Aesop Aromatique Candles
Global skincare brand Aesop recently ventured into the realm of luxury candles, and they’re doing it right if the positive reviews are anything to go by. The brand currently houses a humble three-candle line-up, but their scents are definitely worthy to be proud of. Each Aesop Atomatique candle is named after astronomers from ancient mythology.
The line-up includes Ptolemy, an earthy fragrance that’ll whisk you away to a lush Japanese forest; Calippus, a woody scent comprising of frankincense, vetiver and shiso; and Aganice, which contains the spicy, fresh notes of cardamom and mimosa. The candles also come with an inlaid quote embossed on the interiors of the ceramic jars, which adds on to the aesthetic factor.

Le Labo’s Santal 26

With ingredients such as sandalwood, amber and cocoa, this aristocratic scent will fill your house with warm smoky notes. Each soy wax candle is hand-poured and uses pure cotton wicks. The artisanal factor is also heightened with its heavy glass vessel that houses the candle, making it the perfect home ornament atop your coffee tables.
