It seems that around Valentine’s Day everyone creates a list of the best Rose candles to bring romantic vibes to the home, but rose candles are great year-round to add elegance to your spaces.
Emily Belfiore at WWD rounded up “The 14 Best Rose-scented Candles That Make Romantic Gifts” saying “rose candles create a relaxing and invigorating aroma that fills your space with sweet and floral fragrance notes, which have been found to have a calming aromatherapy effect on the senses.”
Her choices included traditional favourites from brands like Diptyque, Voluspa and Byredo as well as P.F. Candle Co’s Sandalwood Rose. Boy Smells also got an honourable mention with Emily saying “putting an oaky and smoky twist on traditional rose-scented candles, the Boy Smells Cinderose Candle delivers an edgy, full-bodied and luxurious scent comprised of rose, orange blossom, and jasmine with smoke, cedar and birch tar.”
At The Observer, Morgan Halberg hand-picked “The Best Rose-Scented Candles for Valentine’s Day”, pointing out “sure, flowers are nice, but even the most decadent bouquet of roses will wilt sooner rather than later, so why not add to the ambiance with a much longer-lasting rose-scented candle, instead?”
Morgan selected many of her candles from high-end brands such as Tom Ford, Carrière Frères and Maison Francis Kurkdjian. D.S. & Durga’s limited-edition Salt Marsh Rose candle featured high in the list with her saying “this salty-sweet candle was inspired by co-founder David Moltz’s New England roots, and is comprised of notes of swamp rose, sea lettuce and lichen moss.” Apotheke’s Santal Rock Rose was also mentioned prominently.
