6 Cozy Fall Scents to Refresh Your Home

I always have candles burning around me — in fact, I have one lit right now! There's just something about fall that evokes warm evenings spent reading, accompanied by a favorite scent to enhance the ambiance.

When searching for luxurious home fragrances, whether candles, diffusers, or room sprays, my top destination is Net-a-Porter. Their selection not only elevates your space but also makes thoughtful gifts for friends and family during the holiday season.

Here's my curated list of the finest home fragrance options available now.

6 Cozy Fall Scents to Refresh Your Home

LOEWE Mushroom Home Fragrance

While mushrooms may seem like an odd choice for a home fragrance, hear me out. Fall is the peak season for mushrooms, and even if you're not a fan of them as food, a quick spritz of this fragrance before guests arrive can instantly create an inviting atmosphere. This scent is far from ordinary mushroom; it's a delightful blend of woody and aromatic notes with a hint of floral sweetness from patchouli. You might want to try creating your own homemade room spray as a fun activity while hosting friends this season.

TRUDON Ernesto Reed Diffuser

This diffuser was featured in our roundup of the best reed diffusers, and I can't think of a better time than fall to invest in it. It offers a long-lasting fragrance that is powerful without being overwhelming. Yes, it comes with a hefty price tag, but if you're looking for a truly luxurious gift for someone special (or yourself), this diffuser is ideal for cozy nights in. It features notes of rum, amber, leather, and tobacco and its vintage-inspired glass vessel adds elegance to your home decor. Just flip the reeds when the scent begins to fade for an instant refresh.

L'OBJET Lito Scented Candle

Is there a more stunning candle than this one? This exquisite gift idea comes in a handcrafted vessel made of 24-karat gold and Limoges porcelain, featuring a resin evil eye — the signature of Greek jeweler Lito Karakostanoglou. The lid preserves its fragrance, which includes earthy notes of vetiver, citrus, and moss, providing an impressive burn time of around 50 hours. Make sure to check out what to do with a candle jar after it's burned out, so you can repurpose it creatively around your home.

LOEWE Beetroot Scented Candle

This unique candle from Loewe has an intriguing beetroot scent that can elevate your Thanksgiving and Christmas table settings. Its deep burgundy color is made from 100% vegetable wax and features a cotton wick for a clean burn. I love that it comes with a holder made from the same wax that will burn away with the candle — perfect for those with limited storage. If beetroot doesn't appeal to you, there are also options available in Cucumber, Ivy, and more on Net-a-Porter.

TRUDON Under the Trees Scented Candle

I can't resist a limited edition scent, and this one is truly special, featuring refreshing notes of cucumber and spearmint combined with a musky cedarwood base. The cedarwood adds depth, making this fresh fragrance a unique addition for fall. Handcrafted in Tuscany, the glass vessel is stunning, and this candle boasts a burn time of about 60 hours, making it worth the investment. It comes in a lovely presentation box, perfect for gifting this holiday season. This candle is made with a blend of vegetable and mineral wax for a non-toxic home scent.

LA DOUBLEJ Milano Scented Candle

This art deco-inspired candle from La DoubleJ is my last autumnal favorite, infused with jasmine, bergamot, sandalwood, cedar, and peppercorn, with a burn time of around 45 hours. Just imagining it on my coffee table is enough to convince me it's a worthy pick for easy fall decorating. Designed to capture the essence of sunny Milan, it's one of my top home fragrance tricks to combat the winter blues. While I adore fall, sometimes I need a gentle reminder of summer to get through those longer winter nights.
