10 Best Places To Get Candles For A Cosy & Relaxing Home

by Seah Pei Jun  /   June 3, 2019

scented candlesScented candles have grown in popularity over the years especially with fragrance brands creating their unique home scents. Brands like Diptyque, which has only recently arrived at our shores in the early last year, has also generated more buzz for scented candles. With the right scent, candles can help to set the vibe of the room. A lavender scented candle is great to unwind in the evenings after work with a glass of wine with your loved one on the couch or at the balcony. It can also be a great accent piece on a coffee table or side table in the living room to create a cosy environment.

Aromatherapy candles have also gained traction in recent years with certain scents helping to create a sense of well-being in the lives of hectic urban-dwellers. Read on to find out the best places to get your hands on a candle (or two) to create a welcoming home.

10 Best Places To Get Candles For A Cosy & Relaxing Home
1. Jo Malone London
custom

This British brand is one of the most popular names among fragrance lovers, be it in the form of colognes or candles. The range of candles are simple but create a lasting impression once you light them and inhale the scent. If you’re unsure of what to choose go for their signature fragrance, Lime Basil & Mandarin.

Other options include the delicious-sounding Sweet Almond & Macaroon, the berry good Blackberry & Bay, or the oh-so-sensual Pomegranate Noir. Also a scent from the Luxury Candles selection, such as Wild Fig & Cassis or Peony & Blush Suede, will give you up to 220 hours of burn time. And if you can’t live without your calming candles, take something from the Travel Candles selection which features smaller candles with an 18-hour burn time.

Available at various locations such as Tangs Orchard and Raffles City, check website for details. Visit www.jomalone.com.sg

2. Diptyque
custom

This French brand is one of the most established names in the market, boasting some of the most gorgeous scented candles you can find. The range is massive, with Classic Scented Candles, Small Scented Candles, Coloured Scented Candles, and Indoor-Outdoor Scented Candles. Bestselling scents include Baies (Berries), Feu De Bois (Wood Fire), and Figuier (Fig Tree). If you love their scents, there are diffusers and room sprays to try as well.

At Takashimaya Shopping Centre, 391 Orchard Road, #B1-33a Ngee Ann City, Singapore 238872, tel: 6732 0538. Visit www.diptyqueparis.com/en_us/

3. Ashley & Co
custom

Don’t judge these candles by their simple hand-blown jars as the scents are something special. Ashley & Co is a brand from New Zealand that calls its candles ‘waxed perfume’ and we admit we love this moniker. All candles are individually hand-poured using 100 per cent natural biodegradable wax and an unbleached cotton wick.

There are only six scents to choose from at the moment but each of them has a name influenced by a story. For example, Parakeets & Pearls is an old-world scent that brings back the glamour of handwritten love letters and dressing for dinner. The candles have a burn time of up to 50 hours and the same scents are available as diffusers too.

Available at various locations such as Gallery & Co, Kapok Flagship Store and Red Dot Museum, check website for details. Visit https://ashleyandco.co/

4. Penhaligon’s
custom

William Penhaligon launched this brand in London in 1870 and his work was so iconic that his recipe books are still consulted by the staff today. Both the packaging and the scents are elegant and all candles are hand-blended from naturally derived soy wax, and packed with essential oils.

With names such as Linen Cupboard and The Powder Room (from the Portraits collection) and Lily of the Valley and Samarkand (Classic collection), your room will be filled with some sublime aromas indeed. Being an English brand, the scent of tea plays a big part too, with a tea collection featuring luxury candles in three scents – Earl Grey, Assam and Neroli (Lady Grey). You could also get a Tea Collection Candle Box, with miniature candles of the three scents.

At #03-16 ION Orchard, 2 Orchard Turn, Singapore 238801, tel: 6634 1040 & 01-33/34, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956, tel: 6688 7520. Visit www.penhaligons.com

5. Lola’s Apothecary
custom

Every product is handmade on a farm in the English countryside of Devon and this British brand strives to support local and ethical suppliers. The 100 per cent natural candles are made with an innovative blend of plant waxes and the glass candle jars are gorgeous so remember to recycle them.

There are not many to choose from but this small outfit certainly knows how to let its goods do the talking. Delicate Romance is the brand’s signature fragrance and is a feminine scent that’s a symphony of roses laced with warm spices and citrus, while Sweet Lullaby feels like a ‘hug in a bottle’, a comforting scent with a blend of lavender and ylang ylang at its heart. Psst, they ship internationally!

8. Candles of Light
custom

The botanical scents offered by this brand are harnessed from sources such as spices, herbs, essential oils and natural aromatic materials from the tropics and beyond. And the pure soy and beeswax candles are handcrafted in small batches from the brand’s atelier in Singapore. They also do not contain any dyes, parabens, paraffin or phthalates. The scent range is inspired by the different times of day – daylight, dawn, dayspring, dusk, and midnight – with a fragrance to suit each part of the day, whether you’re looking for a morning boost or something to help you wind down.

The candles or tealights in the terrazzo jars are especially suitable for gifting as they come in such pretty holders. Room and linen sprays are available too. The brand also hosts natural perfumery workshops every quarter, where participants learn the basic principles of perfumery and have the opportunity to create their own room scent.
