As I prepare to hunker down for fall, I have to ask myself two important questions: Do I really need more scented candles? And can I fit any more on the already crowded surfaces in my apartment?
While the answer to both is probably obvious, that doesn’t stop me from hunting down the best candles for my collection – and the Ceramic Scalloped Rim Jar Candle from Hearth & Hand with Magnolia has completely won me over.
Part of Joanna Gaines' fall 2025 collection at Target, the candle offers a fresh take on one of this year’s biggest interior design trends: scalloped edges. With its subtle ribbed finish, it nods to a trendy silhouette while still feeling distinctive and unique.
At just $15, this candle is a fall must-have. I’m obsessed with the bold maroon hue and the warm, woodsy scent of oak and persimmon, but there are plenty of other options to explore: the Harvest Chestnut candle features a rich chocolate-colored finish, while the Leather & Tonka scent comes in a sleek taupe holder. Best of all, each candle boasts an impressive burn time of 36 hours, making them as practical as they are stylish.
I love that Joanna Gaines’ Ceramic Scalloped Rim Jar Candle is both compact and elegant, with a warm, woodsy scent that’s perfect for the harvest season.
But there’s more than meets the eye: with two wooden wicks, lighting this candle treats you to a gentle crackle reminiscent of a cozy fireplace. And once the wax has fully melted, you’re left with a gorgeous, reusable jar – perfect for adding a touch of style long after the candle is gone.
‘This candle smells like heaven,’ reads one review of Joanna Gaines’ Ceramic Scalloped Rim Jar Candle on the Target site. ‘I love the crackling wick and the chic jar,’ adds another. ‘It smells like every bit of fall in the best possible way.’
With its classic seasonal design and an earthy fragrance perfectly balanced by a touch of sweetness, I have a feeling this candle will easily earn a spot on my list of the best fall candles of the year.
