Olfactory titillation might just help you survive the FOMO of festivities this season amidst the pandemic. Lighting up the right scent in your drawing room/bedroom will not only transport you to dream destinations filled with snow or sun – whichever is your pick, but is also the only way to get as close as you can to a vacation. Here are some candles that will make your space luxuriously fragrant any time of the day – be it a night in with a glass of chardonnay or a brunch with your close friends.
1.Dior – Thé Osmanthus
Fashion and fragrance never amalgamated better than Dior’s exclusive aroma. Roots from Greek words ‘osma’ meaning fragrant and ‘anthos’ meaning flower this scent is imbued with apricot. Revitalising the ancient tea ceremony Thé Osmanthus is created specially by the brand’s perfumer making it the ultimate juggernaut of candles.

3. Molton Brown – Black Peppercorn
Staying home this December can smell spicy. Yes, spicy! Undertones of amber and bergamot overlaid with refreshing coriander and a black peppercorn wick may not sound exactly soothing, but those in search of unusual scents are in luck. Cutting through the earthly hues of ginger and balancing whiff with the citrus of orange invokes memories of a crisp festive dinner in the kitchen.

4. Bombay Perfumery – Seven Islands
With a heart of jasmine, violet and peach uplifted with grapefruit and orange blossom, seven islands is the quintessential fragrance that reminisces of tides rolling over white sand beaches. This infamous Bombay Perfumery’s equilibrium in the musky and marine aroma is your go-to pick for a sunny Christmas.

5. Le Labo – Santal 26
If you thought leather wasn’t a luxury scent – think again. Comprising of the cult collection of Le Labo Santal 26 is the classic to opt for when indecisive. A minimal and gender-neutral label, when lit exudes a smoky leathery whiff filling personality into the room.
