The Best Scented Candles For 2024

Rachel Vosper

Glass Jar Three-Wick Candle, £86

rachelvosper.com

Handmade in Belgravia, Rachel Vosper’s chic candles (available in a range of sizes from one to five wicks) come in an array of beguiling scents, from Echinacea – a delicately-scented medicinal herb – to Rose & Magnolia. What’s more, the central London studio is open for orders and operating a no-contact refill service, available for non-traditional vessels as well as empty candle votives.

Victoria Cator

Madame Julia, from £65

victoriacator.com

With notes of blackcurrant leaves, Bulgarian rose and a musk base, this sophisticated home fragrance is one that is instantly recognisable. You’ll want this one in your reception room so it becomes your home signature scent to greets guests with.

Daylesford Organic

Botanical Lavender Candle, £16

daylesford.com

The sealable lids on these gorgeous Daylesford candles makes them perfect for travelling with. This relaxing lavender scent is a great addition to your pre-bedtime routine. Just be sure to blow it out before you drop off…

Roja

Neroli de Tunise Candle, £295

harrods.com

Nobody does fragrance quite like Roja, and this Neroli de Tunise Candle really is exquisite. The flowers of the bitter orange tree are hand-picked to create the citrus-floral Neroli oil used in the candle, that will add an instant feel of luxury to your home.

Evermore London

KANA x Evermore Light Candle, £150

evermorelondon.com

Brand-new from sustainable brand Evermore in collaboration with ceramicist Kana London, this limited edition ceramic outdoor candle offers up to 200-hours of burn time – more than enough to last you through a summer of balmy evenings spent entertaining al fresco. Let notes of bergamot, grapefruit, rosewood and cedar fill your home and garden. The best part? You can put the candle vessel to good use once the wax has run out; Evermore recommends transforming it into a debonair serving dish.

Soak Sunday

Rose Utopia Rose & Sea Salt Scented Candle, £21

soaksunday.com

Aromas of blossoming rose, oceanic sea salt and geranium combine in this pretty pink candle from Soak Sunday.

LOEWE

Tomato Leaves Candle, from £78

loewe.com

Featuring eleven plant essence-based scents including beetroot, oregano and bright tomato leaves, the Spanish label’s new home fragrance range is as diverse and bountiful as the vegetable gardens that inspired them. Creative Director Jonathan Anderson sought to evoke the smells of his childhood, crafting scents that are ‘part Victorian botanical garden, part apothecary’. All come in delightfully tactile, colourful terracotta pots – based on a 5th century Greek mug – with beautifully illustrated packaging.

Jo Malone London

Pastel Macaroons Townhouse Candle, £96

jomalone.co.uk

Inspired by six classic scents and moments in a British townhouse (such as the iconic Jo Malone London townhouse), this new collection of scented candles include ‘glowing embers’ and ‘green tomato vine’. But for something really indulgent, opt for the Pastel Macaroons fragrance for a sugary warm almond aroma that is (almost) good enough to eat. The stunning new ceramic casing will look beautiful in your home office or on your dressing table, too.

Aromatherapy Associates

De-Stress Candle, £50

aromatherapyassociates.com

For the first time Aromatherapy Associates has released a collection of its most loved blends as candles. De-Stress, Deep Relax, Rose and Revive are all made from 100 per cent natural vegan soy wax, with the equivalent of up to two bottle of essential oil packed into each pot.

Acqua di Parma

Luce di Colonia, from £60

acquadiparma.com

This unmistakeably Italian candle features fresh notes of citrus, followed by floral undertones and woody base notes. Think orange and lemon, as well as patchouli, neroli and vetiver. A fresh scent that will liven up any room.

Buccellati

Violet & Musk Murano Candle, £175

buccellati.com

Italian brand Buccellati is best known for its fine jewellery, but it also offers an exquisite candle collection along with silver candle holders. Our top pick is the Opera base made with mauve Murano glass containing the violet and musk scented candle.

Discothèque

Upstairs, £45

discothequefragrances.com

A vibrant and smokey scent to recreate the feel of soft pink lipstick shimmering through raindrops, a hint of freesia in the air, the faint scent of clove and the fresh wet pavement. Violet leaf, white rose and peach blend with freesia and lily before smouldering in a clove, tobacco and cinnamon base.

Carrière Frères

Acacia, £60

carrierefreres.co.uk

A quick whiff of this candle will fill your senses with sweet and floral notes, underscored by a honey-like fragrance. Perfect for summer. This fragrance is also part of Carrière Frères’s refill range, meaning you can continue to use the original glass container from your first candle and fill it up with its vegetable wax refill (for a fraction of the cost).

Helm London

Peppercorn & Raspberry Candle, £29

helmlondon.com

Helm is best known for its eco-conscious candles, which are hand-poured by artisans in the UK and made using soy wax, essential oils and cotton wicks. Our pick is the Peppercorn & Raspberry candle, a fruity scent layered with sweet and savoury notes as well as an undercurrent of florals, berries and peppercorns.

Alexander McQueen

Ghost Flower Candle, £295

alexandermcqueen.com

Alexander McQueen recently launched a brand new line of candles, made up of three signature scents: Ghost Flower, Pagan Rose and Savage Bloom. Each scent has been created by a different perfumer, who were given an open brief to reinterpret the McQueen codes.

Of the three, it’s Ghost Flower that has caught our eye (or at least, our nose) – think floral notes of fresh freesia and peony with an underlying wave of patchouli. Each candle in the collection has been crafted using a combination of black mineral waxes and rapeseed wax, and are housed in an egg-shaped black lacquered glass with a silver, dark or gold metal lid. Very snazzy.

Jo Loves

Two Wick Pomelo Candle, £125

joloves.com

This gorgeous candle is the newest offering from Jo Loves, a label created by renowned perfumer Jo Malone. With notes of vetiver, patchouli and – of course – pomelo, it sits within stunningly crafted hand-blown glass and burns for approximately 98 hours.

Floral Street

Sweet Almond Blossom Candle, £38

floralstreet.com

Part of Floral Street’s one-of-a-kind collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum, this candle has a delicate, sweet scent with hints of vanilla, green matcha and tonka bean – a sensory palette inspired by Van Gogh’s Almond Blossoms painting. All of Floral Street’s candles are vegan and cruelty free (as certified by the Vegan Society and PETA), with packaging made from one upcycled waste coffee cup.

Paul Smith

Bookworm Candle, £65

paulsmith.com

The perfect fragrance to crate a cosy space come autumn, Paul Smith’s Bookworm Candle was inspired by the stacks of books and candles in Paul’s office – evoking nostalgic memories of libraries and warming amber. Fragrance notes include grapefruit, amber, Jamaican pimento berry and cedarwood for a calming, spicy scent.

Maison d’Orsay Paris

00:00 Au Sommet, £54

dorsay.com

A fresh, woody scent for the cooler months, Maison d’Orsay’s 00:00 Au Sommet fragrance evokes memories of pine needles and open forests – with smoky tones of incense adding a lingering warmth to the scent profile.

The White Company

Love Candle, £22

thewhitecompany.com

Looking to spread the love this International Women’s Day? You can do just that with The White Company, which has just released its new Love candle. A soft and aromatic blend of amber, tonka bean and oud, the candle has been poured and hand-finished in the UK – and £10 from every candle sold will go to The Prince’s Trust and its #ChangeAGirlsLife campaign, which helps young women facing disadvantage and adversity to get the support they need to build a better future.
