The Best Luxury Scented Candles

Contents show

Are you exploring scented candles and home fragrances? The point is smell matters. You can look terrible, but you always have to smell good – never the other way around. Scented candles and Home fragrances create an atmosphere; they tell stories and speak of something deeper. They are as powerful a force on us as they are romantic.

“Redolence” is a concept that’s as beautiful as the sound of the word itself. Taken from Old French, from re(d)– ‘back, again’ and olere ‘to smell’, it means the emotions and memories created upon smelling a scent. The classic example is the thoughts and feelings evoked from freshly brewed coffee in the morning, or a passing fragrance from a person in the street that transports you to a time or place in childhood.

While fragrances for the person have consistently been seen as necessary, it’s only in the last few years that scented candles and home fragrances for our spaces have taken on a similar import level. You might attribute this to the rise in independent, boutique fragrance brands, but whatever the reason, there’s now a wealth of beautiful scents for us to experience and light up our living spaces.

From the more established independent brands empowering everyone in their supply chain to small, hyperlocal family labels nestled in ancient city streets, we gathered some of our favourite scented candles and home fragrances.

Sana Jardin – Tiger By Her Side

Sana Jardin – Tiger By Her Side

Established by former aid worker and social justice policy advocate Amy Christensen, Sana Jardin is a fragrance company that aims to go ‘beyond' the buzzword of sustainability by focussing on economic female empowerment. Using circular economy principles, the brand enables the women harvesters supplying the raw ingredients for Sana Jardin’s fragrances to become entrepreneurs in their own right, offering skills training to develop and upcycle remaining raw materials to create and sell their products in their local economies themselves. On the cusp of 2021, we say this is where sound, future-proof businesses must operate. As for the scents themselves, we believe the label’s most popular, Tiger By Her Side, is the best introduction to the brand. With Moroccan rose, Indonesian patchouli, and Somali incense notes, the base is amber—the essential oil for emotional clarity and inner strength.

Byredo Chai – Candle

Byredo Chai – Candle

Following a chance encounter with perfumer Pierre Wulff, native Swede Ben Gorham left a painting career to pursue an alternative creative endeavour based on olfactory senses rather than visual. Teaming up with industry leaders Olivia Giacobetti and Jerome Epinette, luxury brand Byredo was founded in Stockholm in 2006. Its inviting scents and sleek design have gained global attention, showing that Gorham’s aesthetic eye hasn’t gone to waste. Nothing quite exudes warmth like the fragrance of Chai, and Byredo’s has a feel of nostalgia behind it, sparked by Gorham’s childhood memories of time spent with his grandmother and mother in their home country of India. The bold spices of Indian Chai Tea are bottled into the distinct Byredo monochrome candle for a familial, recognizable feel coupled with a chic aesthetic.

Timothy Han / Edition – The Decay of the Angel

Timothy Han / Edition – The Decay of the Angel

We wrote earlier that scents tell stories, but consult Timothy Han for fragrances that take that idea one step further. The master perfumer and his brand, Timothy Han / Edition, proudly declare their debt to literature and the authors and poets that inspired us through the centuries. With perfume names directly lifted from great, although in numerous instances, niche or overlooked, works of literature, the brand demands us to recognize the romantic power of scent (they even sell the pieces on their website, alongside their scents). Interestingly for our age, where the emphasis is on ‘natural’ ingredients that come into contact with the body, Timothy Han doesn’t shy away from using nature-identical ingredients (and telling us when they do). The reason is simple: ethics.

A classic example would be musk—an essential scent, but one in which to achieve the ‘natural’ scent would mean killing the animal itself. This is unacceptable, and Han should draw a line in the sand about this. Our selection from his current collection is the evocatively titled The Decay of the Angel, a rich and exotic burnt floral fragrance inspired by Yukio Mishima’s 1971 novel of the same name.

Tom Dixon — Swirl Ball Scented Candle

Tom Dixon — Swirl Ball Scented Candle

In any interior of British product designer Tom Dixon, no item is too small to be ordinary. The expert creator of ‘exceptional everyday items’ shot to fame in the mid-1980s with his innovative furniture design, continuing while collecting a host of awards to enjoy his current status as one of Britain’s most celebrated and original designers. Like most Dixon products, the Swirl Ball candle has a life of its own, and an afterlife at that – made from powdered residue from the marble industry, this sustainable piece is intended to serve a purpose long after the wax has disappeared: as a design object, it can be appreciated and displayed in its own right. With its splashy, eye-catching colours, patterns and distinct geometric shapes, it certainly has no difficulty finding the centre stage for its artistry beyond an appealing aroma.
