10 scented candles for every woman you are
For every woman, there is a scented candle to match her character,
You’re fancy
What can you say, you’ve got expensive taste! Naturally, only Diptyque will do for your well-appointed abode. And not just your run-of-the-mill Feu de Bois, either. We’re talking a niche scent (a reinterpretation of a potpourri found in the original boutique) housed in a striking handcrafted pot. Diptyque le redouté scented candle, $115, holtrenfrew.com
You’re boho
You collect crystals, adorn your walls in macramé hangings and breeze around the house barefoot in kimonos and caftans. We recommend keeping the chill vibes going with this celestial-themed candle, a sensual swirl of white jasmine and cedar wood aptly named “Eclipse.” Urban Outfitters iridescent boho glass candle in Eclipse, $34, urbanoutfitters.com
You’re romantic
Because nothing brings you more joy than fresh-cut flowers or a good love story, infuse some unabashed girlishness into your life with this delightful candle. The pink-tinged glass alone (it’s embossed with a delicate floral design and topped with a scalloped edge) will make your heart skip, but it’s the juicy splash of lychee and pear that will really hook you. Volupsa Japonica scalloped edge embossed glass candle, $31, nordstrom.com
You’re quirky
You’ve got a personality more colourful than Mindy Lahiri’s wardrobe and harbour a deep loathing of all things beige and boring. Look no further! Decidedly not beige or boring, this zesty scent (it reads like a summertime dessert: Italian lemon, sugared jasmine petals and creamy vanilla) brings the fun with its cheerful pineapple vessel. Illume happy go lucky ceramic pineapple candle in Sugared Blossom, $38, illumecandles.com
You’re classic
When you and your friends discuss Sex and the
City alter-egos, you’re inevitably the Charlotte. That’s because you appreciate all things elegant and traditional, from crisp table linens to tennis whites. Light this floral offering from cult-classic English brand Jo Malone to scent your home in the most sophisticated way. Jo Malone peony and blush suede home candle, $84, jomalone.ca
You’re patriotic
If your Canadian pride extends way beyond Olympic years, show some love to the Great White North with a little something from Vancouver Candle Co. The Canuck label translates our country’s iconic landscapes into scent form. Atlantic is as crisp as the ocean air, while Great Lakes feels like a cottage weekend. Vancouver Candle Co great lakes travel tin candle, $20, vancouvercandleco.com
