PSA: Valentine's Day is coming up soon. To celebrate the special day, you can do a few things to really set the mood, like buy some flowers, cook a delicious meal (or order in), and light up a luxurious candle. While I can't necessarily help with the first two, I specialize in the candle department—and found the 15 best Valentine’s Day candles to prove it.
As I selected the perfect candles for this list, I first considered the aromas that evoke romance. Warm vanilla fragrances immediately came to mind, as did any of the major floral scents like rose and jasmine. Then I found candles with cheeky, on-the-nose names like Snif's "Big Flirt" and Maison Margiela Replica's "On a Date" or "Afternoon Delight." In the end, I found options that are sexy but not overpowering. None of these are cloyingly sweet, either—these are the grown-up options that aim to please, not give you (or your guests) a headache. Plus, they hail from editor-favorite brands like Diptyque, Byredo, Jo Malone London, and more.
