There’s nothing better for combating the early darkness this time of year than lighting a candle and filling your home with a comforting seasonal scent. The flickering, warm flame and soothing fragrance can instantly transform a space, whether for a holiday party or a cozy night indoors. In a way, it’s the next best thing to lighting a roaring fire, which, as Vogue.com Beauty Editor Mackenzie Wagoner laments, is illegal in New York City. Instead, she opts for Diptyque’s Feu de Bois, which is meant to smell like a fireplace, and loves Rodin’s Olio Lusso to brighten a room. Vogue Fashion News Director Mark Holgate brings a bit of winter wonder to his home by way of the company’s Oranger because, as he says with good humor, “it smells like a church altar—and inhaling the scented fumes is as close as I will get to any kind of religious experience during the holidays.” From a gingery mix of tea and tobacco spiked with a dash of mint (Cire Trudon’s Abd El Kader) to a woods- and fig-scented travel size tin that fits inside your carry-on (Cold Spring Apothecary’s Amber Fig), here are eight candles that our editors won’t brave the season without.
