We're transitioning into fall on the beauty counters already. If you need to get in the mood, here's Illume's new acorn candle: "A charming ceramic jar shaped like a plump acorn—complete with shining coppertone lid—is filled with a soy-wax candle infused with the woody, aromatic scents of chestnuts, cinnamon and coconut." (There's also a pumpkin and a cider apple.) $26.99 at Nordstrom.
Tempting but spendy counter sprays from Illume, in Rosewater Sage ("Aromatic eucalyptus mingles with silver sage, sparkling rosewater and warm amber") and Petitgrain Basil ("Torn garden basil leaves surround peppery petitgrain, zesty lemon blossoms and deep vetiver"), $12 each. If you've found a wonderful scented counter cleaner, do tell!
