items I am a big believer in curating a comfortable, pleasant space for yourself in whatever way possible. If you're looking for something very low effort with big payoff I'd recommend lighting a candle.Here are some of my favorites.
My holy grail candle. It smells like a sexy, smokey campfire. I love this so much I ALWAYS have a backup stashed away just in case. The apartment of my dreams has a nonfunctional fireplace with the 1500g version of this burning inside. Diptyque candles have an insane scent projection and great burn times, making the pricetag worth it IMO.
Feu de Bois (Wood Fire) - Classic Candle
Bath and Body Works' original Stress Relief line walked so this candle could run. I love an herbaceous and green scent that can mentally transport me to a spa. I associate certain fragrances with the rooms in my home and this candle was made for a ba... you light before a bath (highly recommend).
Wild Mint & Eucalyptus Classic Candle
Another mint note on a fragrance list curated by me? Groundbreaking. Mint + Lemon play nicely with the orange bergamot here. This candle is zesty and bright. It's what I reach for after deep cleaning my apartment. The scent lingers for a while even after it's done burning.
Amalfi Lemon & Mint Classic Candle
Ok yes this is very expensive for a candle but we all deserve a little luxury in our lives. This is more reminiscent of green tomato vines than the fruit itself. Plus the vessel is the cutest pop of tomato red and the perfect size to repurpose the co...
Medium Tomato Leaves Candle, 21.5 oz.
The candle of my grown up Lisa Frank dreams! The iridescent packaging is giving sunset vibes. The scent is sweet, a little tart thanks to the rhubarb note, and finishes with a nice hit of sandalwood. This would be the perfect bachelorette trip favor.
Moodcast Girls Trip Scented Candle
This is a sexy candle. The black packaging and black wax combined with the scent of cedar and guaiac wood make this candle feel more masculine than some others on this list. This has been a well received gift for many men in my life.
Byredo Tree House 70 g
This candle is dark academia personified for me. Light this and you immediately feel like a magic student in a dark library pouring over ancient texts. I love the moody green color coupled with the sandalwood and palo santo.
The Magician Candle - Nette
If you are a dirty martini lover you need this candle. They somehow captured the essence of a crisp martini at a fancy steakhouse (which are the best, 10/10 always). The olive note here is perfectly briny and the juniper perfectly piny. Best enjoyed ...
Rewined Dirty Martini Glass Candle
Bath and Body Works they could never make me hate you! You cant go wrong with any scent - they really have something for everyone. My personal fave are any with a minty, spa-like note.
Bath & Body Works
Pomanders were originally used to ward off infections. Now they're associated with the holiday season. This candle is holiday festive without being too on the nose, which means it's perfect for year round use in my house. It's a sweet but not cloying blend of orange peels and cloves.
