It’s no secret that scented candle sales have soared these past couple of years as more people turn to home fragrances to find comfort with more time spent indoors. After all, scents are a powerful thing and with the right choices, you can easily transform any space, take an olfactory journey, and add a touch of indulgence to everyday life.

And because it doesn’t hurt to treat yourself, here are five luxury candles big and small, which smell good and look good as well. Plus, they are all available under one roof at Takashimaya Shopping Centre, perfect for those who like to get all their shopping done in one place.

01 – Besides its aromatic body and hand care creations that have been known to lend pleasure to daily rituals, Aesop (B1-54/55) has a trio of fragrant candles that do just that too. If you’re a fan of woody, earthy scents, be sure to check out its Ptolemy Aromatique Candle (SGD155 for 300 g) with notes of cedar, cypress, and vetiver for an aroma reminiscent of a lush forest for a sense of much-needed solace after the challenging year all have experienced.

02 – The Cotton Poplin Candle (SGD127 for 240 g) from Byredo (B1-34) is the perfect choice for those who love crisp and clean scents that are not obnoxious. Its comforting blend of blue chamomile, lemon, white cedar wood and white musk evoke the comfort of freshly washed linen, making this the ideal companion to spend a lazy day indoors with.

03 – Diptyque (B1-33A) enthusiasts are no stranger to the Parisian parfumerie’s captivating scented creations, in particular its beloved Feu De Bois Candle that’s now available in a limited-edition 600 g size (SGD273). Presented in grey enamelled porcelain for the holidays, the iconic cocktail of smoky birch and juniper will bring a crackling fire on a winter night to any space.

04 – If there’s a quintessentially Jo Malone London (B1-43) home candle, their English Pear & Freesia (SGD110 for 200 g) would be it. The luscious candle captures the essence of autumn with notes of just-ripe pears wrapped in a bouquet of white freesias, balanced with amber, patchouli and woods to add an air of luxury to any room and an ideal choice for a seasonal escape.

05 – Back in 2006, Le Labo (B1-31) started with 10 fragrances and one sandalwood-scented candle, Santal 26, which has since amassed a cult following. Known for its alluring smoky and leathery blend that will fill your space with personality, you can now indulge in your obsession with its Santal 26 candles that come in different sizes, including a giant Concrete Candle (SGD685) that’s filled with 1.2 kg of the good stuff.
