My Favorite Candles

We are big candle people at my house, if anyone is home, there are a handful going at once. I love the warm scents, and the cozy mood that candles create. Because I feature them often in photos and Insta stories, I get a lot of questions on my faves. With holiday gifting plans in full swing, here are a few of my faves, for you and yours, from bougie to affordable…

Floral & fruity scents

I should note that all these while floral/fruity, they aren’t overly so. I don’t like scents that are too sweet, too candyish, and too powdery.

• DIPTYQUE ROSES: My favorite scent of Roses
• DIPTYQUE VIOLETTE: Violet, virginia cedar & notes of Iris
• DIPTYQUE TUBÉREUSE: Warm, floral scent
• DIPTYQUE BAIES: Blackcurrant leaves, Blackcurrant buds, Bulgarian roses, Ambergris (Diptyque’s most popular scent)
• DIPTYQUE FIGUIER: Fig leaves, Milky sap, Fig tree wood and bark
• BATH & BODY WORKS ROSE & VANILLA: Roses and a soft vanilla scent

Warm scents

These tend to be my favorite, go-to scents.

• CAPRI BLUE SPICED CIDER: Sparkling berries, ripe grapes, harvest apple, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, fir & vanilla
• CAPRI BLUE PUMPKIN: Buttery pumpkin, orange zest, ginger, cinnamon, clove, brown sugar & vanilla
• DIPTYQUE FEU DE BOIS: May be my fave; smells of an open fire on winter days
• DIPTYQUE AMBRE: Woods vetiver and patchouli, enhanced with radiant aniseed, insolent spices, mysterious incense, cistus & Tonka bean
• BYREDO BIBLIOTHEQUE: My current obsession; a world of old books with scents of plum, peony, violet, patchouli, leather & vanilla
