Sweaters? Check. Sweatpants? Check. Hot chocolate? Of course. With the holidays fast approaching you want to be at your most snugly and although your list may seem complete, it’s not really finished until you add scented candles. Don’t underestimate them because the right scent will put you in the holiday spirit faster than a glass of your beloved eggnog.
Picking the right candle is just like picking the right lipstick — it needs to be perfect for the occasion and perfect for you. This season calls for a mixture of spice, musk and nostalgia. Hints of wood like pine and woodland vanilla translate into a calming and earthy scent. But nothing brings more joy, excitement and flashbacks than candy cane, cinnamon, apple and gingerbread aromas.
Check out the slideshow above for the best scented candles that offer the full holiday experience.
