Transitioning Your Home from Fall to Holiday Scents
As the leaves fall and cozy autumn days give way to twinkling lights and festive gatherings, it’s time to give your home the same seasonal refresh you give your décor. One of the simplest—and most effective—ways to make that transition is through scent.
From Pumpkin to Pine
Fall is all about comfort—warm spices, baked treats, and that nostalgic touch of campfire air. As we move into the holidays, those rich, cozy scents can evolve into something a little more fresh and festive.
Try swapping your pumpkin and cinnamon fragrances for notes of evergreen, cranberry, amber, and clove. The key is balance—blend warmth with brightness to bridge the two seasons naturally.
Create a Seasonal Scent Story
Think of your home’s fragrance journey as a story. Start with comforting, spicy base notes in your living spaces (like Bonfire or Evergreen + Embers), then move to fresh, uplifting scents in high-traffic areas such as your entryway or kitchen (think Citrus, Balsam, or Cranberry).
By layering your fragrances, you can carry a sense of holiday cheer throughout your home without losing that cozy, welcoming fall feel.
Simple Styling Tips
-
Mix autumn textures—like knits and wood—with metallic holiday accents for an easy décor bridge.
-
Place candles of varying heights on mantles and tables to create soft, glowing layers of light.
-
Pair your favorite fall scent with one holiday-inspired candle for a unique blend that evolves as you burn them together.
Why It Matters
Scent is memory. As you shift from fall gatherings to festive celebrations, a new fragrance palette helps set the stage for meaningful moments. So light a candle, get cozy, and let your home tell the story of the season—one scent at a time.
