One of my favorite places to shop for candles is Selfridges. It has most of the best designer candles all under one roof. And you can almost bet that all of them are going to make beautiful additions to your home, too. But since some of them tend to be a little expensive, Selfridges' Summer Sale is the best time to get your carts ready.
Whether you're shopping for something that'll make your home smell good, looking for gifts, or just yearning to treat yourself to a stylish and delicious-scented candle, I have a feeling this sale (where most candles are 15% off) has something that'll tickle your fancy. So, I'm sharing my favorite ones to shop.
All with the Livingetc stamp of approval, of course, these scented candles look good and smell great. Without further ado, let's explore the fragrance notes that best suit you.
MIRROR WATER is the wellness brand I've been crushing on lately. And this blend of bergamot, sweet balsam, amber, pine, cedarwood, and sandalwood is a lovely way to make your home smell like summer.
If you're into fashion candles, then you need to smell this marriage of cedarwood, mandarin, and benzoin accords from Prada. It's one of the rare instances where loud luxury shines.
Expect notes of bergamot, clary sage, lavender, geranium, myrrh, patchouli, vanilla, and tobacco in this minimalist candle from Valentino. And also on sale is the Crystal-Glass Candle Holder pictured above.
After reporting on the scents I spotted in The Devil Wears Prada 2 (boots-on-the-ground journalism, if you will), I haven't been able to get this uber-cool candle and my recommendation for Emily out of my mind. The lemon, leather, and milky notes are too good to pass up.
L'Objet is home to some of the best scented candles. However, they are often priced high, in part due to the impressive design and the sumptuous scent blends. But if you want a maximalist, earthy candle to bring home, this conversation starter needs to be on your radar.
Rhubarb, tomato leaves, blackcurrant, geranium, and myrrh are my favorite notable notes in this tall scented candle from Fornasetti. To me, it's the perfect way to make your entryway smell welcoming.
Mint, vanilla, apple, and jasmine weave together a soft, pleasant fragrance in this opulent alabaster candle from Trudon. While it fits into a minimalist home, the scent is truly impactful.
After smelling Evermore's stylish diffusers, I went back to sniff their candles. This 'Tides' scent is so refreshing and feels like a soothing option for summer layering.
I'm still on the tomato scent trend, and this chrome candle from AOTROM is next on my list of fragrances to channel that ripe garden ambiance. Plus, it looks so chic on a coffee table.
