I've always tried my very best to live a life of Blair Waldorf-esque luxury, despite being broke. There's an art to scouting out lavish products that seem expensive, but are actually super reasonably priced. I've mastered that particular art form, and by doing so, I've managed to find the most lavishly scented candles that'll make your home smell opulent and gorgeous for days on end.
If you're anything like me, a good fragrance is essential. Whether I'm lighting one by the bathtub for ultimate relaxation or leaving one lit in my kitchen to make my home smell luxurious, I need to have the best of the best. That doesn't have to mean spending hundreds of dollars because some of my favorite scents smell more expensive than they are.
Here are the absolute best 'rich girl' candles that'll make your home smell like a million bucks.

H&M 'Incense Ritual'
I'm in love with this candle's warm cedar smell, intermixed with the spicy cardamom and earthy incense. It makes my home smell divine, as though I'm stepping inside the most expensive hug imaginable.

Discothèque
Discothèque 'Crisco Disco'
I recently hosted a classy steak-and-red-wine night with my closest friends, and I lit this candle for ambience during our meal. None of my friends could concentrate on their delicious food, because everyone was so overwhelmed by how lavish and delicious Discothèque Crisco Disco smells.

Is this the freshest, cleanest scent in the world? Honestly, it might just be. I'm obsessed. 11 out of 10 on this one.
