Delicious Finds for Fall: Gourmet Scents for the Body & Home

It’s been said that 75 percent of what we taste comes from our sense of smell-and that scent is linked to memory, as well. To me, gourmet fall scents inspire memories of bonfires, football games and family gatherings, and the crisp air that is not the same at any other time of the year.

A great scent can also uplift and transform any task into a pleasant experience. As fall is upon us, I’d like to share a few of my favorite foodie scents. From body wash to wood polish, scents inspired by great tastes put a smile on my face, even when I’m cleaning the kitchen.

Some are steals, some are splurges-but all make great gifts, especially for the foodie.

Creme Brulee Body Wash by Philosophy

This is my absolute favorite right now-I use it nearly every day. There is a great creme brulee recipe on the bottle, too!

Caramel Apple and Marshmallow Body Wash by Philosophy

These are a few more from Philosophy that I am looking forward to trying for the first time!

Salty Caramel Candle from Bath & Body Works

Another great home scent, and one that I use often. When they’re on sale, the three-wick candles are two for $20. (And I always buy them on sale!)

FIguier Candle by Diptyque

My favorite splurge. This is a candle I only light on special occasions, but it is amazing!

Three great, fun scents for the kitchen, these reasonably priced hand soaps are a staple in my kitchen. In basil, rosemary, and parsley.

Plum Nutmeg Dish Soap by Caldrea

This was a limited edition scent from last year, but you can still find it at discount shops such as TJ Maxx. Decadent and yummy!

Stonewall Kitchen Herbes de Provence Hand Soap, Lotion and Dish Soap

Another awesome kitchen staple.
