Choosing a luxury Christmas candle is as personal as selecting a winter coat - it's all about warmth, atmosphere and an unmistakable sense of style. From Nordic pines to rich spices and contemporary festive blends, the season’s finest candles are crafted to elevate both mood and mantlepiece.
When it comes to fragrance strength, the type of wax matters. Paraffin offers the boldest scent throw - meaning the fragrance travels further and fills a room more quickly. Soy wax is a cleaner, more sustainable option but typically gives a softer scent. Natural wax blends, such as coconut, rapeseed or beeswax mixes, strike a balance by delivering a strong, high-quality aroma with an eco-minded profile.
