34 Best Scented Candles 2023 – Top Smelling Candles

There is nothing better than getting home after a long day of work or errands. A home serves many functional purposes, of course, but we believe your home should feel like more than a place where you rest your head at night—it should be a space that brings peace, joy, and renewal. The smell of your home is connected to how comfortable you’ll feel, and what better way to bring warmth to your space than with a beautifully scented candle?

Whether you’re filling your room with cozy fall-scented fragrances ahead of the new season or if you’re looking for the perfect gift to impress a candle lover, we’ve got the right candle for you. If you prefer florals, there are lovely scents like jasmine and gardenia to transform your space, while those who lean toward richer, muskier profiles will enjoy vanilla, tobacco, or patchouli. The vessels these scents are housed in are equally diverse and gorgeous. There are plenty of options that come ready for gifting (no wrapping paper required) in elegant, sophisticated jars, as well as pretty but practical options like soy votives in reusable decorative stoneware that can later be used to grow seedlings.

You may be thinking that because these picks are so luxurious they come with a hefty price tag. There are plenty of truly special splurges with strong, long-lasting smells, but we also found several wallet-friendly options that will help you feel like you’ve been transplanted to a far-flung tropical destination.
