From candles that crackle like fire to ones that make your home smell like a bakery, there are tons of winter candles to choose from.
It’s official, winter is here and so is the chilly weather. And nothing helps to celebrate the season of sweater weather and all things cozy quite like a scented candle.
From large candles that can burn for hours on end and fill your home with classic winter fragrances, to smaller, more distinctive-smelling ones to light on special occasions this season, simple candle jars or more artistic candle holders a candle to make your entire place smell like cinnamon or balsam fir is a fantastic way to craft that cozy feeling in your home (and nose).
When it comes to selecting the perfect scented candle, there are two aspects to focus on: wax and smell. Soy wax generally has a longer burn time, while paraffin wax is known to produce a more pungent smell as it melts. You really can’t go wrong with popular seasonal scents such as vanilla or pine birchwood, but if you’re trying to corner the market on a signature scent for your space, try going for a less common fragrance, such as hot cocoa or wood smoke.
Whatever it is that you’re searching for in a candle, there’s one out there that will most definitely light your fire. Here are 10 great smelling candles on Amazon to fill your home (and nose) with cozy winter.
