The Best Sun Filled Candles For Summer

Summer is filled with wonderful fragrances, each one imbued with the ability to transport us back to sun-filled days and hedonistic relaxation. Even if being a grown up now means the endless summers of youth are distant, wonderful memories and sunny days are now just warmer work days, we can still fill our homes with those fragrant reminders of freedom thanks to these summery scented candles.

Any true candle lover knows that lighting up is a year-round addiction. During the warmer months, we switch from cosy fragrances to bright scents that bring the feeling of sunshine into our homes. From fresh citrus to the clean smell of sea breezes, summer scented candles are a great way to refresh your indoor spaces, even on the muggiest days.

Below you’ll find some of our favourite scented candles for summer, the perfect way to bring the beach holiday home with you.
