Yes!! Let’s talk! Real fall aroma = cinnamon sticks, dried orange slices, and pinecones. No faux pumpkin needed! :tangerine::evergreen_tree:

Myth: PSL is the only fall scent. Fact: Apple cider, fresh baked goods, and burning wood are also total autumn mood setters. :fire::pie:

Minimalist fall decor is a thing, people! A single statement pumpkin or a cozy blanket can be more impactful than a PSL explosion. :orange_heart:

If you must go PSL, please go soy or beeswax with your candles to keep it eco-friendly! :globe_showing_europe_africa::sparkles:

Bake your own pumpkin bread instead of buying scented candles. The smell is :fire: and you get snacks! :bread::jack_o_lantern:

PSA: You can make seasonal art that’s not PS-themed. Sketch some fall landscapes or fun spooky doodles. :artist_palette:

2023 trend: Dark academia vibes for fall. Think rich browns, leather, and bookshelves instead of PSL. :books::candle:
