WICKED WICKS
We know you want a scented candle for Christmas. Leave this page open by the loo to ensure you receive one of these greats
GLOSSIER You candle
Worship Glossier’s sell-out skin scents? You’re not alone. Now your home can sport them, too. This whisper-soft and cosy, cashmere blanket-like blend of pink pepper, iris, ambrette and ambrox is best for sofa days. £37 (uk.glossier.com)
TATA HARPER Into the Forest candle
Conjuring up the smell of a favourite pine tree-filled corner of Tata’s famous Vermont farm, this wintry wick is said to imitate the benefits of forest bathing, easing feelings of stress and anxiety. £72.99 (tataharperskincare.com)
HENRY HOLLAND STUDIO Studio 50 candle
Eighteen months in the making, these candles arrive in a handmade ceramic chalice that we’ll use long after the wick has gone. With bergamot, leather and cedarwood, this is a must for fig fans. £95 (henryhollandstudio.com)
D’ORSAY 21:30 Sous Les Draps candle
Nudes frolic freely around this candle, which, with orange, cedar, amber and cumin, brings to mind the moment when sparks (and clothes) begin to fly. Fire it up to find your festive… spirit. £55, at harrods.com
VYRAO Ember Candle
With birch tar, cedarwood and frankincense, this smoky treat not only smells like the wood fire we all wished we had, but also incorporates a talisman supercharged by the brand’s Quantum Energist to ward off bad juju. Handy.
