The 8 Best Scented Candles

Lemongrass is a scent known to energise and invigorate the senses. The Glasshouse Saigon Candle, infused with Lemongrass, Orange, Lime, Eucalyptus, Bergamot, and Sandalwood, is our No. 1 pick for the job. This vibrant candle offers a long-lasting, crisp scent that’s fresh and infectious without ever being overpowering. Glasshouse Saigon Candles are some of the best natural candles, as they use only the highest quality of non-toxic wax and natural cotton wicks.

Rose is a classic scent that’s been popular in home fragrances and perfumery for centuries. However, Rose never seems to become outdated. The Lumira Glass Candle in Persian Rose offers a modern twist on this traditional fragrance. Encased in an eyecatching ebony jar, this luxurious glass candle combines Persian Rose, Bergamot Zest, and Dark Amber for the ultimate relaxation experience. The creamy soy wax formula ensures a long-lasting scent without any pollutants.

Citrus is one of the most commonly found candle scents, as it’s lively and energising without being overwhelming. The Circa Home Blood Orange Candle celebrates the gorgeous aroma of Blood Orange and combines it with Lemon, Grapefruit, Sweet Apple, Jasmine, and Musk for a punchy and zesty scent. Alternatively, try the Glasshouse Montego Bay Candle, which expertly blends citrusy Lemon Oil and Lime Oil with Amber and Coconut to deliver a relaxing and inviting fragrance, perfect for summer days.

They say first impressions mean everything, and this is definitely the case when you’re selling a property. The best candles for selling houses are in scents that play it safe. You don’t want anything too bold and punchy if you want to impress a wide variety of prospects! The Glasshouse Tahaa Candle is the perfect candle for home sales. Its warm and inviting scent isn’t overpowering or too personal. Tahaa offers a subtle scent that spreads evenly around the room for a long-lasting atmospheric aroma. Made up of Pineapple, Coconut, Caramel, and Vanilla, it’s a must-have for showing a house that’s on the market.

What better excuse for buying a new candle than Christmas? Christmas evokes so many nostalgic senses, and lighting a gorgeous candle is the perfect way to relive those classic childhood memories. The Glasshouse Coney Island - Burnt Sugar & Fig is a fun and playful scent inspired by NYC’s original amusement park. Just like beloved Christmas markets, this candle represents bright lights, carousels, and plenty of candy. A wonderful way to celebrate the season!

Many candles are unisex, and candle scents appeal to different personal tastes rather than genders. But for men, we particularly recommend the Circa Home Vanilla Bean & Allspice Classic Candle. This warming cocktail of Sandalwood, Bergamot, Patchouli, Allspice, and Vanilla Bean creates a cosy, musky fragrance that’s simply adored by men.
