If your ideal holiday involves camping—glamorously—in Big Sur, California, or lounging in a luxury tree hotel in Lapland, Finland, you’re in luck. This summer’s most ingeniously designed candles transport you to the vacation destination of your dreams, even if you’re city bound.
With notes of pimento, hay, and blond cedarwood, Byredo’s Tree House candle conveys all the crisp green freshness and woody magic of the great outdoors. For those who prefer to spend lazy Saturdays sipping rosé on a white-washed porch, Jo Malone’s White Lilac & Rhubarb Charity candle recalls an idyllic country home surrounded by blooms.
Of course, the best summer candles conjure the mood of the season with more than just their olfactory charms: Jonathan Adler’s Muse Noir scent is housed in a multifaceted porcelain vessel that’s as fun to pick up as it is to sniff. Fornasetti’s quirky cup is adorned with a lively scenescape of Capri while Missoni’s cypress, balsam, and incense candle comes wrapped in a chevron print that’s reminiscent of the fashion house’s plush pool towels. Should a more literal take on escapism be in order, Maison Martin Margiela is here to help: The label’s new pale yellow candle, with its notes of bergamot, coconut milk, lemon, and ocean spray, is proof that it only takes one strike of the match to remember that life’s a beach.
