On the bright side, at least winter is the superiorcandleseason.
Lighting a candle is the perfect cozy security blanket against the cold and dark.
Otherland Moonstruck Candle
Another candle in Otherlands winter collection (I couldnt decide on just one!
Opalhouse Cozy Nights Candle
Target
Hey, coziness is in the name.
As in, it smells exactly how I want to spend the rest of winter.
(FYI, several people also recommended the Love Struck Co.sFlannelcandle.
Its sold out at the time of writing this, so I opted for Homebody instead.
But keep your eye out!)
But I would be lying if I said I didnt occasionally love indulging in a truly luxurious candle.
My current favorite is this Cire Trudon pick.
Plus, Votivo has an entireRed Currant collectionso you have plenty of options to match your taste and decor.
For anyone who doesnt have their own fireplace, its a pretty dang acceptable stand in.
In particular, the new citrus spruce offering is my favorite post-Christmas candle.
Frankly, its low-key a little sultry.
I might buy theperfumenext.
Diptyque Feu de Bois Candle
Nordstrom
No candle list is ever complete without a Diptyque entry.
Its smokey and decadent, second only to sitting in front of an actual burning fire.
Square Trade Goods Co. Golden Cedar Candle
Need Supply Co.
It will fill the room with saffron, black vetiver, tobacco, and musky oud.
