This post is all about the best fall movies and fall candle pairings!

1. You've Got Mail + Autumn Heirloom 🍂

There’s just something about You've Got Mail that feels like the quintessential fall movie. Maybe it's the New York City backdrop with its gorgeous fall foliage, or the warm, feel-good romance between Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.

To complement this classic, I always go for our Autumn Heirloom scent. With its creamy vanilla, warm spices, and pumpkin brûlée, it smells just like a delicious autumn dessert and adds a comforting, nostalgic feel to the whole experience.

2. Dead Poets Society + Forest Fern 🌲

For a more introspective movie night, I love watching Dead Poets Society. It’s a film that makes you think deeply, appreciate life’s moments, and, of course, whisper “Carpe Diem” to yourself.

When I’m in that kind of mood, I reach for Forest Fern. Its earthy, woodsy notes make me feel like I’m wandering through a misty forest or walking across a New England campus in the fall. This pairing is perfect if you're looking for a movie night with a bit more depth and soul.

3. Hocus Pocus + Ginger Pumpkin 🎃

No fall season is complete without a little bit of Halloween fun, and Hocus Pocus is a must-watch every year. It brings all the nostalgia, laughs, and a touch of spookiness that I love.

I love lighting up Ginger Pumpkin while watching the Sanderson sisters wreak havoc in Salem.

It has the perfect mix of sweet and spicy, just like a fall festival, and makes me feel like a kid again with every watch.

4. When Harry Met Sally + Pear Cider 🍐

For a movie that feels like a warm hug, When Harry Met Sally is always on my list. The witty dialogue, the romance, and those iconic autumn scenes in New York make it an all-time favorite for fall.

I pair it with a Pear Cider candle, which has sweet and fruity notes that match the lighthearted charm of the film. It’s the perfect combo for a cozy, feel-good evening at home.
