WHAT'S THAT SMELL? | SEASONAL SCENTS

BEST FALL CANDLES

Fall doesn't whisper here. It smells like dark, smoky nightclubs, bonfires, caramel popcorn, and game-day air. Forget pumpkin spice! This is the season for scents with personality... the kind that take over a room and remind you why you love the chill of autumn.

Here's how we burn through fall with the best fall candles, in Sonicglow style, of course.

There’s something about fall that shifts the air. Cooler mornings, golden light and that familiar pull toward comfort and memory. The season itself feels scented — woodsmoke curling from chimneys, fallen leaves underfoot, and a hint of spice drifting from the kitchen.

Whether it’s the first crisp days of September or the deep calm of late November, fall is when scent takes center stage. It’s the time of year when you crave warmth, depth, and a spark of nostalgia in the air.

The right candle doesn’t just scent a room — it changes the mood, rewires a memory, and brings the season to life.

Here’s what defines a great fall candle, plus a few Sonicglow favorites that capture the feeling all year long.

The right candle doesn't just scent a room. It changes the mood, rewires a memory and brings the season to life.

What makes a great candle for fall

Warm & grounding notes

Amber, sandalwood, patchouli and musk add depth and comfort that balance cooler weather and shorter days.

Nostalgic gourmands

Caramel, chocolate, butter, and spices pull you straight back to kitchens, fall festivals or nights around the fire.

Dark & atmospheric accents

Smoky oud, leather and plum bring mood and mystery for anyone who prefers depth over sweetness.

Set the scene

Some candles belong in the kitchen, others in your living room or workspace. Fall is the perfect time to mix, match and layer scents depending on mood and space.

With that in mind, these Sonicglow scents turn the season into a full-blown sensory experience.

OHIO FALL

SCENT STORY

Crisp air, marching bands in the distance, and a sea of scarlet and gray. Ohio Fall captures the sound and scent of Midwest game days and long-standing traditions. It smells like autumn leaves, Buckeyes and college game days — comforting, nostalgic and just the right kind of loud.

FRAGRANCE NOTES

Warm chocolate and creamy peanut butter swirl together over cedar and spiced cider. Cozy, irresistible, and full of hometown pride.

PAIR IT WITH

Game-day playlists, a soft hoodie, a plate of Buckeyes and someone yelling “O-H!” from across the room.

KILLING MOON

SCENT STORY

Killing Moon is moody, dark, and a little dangerous — a candle built for nights that never play it safe. Inspired by the punk and post-punk energy of the late ’70s and ’80s, it channels smoky clubs, DJs spinning vinyl and rebellion that refused to fade. Light it up when you want something real. Something that lingers.

FRAGRANCE NOTES

Patchouli and leather create a moody base, lifted by clove, nutmeg and vanilla. A trace of pumpkin flesh, rum, and smoky woods brings it all into focus

PAIR IT WITH

Echo & The Bunnymen, The Cure or Bauhaus on vinyl and long, memorable nights that blended into early morning hours.

STICKY POPCORN

SCENT STORY

Sticky Popcorn fills the room with cozy movie-night nostalgia — the smell of caramel melting over fresh popcorn and the faint buzz of Halloween excitement. It’s the sweetness of childhood and the comfort of home, bottled for the season.

FRAGRANCE NOTES

Warm, buttery popcorn drizzled with caramel and brown sugar, wrapped in toffee, malt, and vanilla. Sweet, playful and perfectly nostalgic.

PAIR IT WITH

A vintage horror flick, fuzzy blanket, crackling fire and a bowl of homemade sticky popcorn, just like Mom used to make.

FALL = MEMORY SEASON

Whether you’re into crunchy leaves and soft, warm sweatshirts or eyeliner nights and dark, smoky nightclubs, Sonicglow’s scent-memory candles are built for memory and mood.

They’re bold, layered and made to burn through the ordinary.

Live Loud. Burn Bright 🖤
