Living a well-scented life is a priority for many, myself included. Fragrance has the power to uplift moods, and I ensure it’s an integral part of my daily routine through perfumes, body oils, and luxury candles. Illuminating my home with candles creates a romantic ambiance while enveloping me in delightful scents.
My fascination with luxury candles has led me to build an extensive collection, knowing the market’s best offerings. While I appreciate a range of scents, my favorites often lean towards the luxurious end. If you’re keen on enhancing your living space with exquisite fragrances, read on to discover my top picks.
Musk, a beloved note in perfumery, also shines in candles. The Carby Musk candle by BETTER WORLD FRAGRANCE HOUSE, curated by none other than Drake, blends notes like lily of the valley and amber woods into a sweet, floral aroma. Le Labo’s Ambroxyde 17, reminiscent of clean musk with a hint of sweetness, is another standout choice.
Gourmand candles offer a sensory treat without being overly dessert-like. Voluspa’s Baltic Amber combines vanilla orchid and sandalwood for a sweet yet balanced fragrance. Saffron & Cedar by SALT & STONE infuses sugar cane and saffron notes, reminiscent of a popular fragrance, offering a beautiful olfactory experience.
Fruity candles inject a vibrant energy into spaces without overwhelming citrus notes. Glasshouse Fragrances’ Kyoto In Bloom, with lime and bergamot complemented by amber and sandalwood, exudes an elegant citrusy scent. Glossier’s Sandstone, featuring fig, sandalwood, and clary sage, strikes a perfect balance between fruity, fresh, and woody.
Exploring woody scents reveals a harmonious blend of fresh, earthy, and clean notes. Decor by Heron’s Mahogany + Teakwood candle, with lavender and geranium top notes, offers a unisex, clean scent. Jo Malone London’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt candle mirrors the beloved perfume, delivering a grounding and delightful fragrance.
Floral candles, when crafted with finesse, can elevate spaces with a delicate touch. Trudon’s Versailles Classic Candle, Garden in Spring, combines tuberose, peonies, mint, and other notes for a fresh and slightly gourmand aroma. Diptyque’s Rose Candle, a fragrance dedicated to rose lovers, provides a balanced floral essence that complements woody perfumes.
