Finest Gourmand: Glasshouse Competition of Lights Candle
Why it is value it: Except you’re sure your giftee has a robust candy tooth (candy…nostril?) a gourmand candle generally is a danger. However Glasshouse’s Competition of Lights Candle—with its notes of cinnamon, apple cake, vanilla, and jasmine—is extra subtly candy than bakery-in-your-face. Each candle firm claims you’ll be able to reuse their vessels; since this one comes with a glass lid that matches snugly, I consider you truly may.

Prettiest Candle Vessel: Oribe Desertland Candle
Why it is value it: Whereas there’s pine in Oribe Desertland Candle’s prime notes, the wildflower-centric scent is decidedly season-agnostic. Positive, that perfume is beautiful, however the glass vessel—black with only a pop of inexperienced—is what actually makes this gifting acceptable.
What it smells like: crisp and floral
Extra gifting-ready candles I really like:
Le Labo Cyprés 21 Candle
Why it is value it: The press launch for Le Labo’s Cyprés 21 says it evokes a cabin deep within the woods. I feel it smells extra like strolling into the foyer of a flowery resort close to a ski resort; the sort with an actual roaring fire and freshly lower pine bushes. Whichever of these conditions your giftee would fairly be in, I’m sure they’ll love this candle.

Voluspa Crushed Sweet Cane Candle

What it smells like: minty and candy
Carrière Frères Cedar Candle
Why it is value it: For many who discover balsam a bit…overdone for the vacations (couldn’t be me), maybe a special sort of evergreen will do the trick. The scent of Carrière Frères’ Cedar Candle is a bit sharper than the candy pine you could be used to, which I feel makes it a extra delicate choice for scenting the house.
What it smells like: dry and woody
Le Prunier Harvest Smoke Candle
Why it is value it: You’ve heard of sugar plums, however what about smoky plums? The latter would not truly exist…besides within the scent of Le Prunier’s Harvest Smoke Candle, which manages to make a fruity perfume decidedly hibernal. It’s candy and juicy however balanced out with cozy notes like cedarwood and orris.
