The best scented candles to make your home smell like heaven
Country Living Marketplace Soy Wax Candle - Awaken 180ml
This hand-poured soy wax candle is scented with a blend of rose, ylang ylang, and jasmine essential oils. The calming scent reduces stress and helps you unwind.
Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Candle
If we told you that you could calm yourself significantly after a long day just by lighting a candle, would you believe us? Aromatherapy Associate's De-Stress Candle is proof. This gorgeous candle omits a zen blend of frankincense, wild camomile and petitgrain. The effects are powerful.
Love the smell of fresh laundry? This is the candle for you. This will make your whole room smell like crisp cotton sheets. Beauty Pie members pay just £17.60 for it with the subscription service.
Fresh linen is a scent loved by all - refreshing, relaxing, and comforting. Subtle notes of powder and musk add depth, complemented by its main floral fragrance.
3 Wick Jumbo Candle - English Pear and Spices
Hand-poured right here in the UK, this stylish candle makes a lovely gift or treat for yourself. An inviting scent of English pear and spices will make you feel comforted and relaxed. Plus, a burn time of 70 hours means you'll have plenty of time to enjoy it.
Fragranced with refreshing eucalyptus and lemongrass for a rejuvenating welcome to your home. We love the pretty blue holder, which can be re-used to hold trinkets.
The White Company Wild Rhubarb Botanical Medium Candle
The White Company's range of botanical candles look as pretty as they smell with decorative fruits, herbs and woods in their bases. This rhubarb-scented candle is a gorgeous gift to give, with notes of tart rhubarb, freesia buds, plum blossom and juicy red apples.
Country Living Marketplace Bees 30cl Candle - Mandarin & Sandalwood
Handmade in Northumberland with plant wax made from rapeseed and coconut oil, this uplifting candle is sure to boost your mood. Scented with mandarin and sandalwood, this candle both smells and looks good, thanks to its bee-patterned ceramic pot.
What we love about Malin + Goetz's candle range is their unconventional approach. Rather than create standard floral fragrances, they opt for the likes of sage, otto and vetiver. Their bergamot-scented candle is our favourite to date with its citrusy, sparkling fragrance.
Country Living Marketplace Inglenook Embers - Frankincense, Amber & Cedarwood
This opulent candle has a musky, earthy and grounding scent created by a combination of frankincense, amber, and cedarwood essential oils. A brilliant choice for the colder months and the festive period.
Inspired by the spray whipped up by the North Sea, this is the perfect candle for fans of long, coastal walks. The fresh scent is refreshing and invigorating.
The fruity scents of pear and blackcurrant are just the thing for adding a burst of fragrance to your home. Bold and playful, this is a fragrance everyone will enjoy.
Know someone who just adores the scent of real roses? You'll make their day with this option from Yankee Candle. It's powerful without being overpowering.
