As the nights draw in and the temperature starts to dip, many of us light scented candles in our homes feel a little warmer and cosier. While candle lovers know that pumpkin spice is often the scent that dominates autumn, the sweet smell isn’t to everybody’s taste.
Next is selling a Yankee Candle with a fragrance that offers a more subtle take on autumn, blending clove, lavender and eucalyptus woods for a scent inspired by a crisp autumn day. It could be a good option for anyone who isn’t a fan of the sweeter pumpkin-inspired scents that tend to fill shops as soon as September arrives.
Available to buy for £30 at Next, the Yankee Candle Autumn Daydream Signature Medium Jar 2 Wick Candle has a refreshing scent that is reminiscent of autumn strolls. With a burn time of up to 80 hours, the candle will bring a seasonal ambience for many a cosy evening.

According to Next, the fragrance notes include clove, clary sage and persimmon at the top, followed by rhubarb, lavender and geranium in the middle. The base combines eucalyptus woods and balsam, giving the candle a fresh, woody finish rather than the rich vanilla and cinnamon notes often associated with autumn.
The description paints a picture of taking a walk through the woods on a fresh autumn day. Its combination of woody, floral and spicy notes could make it a versatile choice for those who want their home to smell autumnal without being overly sweet.

It’s burning in my lounge and it gives off a eucalyptus waft every time I walk in there… even when not lit!”
