Scents Of The Season!

- October 25, 2023
Nothing heralds the beginning of the holiday season more than the scent of a holiday candle throughout your home! The holidays are right around the corner and getting your home ready for the season is just as important as the gift purchases you will be making shortly!! The glow of the candle creates an ambiance in your home that is part of the the holiday atmosphere.
Candles are a wonderful gift to give a friend. Candles make for a great hostess gift too. They are a gift that keeps giving as the candle will last well beyond the holiday! Candles are available in a wide range of price points. Luxury candles have been trending for some time and according to what we have read are becoming even more popular.
Candles are a decorative accent for your home and are a sought after accessory! They can be arranged in a grouping on a coffee table or organized on living rooms shelves. They look equally at home on your bedroom end table or on your kitchen island.
The most popular candle scents at Thanksgiving are sweet pumpkin, apple pie, woodsy tree scents, smoky scents, or vanilla. As we head closer to the holidays the most favored scents are pine, ginger, cinnamon, sugary holiday cookies, or a clean scent that reminds you of a winter day.
Don’t forget the diffuser! Diffusers are available in many beautiful holiday scents and will serve the same purpose as a candle in making your home holiday ready!
We both really, really like candles! In truth we are burning candles at both our homes almost daily! We both have had personal experience with these candles and feel confident suggesting them to you for your home. We also acknowledge that scent is personal preference.
Scents Of The Season!
Seasonal Candles
The Illume Mercury Leaves Glass Candle Val loves is scented with pumpkin and cardamom. The smell is amazing and reminds us so much of autumn! How cute is the pumpkin shape!? Williams Sonoma has a nice arrangement of holiday candles and the Spiced Chestnut and Pumpkin Spice are two of our favorites! Pick up some of the similar scented hand lotion.
Thymes has a line up of seasonal scents and this Gingerbread scent is just so yummy!! Your family will thank you when you burn this candle!!
Holiday Candles
One of Val’s favorite candles during the holiday is the Ralph Lauren Holiday Candle. The underlying notes are evergreen, red currant and juniper. This candle really packs a Christmas punch! Seriously!
The Illume Mercury Balsam & Cedar Ornament Candle would be a great hostess gift. The mercury glass ornament is s pretty!
Illume has another distinctive candle called the Cozy Cashmere Gilded Tree. The scent is called Peppermint Whip and it has notes of crushed peppermint, candied berries and vanilla sugar! Yummy!
Pine scented candles are one of the most popular candles sold at the holidays and Voluspa Noble Fir Garland and Thyme Frasier Fir Four Wick Candle will definitely be the candles for you if this is the scent you like in your home during the holidays!!
Jo Malone is a brand we both really like for their beautiful luxury scented candles and bath and beauty products. The Pine & Eucalyptus Candle screams Christmas!!! Candles have been known to lift your mood and spirit and this candle will most certainly do that! This Lafco candle is in a league of its own. The description of this candle per the Lafco company says it best…. “Fresh pine falls on curls of sandalwood and rare Virginia cedar wood. Smoky leather accords, frankincense, and nuances of vanilla are tranquil and comforting.” The candle is a perfect choice for the holidays and beyond!
Look at the beautiful container that the Diptyque Sapin Candle comes in! Sensational! The candle scent is pine so it works for the holiday.
Holiday Diffusers
The benefit of a diffuser is you can place it anywhere in your house. Many people like to place a small diffuser in their powder room. Diffusers are a perfect hostess gift too!
