Pumpkin spice season is nearly here, and to ring it in IKEA released the brand-new HÖSTAGILLE scented candle that looks just as delicious as it smells. Use it to set the autumn mood, or display it at the center of your table to create an inviting atmosphere. No matter how you work the Spiced Pumpkin candle into your space, it’s going to bring in those fall feels almost instantly.

What Is the HÖSTAGILLE Scented Candle?

According to the IKEA listing, the Spiced Pumpkin candle was designed to create “a snug atmosphere inspired by autumn dinners with family and friends.” And it definitely does just that, thanks to its gorgeous glass pumpkin shape. It’s not a true orange, but rather a rusty brown color that will fit into so many different styles.

When you take the lid off, two wicks are set into a 50% plant-based wax that offers about 40 hours of burn time. The scent has notes of pumpkin pie spices like nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon.

Why I Love It 

What makes this item so special is that it’s not just a candle. The vessel itself is a piece of decor that you can save for every fall season. It’s no wonder that it has a 4.9 rating on IKEA’s website. 

Shoppers are raving about the beautiful scent, saying, “It is light and not overpowering, so it’s best for a smaller room. After the candle was completely used up, I cleaned it out and now I use the jar for candies. Multi-purpose.”

If you want to expand your glass pumpkin candle collection after picking up the HÖSTAGILLE candle from IKEA, or if it’s not available at your location, then check out Pottery Barn’s figural pumpkin candle. Available in two sizes, this one smells like Harvest Spice, with notes of Ceylon cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, and allspice. Hungry yet?

While you’re sipping a PSL, you can breathe in one of the most iconic fall scents there is when you pick up and light the new pumpkin-shaped HÖSTAGILLE candle from IKEA. Because they’re just $9 each, you can grab one for every room in the house to ensure you’re never without that pumpkin spice scent.
