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.

The Jaegers in Pacific Rim

Get ready to put your mech suit back on. Variety is reporting that the Pacific Rim TV series has found a home at Amazon. Plot details for the series are currently being kept under wraps, but reporting suggests that this new show will be a prequel and that there is still a possibility that they will make more Pacific Rim films at some point as well. Eric Heisserer is set to serve as the show's writer and executive producer.

The first film was released in 2013 and directed by Guillermo Del Toro and Travis Beachem. That film imagined a world where Kaijus had long ago emerged from the ocean, and mankind's only hope of defeating them were giant mech suits called Jaegers. With humanity on its last legs, a washed-up pilot becomes their best chance for survival. The movie made over $400 million at the global box office and was divisive among both audiences and critics.
