1. Spicy Sensations: Cinnamon

One of the defining features of Fall is the abundance of spicy scents that fill the air. Cinnamon is the perfect Fall fragrance that is very comforting.

The changing leaves and the earthy aroma of the forest inspire us to turn to woodsy scents during the Fall. The sandalwood aroma is like a walk through the woods on a cool, crisp day. Sandalwood is not only evocative but also grounding, making it the ideal choice for the Autumn season.
