Savoring the End of Summer: Scent Notes for the Seasonal Shift

We’re still soaking up summer’s golden glow—but there’s a subtle whisper of fall in the air. And scent? It’s the perfect way to transition from one season to the next.

At Forgotten & Found, we’re reaching for fragrance blends that hold onto summer’s warmth while gently ushering in autumn’s cozy rhythms. These are the candle scents that we’re loving right now.

Wander: Ripe Fig + Mahogany

Wander captures that late-summer-to-early-fall moment with earthy richness. The ripe fig brings juicy warmth, while the deep mahogany adds a woody, grounded feel. It smells like an August sunset—sweet, sultry, and just a little bit mysterious.

Joshua Tree: Desert Rain + Juniper

Inspired by the high desert, Joshua Tree blends creosote and juniper for a scent that’s fresh, herbal, and nostalgic. Think desert rain, dry herbs, and open skies. It’s the perfect candle for those last warm evenings with the windows open.

Alchemy: Santal (Sandalwood)

Smooth, creamy, and grounding—Alchemy is like a soft sweater for your senses. Santal (sandalwood) brings an introspective calm that nods to fall without rushing the season. No pumpkin spice here—just quiet, luxurious warmth.

As we shift seasons, we’re also drawn to scent notes like:

  • Amber

  • Vanilla

  • Cedarwood

  • Dried florals

These cozy, natural fragrances are like candlelight for your senses—perfect for slow mornings, golden afternoons, and early evenings curled up at home. We would love to know - Which scent is calling to you right now?
