Building a fragrance wardrobe for your house is just as important as creating a collection of perfumes to sit atop your vanity. Have you ever walked into a home that you cannot stop smelling because it is scented just perfectly? My love for luxurious candles developed in college and has only gotten stronger since we have a home to call our own. Burning a candle in any season makes a home feel cozy and well, like home. There are many different candles to choose from but one thing to think about is choosing different candles in different fragrance categories (a floral, fruit or a wood) to create a home aroma that has depth and even lends a bit of mystery. To better help you navigate the market, I have picked a few that are my absolute favorite and others that have recently caught my eye. Do you have a favorite candle? Please tell!
Fruits:: Archipelago Kadota Fig / Aquiesse Pomegranate Sage
*My favorites
This is such a helpful guide!! I adore candles and love getting them...but can you believe it so hard for me to spend the money to get one for myself. Its the type of luxury I usually bypass for another one.....but I do want to build up my collection.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post idea, Alison! I'd say I have a signature scent for my home–it's a candle I always always buy, regardless of season. I'm going to have to smell a few of the ones you suggested!
ReplyDeletePomegranate sage sounds like a heavenly combination!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try that Japanese peony candle! Sounds magical!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roundup. I want to fill my home with all of them!
ReplyDeleteOooo these all look good. I like candles in jars especially when you here things like what happened in the bronx all candle should be in jar or container. Oh you should TOTALLY go to Lucky FABB next year for sure!!

I agree with you, to light a candle definitely makes you feel like you're at home!
ReplyDeleteI like wood scent for my living room so I think I will try the Voluspa Makassr Ebony & Peach!
I feel very deficient in my candle/scent knowledge right now haha! Like Albertina it's hard for me to spend $ on them for myself for some reason - but the Archipelago fig one and the Nest moroccan amber sound amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe first one is just so simple and beautiful- I want it!
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun! I'm definitely a floral girl, and nest candles are some of my favorites! I love the pretty layout of this post - is that weird to say? You've got sweet skills, lady ;)
