Aesop Candles

Aesop Candles Online

Aesop's candle range brings the same layered, place-inspired approach as its perfumes to a home fragrance format. Each candle is designed to burn cleanly and evenly, filling a room with scent rather than sitting on a shelf unused. All three are Aromatique Candles, so they share the same format and differ mainly in scent. The range currently includes three candles: Aesop Ptolemy Aromatique Candle, an earthy, woody scent that evokes the old-growth forests of Japan; Aesop Aganice Aromatique Candle, a spicy, floral and fresh fragrance inspired by Cape Spartel in Morocco; and Aesop Callippus Aromatique Candle, a woody, earthy, green scent with a smoky, ritual-like quality.

Choosing an Aesop Candle

If you're drawn to something earthy and grounding, Ptolemy and Callippus are good places to start, with Callippus leaning slightly greener and smokier. If you'd prefer a brighter, more floral fragrance, Aganice is the one to try first. Because the three scents pull in different directions, from woody and earthy to spicy and floral, it helps to decide whether you want a scent that grounds a room or one that lifts it before you choose. As with any scented candle, trimming the wick before each burn and letting the wax pool reach the edge of the vessel on the first burn will help it burn more evenly over its lifespan, reducing tunnelling and wasted wax. A candle suits a room you spend a lot of time in, and some shoppers choose to trial one of the Aesop fragrances or room spray before committing to a candle.

Aesop Candles as Gifts

Aesop candles are a popular gifting choice thanks to their understated packaging and distinctive scent profiles, and pair well with a hand cream or fragrance from the wider Aesop fragrance range if you'd like to build out a gift, particularly for someone who already wears or uses the brand. If a specific candle is currently out of stock, Aesop room spray is another way to scent a room, and Aesop incense does the same in stick form rather than a candle. You can also browse the wider Aesop home care range.
