Top 5 Autumn/Winter Candles

There's nothing quite like coming home after a long day, and cosying up with a beautifully scented candle filling your home. I don't really use candles throughout the rest of the year, but something about Autumn + Winter brings out the candle collector in me! I thought I would share with you my top five for this time of year. I hope you enjoy! 
  
Yankee Candle Autumn Night
This seems quite a fitting one to start with as I write this on an Autumn Night! The candle itself is dark in colour contained in the Yankee Candle Trademark Jar, with a gorgeous picture on the front of two lanterns and a copper coloured tree against the dark nights sky. The scent from the candle is very earthy, with hints of lavender and woodland notes. It's not extremely overpowering, but you notice it when you walk into a room, which is what I look for from a candle! You can purchase this candle in 5 different sizes: 

  • Small Jar £8.99 (Provides 25-40hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Medium Jar £18.99 (Provides 65-90hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Large Jar £21.99 (Provides 110-150hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Tealights £6.99 (Provides 4-6hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Sampler Votive Candle - £1.80 (Provides up to 15hrs of fragrance) 
  • Tarts Wax Melts - £1.49 (Provides up to 8hrs of fragrance) 



Yankee Candle Cosy By The Fire 
If you could take Christmas and all the scents it encompasses and pop it in a jar this would be it! It smells incredible with a mix of ginger, clove and orange teamed with hints of wood. It's perfect for when you get nearer to Christmas and want to get into the Festive Spirit! I love to use it while wrapping presents with Christmas songs on to really overload on the festivities! (Just always make sure to keep the candle away from the presents or it will be very late night shopping for you!) You can purchase this candle in 5 different sizes: 
  • Small Jar £8.99 (Provides 25-40hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Medium Jar £18.99 (Provides 65-90hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Large Jar £21.99 (Provides 110-150hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Tealights £6.99 (Provides 4-6hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Sampler Votive Candle - £1.80 (Provides up to 15hrs of fragrance) 
  • Tarts Wax Melts - £1.49 (Provides up to 8hrs of fragrance) 



John Lewis Snow Scene Candle 
This candle is for purely decorative purposes, but it is absolutely stunning! It is made to look like a snow globe and I love the concept so much! Presented in a tumbler style glass is a clear candle that looks like beautifully bubbly water (or champers...it is nearly Christmas after all), at the bottom is a cute little scene of a Church in the snow. It is beautiful and will make a great decoration for any room. It is not scented, but I think the visuals make up for it! You can purchase this candle in 2 different sizes: 
  • Medium £15.00 (Provides 20hrs Burn Time)
  • Large £22.00 (Provides 40hrs Burn Time) 


Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie
Everyone loves the festive smell of Christmas, and everyone loves the delicious smell of baking. Put them together and you get this irresistible candle that will entice your tastebuds (just don't eat the candle..!) Gorgeously creamy in colour and set in the traditional Yankee Candle Jar, with a Christmas cookie image on the front. Once lit, the smell is a rich and buttery vanilla - just like you have treats baking in the oven! I love it so much and I know you will too! You can purchase this candle in 5 different sizes: 
  • Small Jar £8.99 (Provides 25-40hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Medium Jar £18.99 (Provides 65-90hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Large Jar £21.99 (Provides 110-150hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Tealights £6.99 (Provides 4-6hrs of Fragrance) 
  • Sampler Votive Candle - £1.80 (Provides up to 15hrs of fragrance) 
  • Tarts Wax Melts - £1.49 (Provides up to 8hrs of fragrance) 


Lily-Flame Christmas Day Scented Candle Tin 
This candle is perfect (and very aptly named) for lighting on Christmas morning when opening your presents with family or when you have your Christmas dinner! It would also make a lovely gift for someone as it's beautifully presented in a red and gold Christmas tin! Inside is the candle which has four little red star like pieces that add an extra warmth to the scent! This candle is described as "creating a warm and delicious atmosphere to savour + enjoy" with a blend of White Cedar + Nutmeg! The candle is about a medium size, costs £9 and provides up to 35hrs of fragrance! 

I hope you enjoyed my selection of Autumn and Winter candles! Excuse me while I go and light some and bake some cookies! 

Thanks for reading!
