The Best Christmas Candle Scents: How to scent your home this Christmas
When the air turns crisp and the nights draw in, there’s nothing quite like the flicker of candlelight from an amber jar to make a home feel warm and inviting. At The Flora Lab, our Christmas candle scents have been thoughtfully crafted to capture the essence of the season, from zesty citrus and festive spices to cosy woods and comforting vanilla.
Whether you’re looking for nice candles to gift, or you’re searching for that perfect scent to fill your home with festive warmth, our limited-edition Christmas candles and winter fragrances are here to make every moment feel magical.
What Are Christmas Candle Scents?
Christmas candle scents are fragrances that instantly evoke the feeling of the festive season, cosy evenings by the fire, the sparkle of twinkling lights, crisp walks and the aroma of freshly baked treats and spiced drinks.
Typical winter candle scents often include warming notes such as:
Sweet orange, Cinnamon and Clove:
For that nostalgic Christmas spice choose our Christmas candle.
Pine and Eucalyptus:
Crisp and green, like a freshly decorated Christmas tree. Alpine Air feels like a crisp walk at the Christmas Tree farm.
Vanilla and Vetiver:
Soft and comforting, Woodland Glow is perfect for winding down.
At The Flora Lab, each of our Christmas candle scents is designed to blend traditional notes with a modern twist, creating luxurious, mood-lifting fragrances that celebrate the beauty of winter.
