THE MOOD-ENHANCERS

Beauty Pie Pomegranate & Baies Rose, £14 (plus membership fee from £5 a month). When everything seasonal starts smelling a little too church-y, this pomegranate and rose candle emits just enough cinnamon and clove to be of-the-moment yet brightening and pretty. And considering it burns for 50 hours and is made with oils from Grasse, it’s cheap at the price.

Floral Street in Fireplace, £28. Smoking hot... thanks to plenty of leather, birch and agarwood with just a touch of raspberry, this candle reeks of throwing another log on the fire.

Jo Malone White Moss & Snowdrop Deluxe Candle, £126. Everything points to ‘twinkly’ in this joyous fragrant candle, which was inspired by snowdrop petals peeking through powdery snow, and comes in shimmering opalescent pink glass. Think golden amber enriched with cardamom and you’re almost there.
