What could possibly be more cozy than a Gingerbread-scented candle? It’s perfect for lighting up while wrapping yourself in your fave chunky-knit throw blanket, sipping on Hot Cocoa, and watching Hallmark Christmas movies. I can’t think of a better way to spend the season, to be honest.

Fresh Balsam 3-Wick Candle
Ahh, so fresh! Five seconds after lighting this bad boy, and I feel like I’ve been transported into a lush woodland forest, right after rainfall. This is thanks to the loveliest combination of scents, including cedarwood, crisp eucalyptus, and woodland balsam. Absolutely divine.

Aspen Candle
Currently living for the après-ski scent wafting from this refined candle. It’s perfectly reminiscent of a cozy lodge nestled right by the ski slopes. Picture yourself inside this cozy Aspen lodge, as you sip your red wine and warm your feet in front of the cackling fireplace, as the snow swirls outside. As you bask in the atmosphere, you inhale the scent of smoke, snowcapped pine, vintage cedarwood, tooled leather, and golden embers. Sound magical? If so, this candle is your new best friend.

I love the warm combination of toasted marshmallow, smoldering woods, and roasted vanilla. Like, what could be more merry than combining these delightful scents into one unabashedly festive aroma?
