About The Best Christmas Scented Candles

1. Baking Treats: Yankee Candle, Christmas Cookie, £8.99

One of my favourite things about Christmas? It’s the perfect excuse to bake some tasty treats. Of course, if you’re not a great baker, buying a cookie-scented candle is the next best thing.

With a rich buttery, vanilla scent, I’m obsessed with Yankee Candle’s Christmas Cookie fragrance. I light it in my living room to make the whole house smell like there are always freshly baked biscuits in the oven.

Nothing builds your excitement for Christmas like a calendar candle. Simply burn it for a few hours every day then cross off the date on the pretty glass cup to countdown the days.

Undeniably one of the best Christmas scented candles, this should definitely be on your Christmas wish list. It’s everything a festive candle should be!

6. A Soft Glow: Elemis, Joyful Glow Candle, £32

A beautifully-packaged Elemis candle on your mantelpiece is festive in itself, but with calming notes of vanilla, orange and cinnamon added to the mix, you’re guaranteed a joyful atmosphere.

7. Bringing The Outside In: SKANDINAVISK, Sno Candle, £32

Don’t you just love that fresh and crisp smell you get from being outside in winter? I just can’t get enough of that thick scent of wet leaves and hardy greens. Fortunately, this candle encapsulates all these memories and more! It boasts a dry scent of frozen wood and winter berries, a true celebration of Nordic Winter.

8. Celebrations: Molton Brown, Muddled Plum Candle, £42

This candle is the perfect Christmas companion. Boasting a delicious blend of rich Oak-Aged Rum and earthy tones of Sandalwood and musk, it smells of celebration. Simply light the wick and allow its fragrance to carry you away with that December feeling. We’re talking flickering fires and the flavours of Christmas cake.
