I love holiday scented candles. They make your home feel so festive. I always save mine until November so I can really get into the holiday spirit.
I’ve tried A LOT of candles over the years and found many of them to be too cloying or just plain bad. Here are my favorites.
White Cypress – I’ll be honest. I’ve graduated beyond Voluspa candles. I don’t normally buy them but make an exception for two of their limited edition holiday scents because they’re that good. This one smells like a walk in a winter wonderland.
Après-Ski – a beautiful blend of spruce and cypress. This candle has excellent throw.
Crushed Candy Cane – not cloying or synthetic, this smells fresh and happy.
Birchwood Pine – another luxurious Christmas tree scent, this one has base notes of rich musk and amber.
Lips Incense Holder – super chic to display and a great option for those who prefer incense over candles.
Incense – this incense brand is clean burning thanks to the essential oils they use. I adore the Cedarwood and Black Spruce.
Fallen Fir – I’ve written about Otherland candles before for their excellent throw, non-toxic ingredients and low price point. This one is described as “Christmas in a box.”
Charcoal – if you like masculine scents, this woodsy scent makes you feel like you’re cozied up in front of a fireplace. I go for the diffuser because it’s so elegant.
Wick Trimmer – I used scissors for years but hated cleaning them. I finally bit the bullet and got a wick trimmer. #soworthit
Broken Rosary – This has all of the warm, spicy notes you want during the holidays – cinnamon, cardamom and cedarwood.
