Candles We Love

Los Angeles

I am a self-proclaimed candle addict. I need to have one burning in my bedroom at all times (along with 4-5 others around for decor). Not only do they smell amazing, but they also make great decorative pieces. And it might be a crazy obsession, but at least it’s a good smelling one! 

If I’m going to spend money on a candle, I want it to smell unbelievably good and to spread fragrance around to every inch of the room. I also don’t want it to have a short burn time. After trying tons of different brands, I have compiled the ultimate list of my all-time favorite candles and scents for you. 

Neroli

Malin+Goetz

Neroli $55 “A refreshing + floral scent that combines all the aromatic elements of citrus.”

Otto $55 “ A scent that evokes a garden in bloom with a blend of rose + geranium.”

These candles smell amazing, plain and simple. The packaging is also super cute. I love the logo and think it’s definitely one of my favorite-looking candles. They also come in a smaller size for $20 if you want to try it out before making the commitment. 

Homesick

Los Angeles $34 “Bright mornings and star-kissed nights. Clean sea breezes and desert sand. Citrus notes perfectly paired with blossoming bouquets.”

While I don’t think this thing smells like Los Angeles, it smells divine. This is definitely a good bang for your buck candle, too. It’s big but not very expensive.

Bellevue 

Grapefruit & Vanilla $37.45 “Bellevue luxury candles are crafted using artisan, curated fragrances with blends of pure essential oils.”

This candle is massive and smells so good. My roommate got it from Costco, but it’s also sold on Amazon. It’s on our coffee table in the living room and reaches every inch of the apartment. It’s super affordable, too. 10/10 would recommend. 

Apricot Tea

NEST

Apricot Tea $68 “NEST Fragrances Apricot Tea 3-Wick Candle includes English apricot wrapped in the richness of black tea leaves and combined with bergamot and golden amber.”

This is my favorite smelling candle ever. Period. I got it for my roommate and ended up getting two for myself because I fell in love with the smell. It has the most refreshing, warm, and inviting scent. This candle comes in two smaller sizes as well.
