Admit it: Half the appeal — maybe more than half — of a Pumpkin Spice Latte is that cinnamon-y scent you get on first whiff. It can make you feel like fall is here, even when it's a balmy 91 degrees and you're still slapping mosquitoes off your sunburned skin.
Now, you don't have to wait for Starbucks to unleash its obsessively adored autumnal drink on the planet to get that if-I-close-my-eyes-and-stand-in-the-air-conditioning-it's-practically-fall feeling. One Etsy user Double Brush is selling Pumpkin Spice Latte candles that'll give you that scent year-round. These aren't just vague, pumpkin-y scents either; the soy wax is layered with pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cream, and coffee fragrances. Each one's poured into an upcycled Starbucks Frappuccino glass, making it a dead ringer for the real deal.

Clearly, it's a popular choice, too — the shop has 1,228 reviews on Etsy, with an overall 5-star rating. Most of them say the scent is spot-on.
Each candle sells for about $16.78, though Double Brush is offering 25 percent off each order for a limited time. If that's a little too rich for your blood, don't worry — other Etsy sellers offer PSL scents (albeit less Starbucks-inspired) for $5 to $6.
As if that weren't enough, there's a high-end option, too, particularly for people who are all about the autumnal drink — just not the siren-logoed version. For a more indie coffee shop vibe, you can shell out $22 for a PSL candle that looks like a freshly made latte — with extra whip and a caramel drizzle — served in a clear glass mug.
Ah, fall: The time when everyone caves into their Basic instinct.
