Catherine Zeta-Jones calls this candle 'the most beautiful thing' she's ever smelled – she has one in every room of her home

Fragrance is what transforms a house into a home. From candles to diffusers to room sprays, a signature scent signals to your brain that you are in a safe space and makes guests say, 'wow' when they walk through the door. Catherine Zeta-Jones swears by Jo Malone's Lime Basil & Mandarin candle to scent her home.

When asked about the best candle, Zeta-Jones told The Strategist: 'When I first became sort of known as an actor in Britain, I was invited to a party for Elton John’s AIDS Foundation. In the gift bag, he gave me one of his scented candles that I probably couldn’t afford at the time. It was the most beautiful thing that I had ever smelled in my life. I cherished it. That was my introduction to scented candles. Now, I really push the boat out when it comes to candles. I’m very specific with them. Jo Malone is such a beautiful brand.'
