Yankee Candle’s Halloween shelf has two very different moods: witchy woods and a dessert table with tiny ghosts on it. If your fall candle shopping usually stalls at “but which one would I actually want my house to smell like?”, the scent notes are a better starting point than the cute names.
Here are five current options, with the exact jar styles and prices checked on Yankee Candle’s U.S. website on September 22, 2026. This is a shopping comparison based on the brand’s descriptions, not a firsthand burn or fragrance review.
Start with the scent family
Witches’ Brew is the earthy choice in this group. Yankee Candle lists patchouli, clove, woods and vanilla, and categorizes it as woody. The version linked here is the 22-ounce Original Large Jar for $34.99.
Phantom Bookshop takes a different route: orange, rose and vanilla parchment, with additional notes including aged ink and amber. The brand puts it in its fresh-and-clean fragrance family. The 14.5-ounce three-wick candle is $26.99.
Those are useful distinctions even before getting to the bakery-inspired options. A candle with “bookshop” in its name does not automatically have the same wood-heavy profile as Witches’ Brew.
The sweet Halloween options
Jelly Scream Puff, the pink candle pictured below, combines raspberry and red-berry-jam notes with vanilla and powdered sugar. Yankee Candle categorizes it as fruity. Its 22-ounce Original Large Jar is $34.99.
Pumpkin Pie Pop is the pumpkin-and-spice pick: the listed notes include pumpkin, cinnamon, buttercream and white chocolate. That 22-ounce Original Large Jar is also $34.99.
Chocolate Layer “Cackle” puts cocoa and chocolate-mousse-pudding notes up front, with vanilla at the base. Its 22-ounce Original Large Jar is $34.99, too. If pumpkin spice is not your thing, this is a different dessert direction to compare.
Check the jar style before comparing prices
The four $34.99 candles above are 22-ounce Original Large Jars. The $26.99 Phantom Bookshop option is a smaller 14.5-ounce three-wick. The price difference is not an apples-to-apples comparison of equal-size candles.
Each linked page has other styles, so confirm the selected size, current price and delivery or store-pickup availability before checking out. These are the displayed individual prices at our check, without assuming a promotion applies.
