How to Make Your Home Smell Like Pumpkin Pie
Is there anything better than the smell of pumpkin pie filling your home on a crisp fall day?
Pumpkin, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and warm spices instantly make a space feel like autumn. But here’s the best part: you don’t have to spend all afternoon baking to get that cozy, fresh-from-the-oven fragrance.
With Candle Warmers Etc. fall Wax Melts, Wax Warmers, and WallScents®, you can create a pumpkin pie-inspired fragrance throughout your home — no oven required.
Consider this our recipe for making your home smell like pumpkin pie all season long.
The Pumpkin Pie Wax Melt Recipe 🥧
First up is our favorite fall fragrance recipe.
Instead of warming just one fragrance, combine two pumpkin favorites to create a custom blend that’s sweet, spicy, and made for autumn.
What You’ll Need:
1 Apothecary Illumination Fragrance Warmer
2 cubes Sweet Pumpkin Pie Artisan Wax Melt
2 cubes Pumpkin Spice Wax Melt
A whole lot of cozy fall vibes
Add the wax melt cubes to your Apothecary Illumination Fragrance Warmer and let the fragrances melt together.
Sweet Pumpkin Pie features cinnamon stick, clove, nutmeg, pumpkin purée, orange peel, vanilla, and maple syrup, while Pumpkin Spice brings another layer of pumpkin and warm spice into your space. Candle Warmers
The result? A cozy, bakery-inspired fragrance perfect for those days when you want your entire home to smell like you’ve been baking pumpkin pie.
No mixing bowl required!
Sweet Pumpkin Pie Artisan Wax Melts
The star of our recipe is the Sweet Pumpkin Pie Artisan Wax Melt.
This 2.5 oz soy-blend wax melt combines the classic fragrances of pumpkin pie with warm cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, orange peel, vanilla, and maple syrup. Each package contains six cubes, making it easy to create your own fragrance combinations. Candle Warmers
Use Sweet Pumpkin Pie by itself when you’re craving something warm and bakery-inspired, or use two cubes with two cubes of Pumpkin Spice for our pumpkin pie fragrance recipe.

Add a Little Pumpkin Spice
Every good pumpkin pie needs a little spice.
Our Pumpkin Spice Classic Wax Melts combine fresh pumpkin and sweet vanilla cream with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, orange peel, and maple syrup. The 2.5 oz package contains six cubes and provides up to 30 hours of melt time. Candle Warmers
When paired with Sweet Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Spice helps create that warm, spiced fragrance we associate with freshly baked fall treats.
It’s also a fall classic all on its own. Warm it while you’re decorating for autumn, watching a cozy movie, hosting friends, or enjoying a slow weekend morning at home.

Warm It in the Apothecary Illumination Fragrance Warmer
Now we need the perfect warmer for our recipe.
The Apothecary Illumination Fragrance Warmer brings vintage-inspired style to your fall décor with amber-colored glass, an old-fashioned medicine-jar shape, and an Edison-style warming bulb.
Simply add your scented wax melts to the removable dish and let the electric warmer gently release their fragrance while creating a cozy glow. Candle Warmers
The rich amber glass looks especially beautiful alongside pumpkins, natural wood, dried leaves, and warm fall colors, making this warmer part fragrance experience and part seasonal décor.

Create a Fall Fragrance Throughout Your Home
One of our favorite things about fall home fragrance is that you don’t have to use the exact same product in every room.
Start with the Apothecary Illumination Fragrance Warmer in your kitchen or living room and add your Sweet Pumpkin Pie + Pumpkin Spice combination.
Then add the Maple Leaf WallScents® with Pumpkin Spice Fragrance Oil to your hallway, bathroom, or entryway.
Finish everything off with pumpkins, cozy blankets, warm lighting, fall leaves, and a mug of something warm.
