Here are 7 scented candles for relaxing at home

Myrrh and Tonka candle by Jo Malone

If relaxation had a smell, it would probably be Jo Malone’s Myrrh & Tonka scented candle. The British perfume and cosmetics house, founded in 1994 (and which has belonged to the Estée Lauder group since 1999), created this candle made from the sap hand-harvested from the Namibian myrrh tree, enriched by the warm notes of almond and vanilla from the tonka bean.

Choose Keeping Candle by perfumer H

Perfumer H was born from the desire of Lyn Harris, a British perfumer trained in Grasse, to create a perfume house in her image, which she did in 2015. This nose stands out for its profound desire to put the natural ingredient of creative process, hence the fragrances that generally bear the name of an evocative raw material such as Bergamot, Ink, Leather or even Smoke. She also brings together glassblowers, cabinetmakers, designers and architects around her poetic olfactory universe to give life to exceptional bottles, designer boutiques or even refillable candles. Before diving into a hand-blown candle (at a rather expensive price, it must be admitted), you can turn to the utilitarian ones, at a more affordable price. Come Choose Keeping (which actually corresponds to the fragrance Paper), which evokes the tranquility of a desk, with its notes of turpentine oil and papyrus wood, herbs and spices on a background of dark cedar and cade wood brushed with oil of pink. To keep on your desk to promote serenity, concentration and perhaps say goodbye to blank page syndrome.

It is composed of vegetable wax (from rapeseed grown in Europe), a cotton wick and a perfume based on essential oils, enclosed in a particularly practical resealable glass jar.

Not a candle of Juliette has a gun

This is not a candle. Or maybe yes. Use Not A Perfume perfume from the house Juliette Has A Gun (founded by Romano Ricci, Nina’s great-grandson). This is characterized by its unique ingredient, Cetalox, a hypoallergenic synthetic molecule. And if you don’t know what it smells like, that’s normal, as this compound is generally used in perfumery to give an amber base to fragrances, since we no longer use sperm whale intestine extracts. Here the cetalox blooms solitary, discreet, among the moss and wood. A perfect perfume for those who want to perfume their interiors with purity, discretion and cleanliness, without ever fearing the opposite, and for enthusiasts of Magritte and his Betrayal of Images.

All poured into a Limoges porcelain vase, produced in France, for an elegant result that can be proudly displayed on your coffee table, and which can obviously be reused once the candle has run out.
