Waiting for the right time to stock up on winter candles? Well, November has finally arrived, and trust us, you don’t want to put it off any longer. When it comes to seasonal shopping (especially during winter time), it’s a good idea to keep ahead of the curve and tick everything off your wish list before Christmas arrives.
Nothing screams “winter” more than those cosy nights in accompanied by a spicy scent that fills your home. And winter candles provide a comforting ambience on a whole new level. Picture it: you’re curled up under a weighted blanket, sipping hot chocolate and re-watching Love Actually for the gazillionth time. The missing element? A Christmas candle that stands on your coffee table and spreads the most warming scent (think: cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange, cashmere, etc.). And compliments your interior scheme during the day. A tealight just isn’t going to cut it.
Home fragrance is, after all, the ultimate self-care treat after a long slog at the office. Whether your fir tree candle burns while you’re reading, watching TV or when you’re in the process of your X-step skincare routine, winter candles are great for unwinding. I always look forward to lighting my favourite cinnamon candle after a stressful day – it’s my way of saying “I’m relaxing and nothing will disturb me.”
Luckily, there are tonnes of winter candles to sift through. Perhaps you like a fresh forest blast from your candle – something strong, woodland-y and laced with green notes. Jo Loves’ Christmas Trees smells like a bracing winter walk. Perhaps you like a nod to Christmas, like sultry, smoky aroma, rather than going full Santa’s Grotto. Byredo’s Bibliotheque is addictive (and not that expensive). Perhaps you find baked goods most comforting, like gingerbread scents or a vanilla frosted flame. Or maybe nothing smells quite as much like Christmas as cinnamon and spice, in which case The White Company’s Winter is a cult classic for a reason. Heck, there’s even a Chai Latte scented candle, combining all those warm sweet and spicy notes that you crave during winter.
If you’re having trouble narrowing down your picks, no need to worry – we’ve got you covered. We’ve carefully curated a list of the best winter candles for every budget and preference, from cult-favourites, Christmassy scents and festive fragrances that would make amazing gift ideas, too. You’ll find options coming from leading brands in the candle biz (think Diptyque, Jo Malone, NEOM and The White Company) as well as underrated gems from the likes of Etsy.
