Favourite Winter Candles

In winter there’s nothing I love more than snuggling up with Matt under a cosy blanket, switching on one of our favourite box sets and lighting a fragrant candle. These are my top picks which see us through the winter months…

Yankee Candle Sugared Apple – £9.95 
A deliciously sweet scent of apples sprinkled with sugar and vanilla, this is my all time favourite candle and reminds me of apple crumble – yum!

Holiday Traditions Apple Pie & Pumpkin Pie – £5.99
These huge jars were a bargain found in one of my favourite stores, Homesense. The Apple Pie candle gives a more savoury apple scent than Sugared Apple whilst Pumpkin Pie is a beautiful blend of warm pumpkin, ginger and nutmeg. All the comforts of baking without the fuss!

L’Occitane Candied Fruits – £13
Ideal for using over the Christmas period, Candied Fruits is a combination of flowers and dried fruits coated in honey, with a patchouli and vanilla base. A more subtle and spicy fragrance than my other picks.

Bath & Body Works Frosted Cupcake – $20
I’ve always been desperate to get my hands on the ever popular Bath & Body Works candles, so when Matt went to the US for a work conference last year, I sent him with a list! Frosted Cupcake fills the house with notes of vanilla bean, cake batter and rich buttercream frosting – a sweet fragrance as mouth-watering as real cupcakes!

Which are your favourite candles for winter?

    I love seeing bath and body works in posts, wish they had a store over here in the UK. I share your love for candles, they're so calming! I've been sat job hunting all day every day this week and I feel like I couldn't get by if I didn't have a few t lights lit xxxx

    I didn't realise L'Occitane did candles! I will have to try one. I have a lovely vanilla and clove candle from Zing Organics which smells amazing!

    I need to buy new candles but I cannot find candles that smell A-MAAAA-ZING ! Need to try these ones 🙂 Or maybe Yankee Candles. What do you think Amy ?
