Favorite Scents Of The Season

December 24, 2014

I love burning candles all year, but even more during the winter when it’s dark, cold, and mostly rainy or snowy outside (especially like it’s been the last several days). It’s definitely a time where I rely on candles for that inviting aroma and glow that beckons snuggling up with a book, a cup of tea and/or spiked eggnog. There’s nothing better than the flickering light of a great seasonal scented candle on a gloomy day to beat the Winter blues while keeping the home feeling warm and cozy. The hardest part for me though has always been to narrow down my favorites each season from my long list of the ones I really want. Ultimately, I always settle for candles that burn cleanly and evenly while at the same time creating the right ambiance, filling the house with a soft spicy fragrance without being too cloying. At last, I finally rounded out my selection of the top seasonal scents that will be on constant rotation this winter. How about you? What are your favorite candles to burn during this time of year?
