Finding the right candle(s) for your home isn’t a task to be taken lightly. The aroma you set is often the first impression you make on a guest — whether you want to be known as a woody cedar or fresh citrus is up to you. Aside from fragrance, candles can also be used to add a layer of warmth and “hygge” to any room — the flickering flames offer a soft light in the form of an orange-tinted glow. And despite being cheapened to a last-minute gift, the right candles can make for a perfect stocking stuffers or housewarming gift for loved ones, close and distant. Below, find some of the best-smelling candles to buy this year — including classic choices such as Le Labo and Diptyque and playful releases such as this Literie’s new Real Housewives collection and Homesick’s upcoming Harry Potter collab. Courtesy of Literie The most iconic moments from the Real Housewives franchise are commemorated in this new candle collection from Literie, which features a diverse lineup of four scented candles: Flipping Tables (cedar and suede), September, Spring, Summer (grass and juniper), Go to Sleep! (fresh lavender) and Nine Lemons in a Bowl (citrus and ivy).
