Why do we recommend these waxes? Well for starters, they are perfect in supporting the fragrance oil to effectively release it’s aroma into the surrounding air. Secondly, they are far better for the environment than their paraffin wax counterparts. Many of these candle fragrances are available in our scented wax melts. Wax melts are a great way to test the range of scents before committing to a scented candle. Our luxury wax melts can be found here . Wax melts come in many shapes but are generally small enough to fit in or on top of the palm of your hand. With some companies, you’ll even find glitter or botanicals embedded in the surface of them. Scented candles generally have three levels of fragrance: top, central and base notes. Top notes are the first aromas you will notice, while central notes act as the core or heart and the base notes tend to be the prevailing scent, which develops over time. The base and middle notes together form the main theme of the scent.

If you're looking to fill your home with fragrance then you can't go wrong with a diffuser, be it reed or electric. Think of a diffuser as a more subtle yet pervading take on your favourite scented candle, offering up a beautiful hit of fragrance every time you walk past.

Our favourite Autumnal scent is Tonka: a sweet, creamy flavour, often likened to vanilla, mixed with patchouli and cedar for a woody, earthy undertone. The scents are subtle and fill a medium sized room with ease and melt beautifully into the pot without tunnelling. Well crafted wax melts have a strong and beautiful aroma even on cold smell (when the wax is still solid).

The award-winning Scent to Sleep range from Neom is calming in the extreme, making this scented candle the perfect accompaniment to an evening bath – or a great night-time burn for your bedroom.

Soft and dreamy, yet highly effective, it comes from the brand set up by Nicola Elliott, who – after 10 years as a beauty journalist – decided to transform her after-work hobby of aromatherapy into a business in 2005.
