The Best Christmas Scented Candles For Your Festive Home

The first festive fragrance that every home should be imbued with during December is the fresh woody notes of pine needles and fir trees. We’ve rounded up all our favourite Christmas tree inspired scents here so that you can get that “real tree” scent without any of the mess. Below are our top three most popular Xmas tree candles…

For 2021 we’re really excited to have the limited edition Festive Skog candle available. This beautiful version of Skandinavisk’s bestselling Christmas Tree scented candle is housed in glorious green glass and comes in a stunning gift box.

The Reveler Scented Candle by Moodcast features freshly cut pine notes to help spirits rise to the occasion. Earthy cedarwood and fir balsam add woody warmth.

The Nordic Cedar Candle by Aery envelopes you in a blanket of cosy fragrance. The scent straddles woody, warm and fresh at the same time as the cedar notes are sprinkled with warm spices and a hint of citrus – a tree dressed in festive pomander.

With the festive season comes a need for warmth and cosiness. The fragrance of spices, baking, and traditional decorations entwine to create a sense of nostalgia that sweeps us back to magical childhoods both imagined and experienced. We rounded up all our favourite winter spice infused candles here, but these are our top three you really should buy right now…

Full of the nostalgia and traditions associated with Scandinavia at Christmas. It’s the warming fragrance of roaring fires, hearty food, warming drinks, and at the center of it all, the family home. A richly spiced scent with bold notes of baked gingerbread, melted honey, cloves, and warm glogg.

A Christmas classic, only available in the run-up to the festive season. It features top notes of orange blended with a warm and spicy base of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove.

Inspired by the dazzling North Star, burning bright across velvet black skies, lighting the way on a winter’s night. The scent features top notes of black pepper and cinnamon married with a mysterious base of oud, maple and tobacco.

A roaring fireplace is a winter staple, and even if you don’t have the real thing, adding fragrant smoky scents to your home will create a wonderful ambiance. We’ve got an amazing selection of fireplace-inspired scents making it incredibly hard to pick a top three. You can view all our smoky fragrances here.

The Portable Fireplace Scented Candle from D.S. & DURGA is the perfect way to bring the luxurious homely feeling of a real fire into any room. The smokiness of this scent is opulent and sensuous; smooth woody notes are brought to life thanks to the inclusion of resinous warmth and soft ash.

This bestselling fragrance by LAFCO has been designed with a winter ski chalet in mind – the scent of fresh pine and cedarwood intermingle with warm leather, frankincense, and sandalwood, before layers of smoke gently curl through.

The mystical aroma of an autumnal fire burning as smoke gently drifts across the room. A sweet, woody perfume of cedarwood, fir balsam, and fragrant forest resins with kindling and natural clove oils.

If you’ve ever spent time in the winter mountains, you’ll know how glorious the scent of fresh snow, glittering landscapes, and frosted trees can be. These notes are more delicate, making them harder to capture in candle form, but some of our favourite scent makers have done so beautifully. Think early mornings as you step outside the log cabin, breathing in the cold fresh air.

The beauty of fresh winter snow as it lays itself across the frozen landscape. The crisp scent of fresh air is warmed by the infusion of winter berries and rich woodland. Far from cold, this fragrance captures the reflection of early morning light as it glitters through delicate icicles and frosty windows.

We have too many amazing festive candles to be able to list them all in this post, so it’ll be well worth checking out our entire collection of Christmas candles – we won’t judge if you decide you need them all!
