It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas…
It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas…
1. Perfect Peace, Neom Organic
British brand Neom Organics has created a dreamy festive collection for 2017. Here at Cosmo HQ, we’re particularly fond of Perfect Peace, a with pine, myrrh and lime peel notes, there is no denying just how Christmassy it is, and the brains at Neom also claim that its 25 pure essential oils will calm you down and lift tension… much needed after a stressful day Christmas shopping!

2. Winter Berries Small Scented Candle, Annabel James
You cannot go wrong with winter berries, and Annabel James has paired them with cinnamon here for the ultimate Christmassy combo. We also love the cute bee motif on the jar. This is a rich, luxe winter fragrance, and thanks to the company’s no-chemical policy, this plant wax is so pure that you can even use it as a very festive moisturiser for your skin while it’s still warm.

3. Christmas Gift Set, Diptyque
Something we’d all be delighted to find in our stockings come Christmas Day, a trio of mini-Diptyque candles. The 2017 holiday collection has three difference scents, the Frosted Forest (Unicorn) Candle, Fiery Orange (Dragon) Candle and the Incense Tears (Phoenix) Candle. Team Cosmo is most into the Phoenix, with its combination of frankincense, myrrh and cinnamon. But the citrusy Dragon and fresh pine and mint Unicorn candles are not to be sniffed at… pun totally intended.

4. Green Almond and Redcurrant Scented Candle, Jo Malone
This year Jo Malone is having a Crazy Colourful Christmas, and this pink and green packaging is certainly fits the bill! Eschewing any pine or spicy notes, the perfumery has opted for a very fresh green almond and redcurrant scent that, with a cedar wood base, will fill your home with a festive feel, and look bloomin’ wonderful as it burns!

5. Cinnamon & Orange Botanical Candle, Sophie Allport
What is more festive than a warming orange and cinnamon combination? Nothing! This hefty 690g candle has a 72 hour burn time, which should tide you into the New Year nicely!

6. Christmas Candle, Papermash
Not only does this Papermash candle come in a gorgeous berry and fir print jar, it smells like Christmas in a pot, thanks to its cranberry, fir and cedarwood notes. We approve!

7. Mahogany Balsam, Bath and Body Works
Bath and Body Works regulars will be familiar with the Mahogany Teakwood, well for the holidays they have updated the scent subtly with a festive balsam scent. So if you’re a Mahogany Teakwood regular, swap your masculine and fresh classic for this slightly festive one, to avoid anything OTT.

8. Murano Glass Perfumed Candle, Acqua Di Parma
This Acqua Di Parma is about as high end as candles come! With its fittingly festive red striped Murano Glass jar, expect to smell ginger, whiskey and vanilla as it burns, as well as very Christmassy cloves.

10. Flower Lady Scented Candle, Chase and Wonder
One of our more sophisticated choices! Chase and Wonder’s Flower Lady Scented Candle doesn’t instantly spring out as a festive choice, but let it burn and enjoy the wild berry notes, paired with very green galbanum scent and you’ll be feeling festive in no time.

11. Christmas Jumper Candle, Lime Lace
Now, this doesn’t technically smell festive, but it’s a candle in the shape of a Christmas jumper, so it fits the bill in our books! The only question is, will you be able to bring yourself to burn it?
