Whether you’re looking for the fresh scent of summer or the flowery fragrance of spring, each season has a distinct bouquet that sets it apart from all the rest. For fall and winter, we swap out the pungent perfume of sunscreen and barbecue for the crisp smells of leaves, smoky campfires, pine needles, and cedar trees.

While these fragrances are best enjoyed sitting on the porch of a secluded log cabin in the woods on vacation, there’s no need to make an effort and move to the woods just to experience the same satisfaction and nostalgia. To bring the great outdoors into the comfort of your own home, smell some of our favorite items such as pine-scented candles that are guaranteed to give you each season’s signature smell.

Andrew Garfield weighs in on whether he would return as his newly popular Spider-Man
Garfield last played the character in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home
Andrew Garfield in 'The Amazing Spider-Man.'

When Andrew Garfield was actually playing Spider-Man, most fans of the character were not thrilled with the movies he starred in. In the decade since The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel were first released, though, plenty of people have warmed to his version of the character. That's likely in part thanks to Spider-Man: No Way Home, which gave both he and Toby Maguire another chance to put on their suits.

In a recent interview with Esquire while promoting his latest movie, We Live in Time, Garfield said that he was now very much open to returning to the role.
