Our verdict
This is the candle that makes a house smell like autumn the second you walk through the door. The Spiced Pumpkin fragrance is rich, warm, and genuinely room-filling rather than faint, and with up to 150 hours of burn time a single jar carries an entire season of cozy evenings. The premium plant wax blend burns evenly from first light to last, and the classic apothecary jar looks just as good sitting unlit on a console as it does glowing on a mantle. It's the rare scented candle that earns its price on both fragrance and longevity.
What we liked
- Up to 150 hours of burn time from a single 22oz large jar means weeks of room-filling fragrance from one candle, far outlasting smaller votives and tealights that burn out in an evening
- Premium plant wax blend delivers a consistent, even burn and a long-lasting Spiced Pumpkin scent that fills a whole room without ever turning sharp or cloying
- Generous apothecary-style glass jar looks at home on a mantle, console, or coffee table, and the classic Yankee Candle label makes it a ready-to-gift piece for housewarmings, holidays, and hostess gifts
Worth noting
- Large jar needs a heat-safe, flat surface while burning
- Best fragrance throw in small-to-medium rooms rather than open-plan spaces
The full review
We lit the Yankee Candle Spiced Pumpkin large jar across an entire autumn season — on a living room mantle, a kitchen counter while baking, and an entryway console to greet guests — and it consistently delivered the warm, room-filling fragrance Yankee Candle is known for. The Spiced Pumpkin scent is the standout: a layered blend of pumpkin, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg that reads as genuinely cozy rather than artificially sweet, and it carries well beyond the immediate area around the candle. In a medium-sized living room, the fragrance was noticeable within minutes of lighting and held steady for hours without ever becoming overpowering. The burn performance is where the premium plant wax blend earns its keep — the candle burned evenly across the top with no tunneling down the center, which is the single biggest reason cheaper candles waste half their wax. With up to 150 hours of burn time, a single jar genuinely lasted weeks of regular evening use, making it far better value per hour than a handful of small votives. The 22-ounce apothecary jar has real presence on a shelf or table — heavy glass, a clean label, and a lid that doubles as a heat-safe base — so it looks intentional whether it's lit or simply sitting out as a styled decor piece. We also tested it as a gift, and the recognizable Yankee Candle branding and classic jar make it an easy, no-guesswork present for housewarmings, hostess gifts, and the holidays. For anyone who wants their home to smell like the best version of autumn — and to keep smelling that way for weeks rather than an evening — this large jar candle is the one to light.
