putting.
It should come as no surprise that when hosting a gathering as important as Thanksgiving, your scent selection is imperative. Intense fragrances affect your sense of taste and therefore, the enjoyment of your meal. And anyone who has been sat next to an over perfumed aunt or distant cousin knows what we are talking about. That means not just any fall essence will do.

Instead, opt to limit overpowering fragrances and consider the type of gathering you are hosting. Just the two of you for turkey? Romantic bouquets of rose are always a good idea. Or if you are celebrating a child home from their first semester away at college, choose an uplifting fragrance in the fruity and fresh family to set the tone of celebration. And you can never go wrong with warm, earthy or otherwise spicy notes that people associate with the kick off of the holiday season.
So what types of scented candles fit the bill? Here are our 10 favorite scented candles to help put the finishing touches on your Thanksgiving celebration this year.
