Scented candles are small but mighty. By lighting one, you can totally transform the energy and vibe of a room. Sure, that might sound a little hippie-ish, but it’s true. If you’re having a stressful day, you can light a scented candle and relaxing scents of lavender, evergreen or linen will waft into the room. Even watching the flame dance around in the glass jar is vaguely soothing and adds a new layer of warm into any room. It makes it cozy, even if it’s ordinarily a cold or severe-looking room.
Candles are also a cost-effective way of practicing self-care. Plus, they don’t take up that much valuable space. You can just plop one on a dresser or the kitchen counter and call it day. They’re one of the most low-maintenance ways of transforming your home. They’re an underrated piece of home decor.
For all of these reasons, we rounded up the best scented candles. These candles feature three very different scents, so it might be hard to choose which one is right for you. There’s one relaxing scent, one refreshing scent and one festive scent. They all have 40+ hours of burn time, too, so you won’t burn through one in a single day.
