items Fewer things fill me with more joy than lighting a luxury candle. I like to make sure my flat is clean, that all clutter is put away and that my to-do list is ticked off for the day. Then, and only then, will I light my most precious candle and relax...
Let's keep it real, every candle that Diptyque has ever created deserves to be on this list, but if I could only choose one to make the cut it would be this. Tubereuse isn't one of Diptyque's most iconic scents, but in my opinion it is the brand's be...
Diptyque Red Tubereuse Candle, Black, 10.2 Oz
Whether or not you're a rose fragrance lover doesn't really matter when it comes to this masterpiece of a candle—I'm yet to meet a soul who doesn't adore it. It is soft and light with a subtle sweetness that makes any space feel fresh and welcoming. ...
Maison Francis Kurkdjian A La Rose Candle
This candle is a firm favourite among the entire Marie Claire UK beauty desk thanks to its powerful throw and truly unique scent. It is deep and leathery (hence the dark rum name), but there's a sun-soaked sandiness to it that mentally transports you...
MALIN+GOETZ Women's Dark Rum Candle, Dark ...
While this isn't the punchiest candle on the list, it is the ultimate burn for those who just like their home to smell fresh, clean and comforting, making it a particular stand out for this time of year. The best way I can describe it is like hoverin...
Maison Margiela 'REPLICA' Bubble Bath Candle
This candle takes me back to crisp autumn afternoons as a child, watching the embers of a November bonfire slowly burn out, while the smells of rain-soaked trees mingles with ribbons of firewood smoke. It's woody and a little smoky without being over...
Byredo Tree House Scented Candle, 8.4 Oz
For days when it's rainy, cold and grey, I reach for this warming delight from Jo Loves. Sadly, my two-bedroom London flat doesn't have capacity for a wood-burning fire, so I mimic the cosy effects with this candle. It smells exactly like burning fir...
Log Fires - A Home Candle - Jo Loves
You might be familiar with the scent of Santal 26. The famous Le Labo Santal 33 fragrance actually started off as a candle—this candle to be exact. It is probably the most iconic sandalwood candle out there, and for good reason. It's woody, sure, but...
LE LABO Santal 26 Scented Candle 245g
You might be familiar with Glossier You's iconic candle, but this lesser-known scent is my favourite of the bunch. With sandalwood and fig leaf it projects a creamy, cosy and comforting sort of aroma that swaddles you up in ease and joy. On top of th...
Glossier Candle
In the candle world, the only thing that compares to Fornasetti's creations in terms of luxury are Trudon's. Originally loved by Louis XIV and Napoleon, the popularity of Trudon home fragrance has transcended generations. My personal favourite? Ernes...
Cire Trudon Ernesto Candle 9.5 oz Classic
This candle from cult fragrance brand D.S. & Durga is everything a fruity candle should be—joy-inducing and uplifting. It is brimming with juicy, mouth-watering fruit. It's like peeling the skin off a lychee, biting straight into the flesh and le...
D.S. & Durga Dream Lychee Candle 7oz Red
I challenge you to find me a candle as chic as this one. Not only does it smell deliciously light, subtle and fresh, as soon as it's all burned you can keep the vessel as a seriously luxe homeware accessory. In fact, I wish I had the whole collection...
Honeysuckle Candle
I know that the standard Jo Malone London candles are special and luxe enough on their own, but to me, it's these Townhouse Collection candles that really stand out as the most luxurious. It's rare to come across them being burned anywhere, making th...
Wild Berry & Bramble Townhouse Candle - Jo Malone
I'm yet to find a candle with a throw quite like this one. Leave it burning for just 15 minutes and the entire room will smell like the juiciest, freshest grapefruit you can possibly imagine. I have gifted it to three of my friends this year as a bir...
NEST Grapefruit Scented Classic Candle 8.1oz
If I was asked to create a candle that smells like the British countryside, I would want it to smell like this. This candle smells exactly like juicy, freshly-picked tomatoes. It's the sort of candle I'd very much like to have burning in my kitchen a...
Carriere Freres
If you want a candle that oozes expense and wealth, look no further. Beyond just being a Dior candle, it also smells every bit as rich as it sounds like it should. With powerful rose and punchy ambergis, it's one of the most luxurious scents out ther...
Ambre Nuit Dior
Forget everything you think you know about oud and let this candle school you. Yes, it is woody, intense and has a truly unbeatable throw, but Acqua di Parma's take on the classic note is also unbelievably fresh. It smells like a hotel room when you ...
Acqua Di Parma Candle
I have long adored Rituals Private Collection candles not just for the expensive-smelling scents, but also because the throws are undeniably great. I have burned them in small spaces and large open spaces, and they fill every room as well as the next...
Rituals Cotton Blossom Oil Reed Diffuser
When it comes to luxury candles, Fornasetti is about as good as they come. This £250 candle takes the definition of luxury to whole new levels. It looks every bit as beautiful as it smells (and makes for a stellar ornament after it's burned). Like an...
NEL MENTRE Large Scented Candle Farfalle
Smell this candle once and be prepared to fall in love. It is, without question, one of my favourite candles of all time. The throw is second to none, and it smells entirely unique. To get a sense of the scent, I need you to close your eyes and image...
La Montaña Siesta | Luxury Scented Candles
While this candle doesn't have the largest price tag on this list (although it's still by no means cheap), it still stands up. I first came across it while visiting a countryside retreat, where each communal room had a jar burning away. If you're not...
D'orangerie Scented Candle | Home Fragrance - Verden.World
If the concept of Japanese forest bathing had to be portrayed as a candle, this would be the result. It's grounding, fresh, mossy, woody and earthy in the most wonderful of ways—like bringing the aroma of a sun-dappled forest into your home.
Shinrin-yoku
This candle isn't the punchiest of the lot, but it is seriously special. In fact, this is one of the rare candles I have found myself parting with from time to time in order to gift it as a wedding present. Sure, the floral concoction of a fragrance ...
Loving Candle in Red - Bella Freud
Choosing the perfect dinner-party candle isn't easy—you want something pleasant, non-polarising and yet still strong enough to win you some compliments. Trust me, Crisco Disco is it. It is warm and inviting while never venturing into territory that i...
Discothèque Crisco Disco Candle 220g - Cult Beauty
The scent of the smoky woods paired with the vanilla and amber creates a warming scent that fills the room, making it scented like the coziest cabin in the woods. This is a premium candle, so if you are looking to invest in a luxe scent or want somet...
Ember Haze Candle | Amber, Vanilla & Woods - VAHY
A fan-favorite product for the colder months, this sultry scent is spicy yet serious, and it fills the air in minutes. It's nice and warm with notes of ginger and cilantro. It's super chic, especially when the flame glows through the glass.
Molton Brown Black Pepper Scented Candle
Do you ever just snuggle up in a fresh-out-of-the-dryer duvet and bury your nose in it to take in the warm and fresh linen scent? If so, you’ll adore this candle, which features notes of apple alongside a traditional linen fragrance for a comforting ...
Bath & Body Works Sun Drenched Linen Candle
I've tried this candle in her small living room and found the notes of sage, pine needles, and cedarwood transformed her space into a cozy cabin in the evening, removed odors, and refreshed the space for the morning.
Yankee Candle Silver Sage & Pine 20oz
My go-to floral fragrance is eco-friendly and has a delightful rosy aroma. Perfectly subtle yet still nicely scented, it sits inside a pink recycled glass vessel that's decorative, with a wooden lid to prevent dust. It's vegan, cruelty-free, and orga...
Skandinavisk ROSENHAVE Mini Scented Candle
