Like a warm embrace that calms the nerves, a scent can be the much needed cure at the end of a long day. Forget that tempting glass of wine or whisky — you know you can’t stop at just one —, and heed our advice. It’s time to get one of these fresh bad-boys, light up and chill out.

Like the rest of the brand’s candles, the best-selling To Be Calm Travellers Journey White Tea & Ginger uses high quality natural soy wax and cotton wick.

Inspired by the idea of a traditional library, Byredo Bibliothèque Candle has notes of peach, plum, peony, violet, patchouli, vanilla and, yes, leather. At Escentials.

Nars Oran blends tuberose, white gardenia blossoms, violette, jasmine, heliotrope, styrax, resin and leafy greens into one interesting scent.

Can a candle smell as yummy as the Nars Jaipur? Only if it, too, has citrus, pomegranate and floral notes on a base of amber and vanilla.

Diptyque Baies Candle is the wax counterpart of the brand’s L’Ombre dans l’Eau EDT so expect a similar whiff of roses and blackcurrant leaves. At Escentials.

This is the one for fans of orange blossom. We’re talking about the Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM Candle. At Escentials.

When you need a refreshing pick-me-up, light the Mt. Sapola Ginger-Lemongrass Beeswax Candle.

Not your standard scent, Cire Trudon Ernesto Candle has a base note of tobacco. At Escentials.

If you want your home to smell like your fave EDP, there’s the Fresh Life Candle.
