The Best New Candles Launching Summer 2021

It’s been exclusively available in the USA for a while now, but we’ve finally secured the latest strain of Kush candle for UK Boy Smells addicts. Purple Kush adds steel-toned violets and cannabis flowers to the iconic Kush scent. Additional notes of powdery musks are enriched by the existing palette of tulip and brushed suede. Subtle fruit tannins of cassis play gently against the newly added texture of vetiver root.

We’re really excited to finally introduce R O E N scented candles to the UK – the small-batch coconut wax candles are lovingly handcrafted with unique, irresistible scents housed in peach accented vessels. 29 Palms is a truly standout summer fragrance – an actual oasis of freshness!

Created to complement the balmy summer days ahead, the Venus Candle by Evermore featurea a soft, floral blend of gardenia, jasmine and carnation, delicately married with base notes of velvet musk, amber and tuberose.

Okay so technically the Lavender Candle by P.F. Candle Co. isn’t a new fragrance – it’s an old favourite brought out the vault for a short time. It’s filled with the aromatic floral notes of French lavender and lily, while bergamot and lemon top notes elevate the fragrance. A base of woody cedar and lavender musk add depth and warmth, creating an easy, relaxing daytime scent.

The Tuberose Myrrhder Candle by D.S. & Durga is a darkly floral fragrance featuring tuberose, caked with spicy Ethiopian myrrh, cacao, currant, and dank Madagascar vanilla. D.S. & Durga never disappoint, and this floral fragrance is an absolutely glorious addition to their fragrance line-up.

With notes of bursting lime, ripe watermelon, summer grass, and dried chili the limited edition Watermelon & Chili candle from P.F. Candle Co is the ultimate sunshine scent. If you like Sweet Grapefruit, Los Angeles, or Swell, you’re going to love this one.

We’ve just had word that Boy Smells annual PRIDE collection will be back for 2021. It’s all very hush hush right now so we can’t share any details on the fragrances included or the limited edition design, but we wanted to give you a heads up as we know you’ll want to collect the entire scent set! Make sure you’re on our newsletter to keep informed about launch dates.

Neroli blossom, jasmine, and sandalwood notes are combined with carrot seed, nagarmotha, and elemi to imbue your rooms with positive feelings.

This new scent from P.F. Candle Co. revisits their Californian stomping ground, this time taking us to the Eastern Sierras. The fragrance is woody and dry with delicate herbaceous sage and juniper notes. As with most P.F. candles, this is a subtle fragrance – if you’re looking for more strength, try the new incense sticks instead.

For summer 21′ Diptyque have up-leveled the ubiquitous vacation fragrance of Citronella. No longer just to be burnt for its mosquito-protecting virtues, this sun-filled fragrance contains floral, green, summery notes that will transport you to evenings spent watching the warm sun set over the Mediterranean.

Sweet and musky notes of almond, jasmine, cedar, and smoke with a hint of coriander. A tonic to take the edge off your bad day (or year).

Earl of East has announced the return of their limited-edition collaboration with Uncommon Creative Studios, this time partnering with charity Choose Love to launch ‘Scents of Belonging’ for Refugee Week (14-20th June). Each scent is inspired by three incredible refugees living in Britain based on their memories of home. Profits from sales will go to Choose Love so they can continue to help those fleeing war, persecution, and climate change. You can shop the candles directly from Earl of East.

A warm, rich scent with a hint of sweet; just enough to take you back to 2019 when we were all giving hugs. Featuring notes of bergamot, sandalwood, amber, lemon, smoke, clove, moss, evergreen, and cypress.

Float away on a cloud of lavender, patchouli, and orange. A pillow of cedarwood, chamomile, and herbs provides a comforting base.
