THE BEST CHRISTMAS CANDLES & FESTIVE SCENTS, 2020
Christmas came early this year. So, if you're not yet feeling the festive mood, try filling your home with the inspiring smells of the season to kick-start your Yuletide cheer, whatever is happening around you.
Whether it's interpretations of the pine and herbal aromas of a real tree to scrumptious spicy notes of cinnamon, ginger and orange or the warming, smoky, fireside-ready formulas that are as comforting as a cashmere blanket, there's a scent that will transform your home into a winter wonderland.
Here are the best Christmas candles and home scents that will help you to spark some festive joy this season.
