We Smelled (Almost) All of Bath & Body Works' Fall Candles. Here Are the Best.

Rating: 4/10

Tester notes:

• Accurate to its name... Perhaps a little too accurate. I found the fake blueberry a little overwhelming.
• Cloying artificial smell
• Too saccharine

Rating: 4.8/10

Tester notes:

• Christmas-y and sugary. I would wear it as a body lotion but don’t want my home to smell like it.
• The cherry and almond have a nice balance, but doesn't make me think of fall.

Rating: 5.8/10

Tester notes:

• I like that it's a more unique pumpkin scent. Smells very different from others thanks to the marshmallow and chocolate notes.
• Smells like sweet melted chocolate
• Would work for both winter and fall

Rating: 6/10

Tester notes:

• Smells like Mrs. Butterworth's syrup on pumpkin spice pancakes

Rating: 6.3/10

Tester notes:

• Not overly sweet and I am usually sensitive to that. I like the sleek packaging.
