Add an instant soothing atmosphere to your home with a glorious scented candle, and let’s be honest, nothing beats the reassuring glow of a candle that fills the room, making it all warm and inviting especially throughout winter. The flickering light can create a calming and intimate haven, bringing warmth to a normally unlit area of the room; team that with a cozy and comforting scent (think burning three clashing scents simultaneously) and you’ve got a recipe for a sumptuous candle lit cave for a long winter…
Right now, there’s a smorgasbord of fragrances to choose from, more than ever before, so we’ve created a guide to the best warm and welcoming scents made with higher concentrations of scented oil and superior quality wax to add depth and mystique to your home.
