New candles with sublime scents to elevate any ambience
There's nothing like a resplendent candle and its delicious aroma to completely transform the atmosphere of any space. Fortunately for us, a host of new candles with scents as sublime as their flacons have arrived.
It's all about versatility this season. While our favourites share a portal to instant comfort in common, it's in a variety of ways. There's the striking boldness of Jo Malone's new Cypress & Grapevine candle, whilst Commune's Vetiveria Nox is an enveloping blend featuring vetivert and vanilla, designed with evening in mind.
Then, wherever you find yourself on your travels this season, there's a candle for the climate. Should you be fortunate enough to enjoy a Northern summer, consider the sunny notes of Acqua di Parma's Ulivo candle, featuring bursts of blackcurrant alongside evoking the olive trees of Italy. Meanwhile, Van Cleef & Arpels' Les Mimosas D'Hiver pays homage to the winter-blooming mimosa flower through its comforting medley, as Tsu Lange Yor's TLY 5755 utilises native ingredients grown in brand founder Troye Sivan's Australian homeland.
Alongside their stunning scents, this season's most notable candles are also exquisitely housed. Long after their wax is depleted, their flacons can be held on to and cherished.
