Void Bougie Parfumée Candle

You may be contained to your cosy living room during the chilly days and nights of winter, so why not invest in a candle that brings the aromatic scents of the world to you? Colekt's 'Void' candle, made from vegan wax, will whisk you far away from the Nordic darkness with exotic notes of rhubarb, tangerine, basil, pathcouli and dill. Snip the wick, watch the flame flicker and be transported by its scent.

Byredo

Symphonique Candle

Like its title, this candle is truly a symphony of moments, presenting a complex blend of fragrances that, like music, may be interpreted differently by each individual. It is a blend of woody, spicy, and powdery notes with a bitter orange and anise top note along with beeswax, ginger, and clove mid notes.

Carved in marble, this scented candle radiates seductive cedar-wood tones that are only accentuated by the additions of verbena and vetiver. Plus, this scent looks great on any mantlepiece.

Guerlain

Encens d'Hiver Candle

The air is filled with incense effluvia, fragrant tea, and woodsmoke when this candle is lit. Inspired by the snowy streets of Moscow in the winter, filling the air with swirling scents of labdanum and woody cedar notes – we can't get enough wafts of it.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

View of the Park Candle

New York offers unmatched metropolitan vibrancy, distinct architectural style and, of course, a view of the iconic Central Park. All of this is wrapped up tightly and captured in this scented candle. With notes of Eastern red cedar, cinnamon, and cognac, this one will bring warmth and comfort on even the darkest Scandinavian evenings.
