As soon as the leaves begin to turn and the evenings draw in, one scent dominates the season: Pumpkin Spice.
It's the fragrance of cosy afternoons, chunky knit jumpers, warm drinks and homes filled with comforting autumn aromas. But not all pumpkin candles are created equal.
Many pumpkin fragrances lean heavily into sweetness, creating scents that can feel overly sugary or artificial. While that style certainly has its fans, we wanted to create something different.
Something earthier.
Something spicier.
Something that captured the feeling of autumn itself.

The best pumpkin spice candles balance warmth and comfort without becoming overpoweringly sweet.

Our Take On Pumpkin Spice
When creating Pumpkin & Clove, we wanted to move away from the dessert-inspired pumpkin scents that dominate the market.
Instead, we focused on the earthy richness of real pumpkins and paired it with bold clove, warming cinnamon and comforting nutmeg.
The result is a fragrance that feels sophisticated, inviting and unmistakably autumnal.
Pumpkin 🎃
Earthy and smooth, providing a rich seasonal foundation.
Cinnamon & Nutmeg 🌰
Warm, spiced and comforting with a classic autumn feel.
Clove 🍂
Bold and aromatic, adding depth and rustic character.
Together, these notes create a candle that fills your home with seasonal warmth without overwhelming the space with sweetness.
The Perfect Candle For Halloween Season
Pumpkin & Clove was designed for everything we love about autumn.
Picture crisp evenings wrapped in a blanket.
A favourite witchy movie playing in the background.
Rain tapping softly against the windows.
A warm drink in hand.
As the candle burns, rich pumpkin mingles with warming spices, creating an atmosphere that feels cosy, calm and comforting.
Why Pumpkin Spice Continues To Be Autumn's Favourite Scent
Pumpkin spice has become synonymous with autumn because it captures everything we crave during the colder months.
Warmth.
Comfort.
Nostalgia.
Home.
Whether you're decorating for Halloween, hosting friends, or simply enjoying a quiet evening indoors, a pumpkin spice candle instantly transforms the atmosphere of a room.
And for those looking for a more balanced, spice-forward interpretation of pumpkin, Pumpkin & Clove offers a refreshing alternative to overly sweet seasonal fragrances.
