Whether you’re a winter girlie or not, there’s nothing cosier than the subtle scent and flickering glow of a candle filling the room while snugged up with a good book (or doom scrolling through TikTok, we’re not judging).
While summer has us reaching for citrus and floral scents (or anything that will make us feel like we’re strolling through the streets of Capri), nothing beats the comforting warm wafting notes of a winter fragrance. Cinnamon, clove, vanilla or sandalwood. Whatever your vice, we’ve rounded up the best candles to get you through the chilly season.
