• Sometimes there is an aroma which is really wonderful you want to smell it anywhere—your soaps, shampoos, lotions, soaps, linens—so it’s easy to understand that you want it permeating your home also. For the sake of luck, some of our most favorite scents also make luxury candles that are perfect for giving (and keeping) during the holiday season. We’ve compiled a curated selection of our favorite scented candles to keep your home well-fragranced and perfumed all the way through the holidays.
#1 Jo Malone London
• With a large array of fragrances, Jo Malone is the best to the people who like spices, florals, woods, citrus and even soothing spa scents. And when we’ve been tempted to spritz slightly of their fragrance around our house, the brand is great at providing their fragrances in a number of home products as well as body cream, room spray, diffusers, lotion, soap and bath oil. Their beautiful candle collection ranges from travel tea lights to giant, limited-edition, four-wick luxury candles. For the holidays try richer fragrances like their frosted cherry and clove, pine and eucalyptus, or incense and ember scents.
#2 Acqua Di Parma
• Known for creating some of our favorite fragrances, Acqua di Parma has a beautiful collection of glass and cube wax luxury scented candles that come in a wide array of the Italian brand’s signature perfumes. For the holiday season, they have also released a limited-edition collection of original scented candles inspired by the history and atmosphere of Venice. The Collezione Murano set is hand made through traditional glass-making techniques from the island of Murano and Venetian glass-blowing artistry. The three new fragrances are inspired by the floral notes of the Linden tree, the deep notes of mahogany and the oriental spice of tonka beans.
#3 Karl Figue & Poivre Noir Scented Candle
• Bring sweet yet spicy aromas to the home with this Figue & Poivre Noir by leading fashion house Karl Lagerfeld in collaboration with prestigious candle makers Welton London. A timeless and elegant creation which manages to be fresh, floral, velvety & spicy all at the same time, it has top notes of sweet fig blended with warming sandalwood with a spicy heart of cardamom and black pepper. The Mysore sandalwood and cedar base notes are enveloped by floral iris which leaves a soft and slightly powdery fragrance lingering on. Displayed in a glossy silver coloured glass holder, it features an image of the legendary designer himself and is packaged in a stunning Karl Lagerfeld gift box.
#4 Bond No 9
• We love the Bond No 9 fragrances almost as much as we love the funky bottles they’re housed in. With special-edition perfumes and more bottle variations than your vanity has room for, the NYC brand has their signature flacons down pat. For those who don’t want to use their $7,000 Bond No 9 fantasy fragrance as air freshener, the company has a collection of candles that channel some of their most popular scents—in adorably decorated containers, of course. While you’re welcome to choose your favorite, we’re partial to the designs on the Wall Street and New York Amber votives.
#5 Creed
• Fragrances from Creed have been a favorite of royals, celebrities and the elite since its humble beginnings back in 1760. With a rich collection that has graced the vanities of women like Jackie O., Creed is among the most luxurious perfumeries in the world with a beautifully scented candle collection that lives up to the brand’s legacy. Set in glass with a golden-topped lid, the candle collection is a special selection of Creed’s most memorable fragrances.
#6 Roja
• As one of Britain’s greatest perfumers (arguably the best in the U.K.), Roja Dove’s eponymous line has won awards and is known as one of the most luxurious brands in Britain. Gardenia, jasmine and amber are some of the brand’s most popular fragrances and have been replicated in candle form for the most discerning of noses. Featuring a finely-curated selection of his best fragrances, the candle collection is made with fine oils and ingredients to maintain the luxurious experience and offer the same sleek, no-fuss packaging as the perfumes.
#7 Atelier Cologne
• One of our personal favorites, the fragrances at Atelier Colongne smell less like a bottled perfume and more like you’ve spent the day in a sun-kissed orchard. With a candle for each of the brand’s 17 fragrances, the scents range from light vanilla to deep patchouli. Depending on the collection the fragrance is from, candles come in brown glass, precious metals like gold and silver, or clear glass. Try the Santal Carmin, Vanille Insensee or Gold Leather for the best holiday fragrances.
#7 Uplifting Pine Needle & Eucalyptus Candle
• Fresh, bright and bracing pure Pine Needle essential oil with its fresh green aroma, combines cleanly with stimulating Eucalyptus and soothing Cedarwood, to help clear and sharpen the mind, all the while relieving mental and physical tiredness. Natural antiseptic properties means it freshens any room in the house
#9 Nourishing Geranium & Sweet Orange Candle
• Rose-scented Geranium essential oil combines perfectly with warming Sweet Orange to create a indulgent fruity-floral aroma that nourishes and protects – the ultimate natural indulgence. Rosy, refreshing and intense, Rose Geranium oil helps balance and harmonise the emotions. Zesty, refreshing and sunny, Sweet Orange uplifts the mind and revitalises the senses.
