It makes sense that the smells of fall are so nostalgic and cozy: scents connect directly with our brain’s limbic system, where memories are stored. A fire may warm up a place, but a well-selected scent can make your house feel like an autumnal wonderland. Give your home a quick and easy seasonal vibe with these autumn aromas at Walmart.

Warm Apple Pie Mainstays Three-Wick

Price: $3.96

If you enjoy candles that smell like dessert, this is a great and cost-efficient option. With notes of orchard apples, cranberry, nutmeg, and clove, it’s a scent that will work well into the fall season.

Maple Pumpkin Latte Mainstays Three-Wick

Price: $3.96

This three-wick from Mainstays is another sweet option. This price point is low enough that it might make sense to just buy one in each scent.

Intense Farm and Apple Pumpkin Wooden Wick Candle

Price: $10.83

There are candle people, and then there are intense candle people. If you want your spouse to smell what you’re burning as soon as they pull into the driveway, these soy candles are the ticket. Plus, they burn for 50 hours apiece — that’s a lot of autumn intensity!

Febreze Pumpkin Roll Plug In Air Freshener

Price: $9.94

A simple solution for kitchens, bathrooms, or anywhere else with a heavy odor load to bear, these pumpkin roll plugins from Febreze are as utilitarian as they are pleasant and homey. Plus, the two-roll pack makes it easy to add scent to large spaces or multiple areas of the house.

Lush Lavender Bath Bomb

Price: $1.00

As the days get shorter, the baths get longer — ideally, anyway. Lavender may not be a traditional autumn scent, but studies have shown that the plant’s oil helps us relax. At one buck a pop, a supply of these (and a stack of books to read in the bath) sounds like the ideal fall.

Yankee Autumn Leaves Concentrated Room Spray

Price: $10.00

This spray has notes of birch, juniper berry, and maple leaves. It may not be the same as a walk through the woods, but it will help you walk into your teen’s bedroom unscathed.
