SHOP: The best scented candles to give as gifts
Whether your fragrance of choice is floral, fruity or nostalgic, we've rounded up our favourite options under £25…
The candle that screams summer
Who knew a Nivea sun cream candle could be so damn intoxicating?! Invigorating wood tones, transparent flower tones and white spice notes create an incomparable experience for the senses. The delicious fragrance creation with the unmistakable scent of the NIVEA SUN sunscreen immediately serves up the lightness of summer, sunshine, love and pure joy.
The showstopper candle
Add to the ambience of your room with this light-up candle. Silver sequins in the gel surrounding the candle glow and glisten for an iridescent finish. Simply light the candle as usual which will trigger the LED lights that wrap around the candle, creating a beautiful warm glow. Scented with notes of neroli, lime and basil, the candle infuses your home with a citrusy aroma.
Rose lovers, this is for you
Decadently fragranced with the aroma of blossoming rose, oceanic sea salt and intoxicating geranium to deliver a sensorial moment to savour.
A candle to lighten the mood
This delicious smelling candle is infused with immortelle, basil, cypress, eucalyptus and litsea cubeba for a zesty, fresh aroma that'll instantly lighten the mood. Light on an evening and you'll feel as though you've been whisked away to the French countryside, enjoying a glass of vino.
An easy gift
If you're stuck for ideas, you can't go wrong with The White Company. The Seychelles scent is loved by all for its warming and cocooning scent.
Love books?
This would make the ideal gift for a bookworm, right? The 'vintage bookshop' scent is loud and clear.
A natural scented candle
We love the delicious candles from OctoLondon, which are hand-poured using soy wax and scented with essential oils. Italian Garden is made with a therapeutic blend of rosemary, sweet orange and sage.
Fail-safe gift
A chinoiserie floral design makes this scented candle a decorative addition to your home. It releases a warming fragrance of vanilla orchid, sweet caramel and ylang-ylang.
That clean cotton scent...
This looks just as gorgeous as it smells!
Peace, man
The perfect gift for your fab female friend.
