With androgynous musky scents and herbaceous floral ones, here are a few of our most beloved scents to burn.
Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.
"Having natural scented candles at home is such a pleasure these days. I love Le Labo candles but recently discovered Lomar Farms's Mountain Honey. It's heavenly." — Darrick Harris, Visuals Director
"Even in the depths of winter, this decadent candle (with notes of figs and dewy green leaves) makes my apartment feel like a lazy summer afternoon on the Mediterranean coast." — Lauren Hubbard, Contributor
"They never last long enough and I go through them like tissues. The best candle in the land, in my humble opinion, is Costa Brazil's vela, which lights up a room not just by virtue of its aroma but because of its chic packaging." — Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
"Reduce, reuse, recycle—that's the name of the game these days. I'm utterly obsessed with Siblings, a clean candle company that sells, essentially, candle refills in compostable packaging. I finally have a way to utilize all those empty candle containers and jars I've held onto for aesthetic value. Now they can have a second life as a totally new candle with one of Siblings's various (delicious) scents! Genius." — Meg Donohue, Contributor
"I am in love with this Travel Candle from Blithe and Bonny! Having done a lot of traveling this past year from coast to coast, it’s so wonderful having my scents from home with me. Jasmine is my favorite, but with 23 different scents there are so many to choose from!" — Ashleigh Macdonald-Bennett, Deputy Managing Editor
"I have been devoted to Cire Trudon's minty Abd El Kader for years, but recently my affections have drifted to a new flame: Proletaire, a beautiful fresh lily-of-the-valley, is the perfect scent to set me dreaming of an early spring." — April Long, Beauty Director
"When it's good, it's good, and Le Labo's Santal 26 scent is definitely good. Fragrant without being overbearing and the scent of many a New York establishment lets you bring a little bit of luxury home with you. It is my favorite candle to burn for any and all occasions." — Cassandra Hogan, Fashion Assistant
"The new NoHo lounge The Nines has become something of a T&C canteen, so it made perfect sense when Ken Downing, the fashion bon vivant and new chief brand officer for Hearst's Luxury Collections E-Commerce, organized a New York Fashion Week dinner there. The parting gift for all? This Bibliothèque candle, which travels much better than what I actually wanted to bring home: the baked potato overflowing with caviar." — Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
"I will be the first to admit that I am a huge candle snob, so a candle has to be pretty great for me to love it. This Boy Smells one is almost constantly burning in my apartment, and I immediately order a backup as soon as I start nearing the bottom of the jar. The warm, woody scent always gets me compliments when people visit, and the jars are super cute!" — Breana Crews, Freelance Fashion Assistant
"Sage is historically burned to clear spaces of negative energy. I burn Flamingo Estate's Adriatic Muscatel Sage candle whenever my stress levels elevate and I need to cleanse myself and my home. In addition to helping your own space, Flamingo Estate plants a tree for every product sold so it also does good for the planet." — Dania Ortiz, Fashion & Accessories Director
"Do you want your home to smell like the most magical, aromatic herb garden imaginable? I know I do. The Maker's Gardener candle brings the outdoors in with notes of ginger, basil, mint, and tomato leaves, and I love its pretty, vintage-inspired glass vessel too." — April Long, Beauty Director
"I'm not sure what rock I've been living under, but I was entirely unaware that Drake (as in, music icon Drake) created a fragrance house. The limited line of candles are each designed to evoke memories of special moments in time. The candles come with a gold marker and space on the jar for you to write or doodle, making it the perfect gift—or just a fun way to personalize your coffee table decor. I'm eager to get my hands on this one, which features roses, woods, amber, and Ylang Ylang." — Meg Donohue, Contributor
"Everything from the glossy ceramic canister, to the sleek shape, and obviously the hypnotic scent of woody-yet-fresh notes of sandalwood, dry tree bark and spice is to die for. But the fact that these candles are refillable? It makes them a worthy of a permanent place in your home."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Senior Digital Editor
"It is hard to describe how much I love this candle. The sweet scent of Moroccan orange blossom, neroli and just a touch of musk is what I dream of wafting through my home on a daily basis. It's like the first warm summer night in a candle. That's the only way I can describe it."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Senior Digital Editor
