There's nothing more enticing than a room full of beautifully scented candles— especially on a cold winter's night. Add a cashmere throw, a good book and a glass of Pomerol and you've got (my version of) the ultimate urban retreat...

My go-to scents of the season:

D.L. & Co. Modern Alchemy Opium Den
A smoky, bittersweet blend of tobacco, firewood, and resins.

Fresh Cannabis Santal
Top notes of bergamot, Brazilian orange and black plum; middle notes cannabis accord, patchouli and rose; base notes of vetiver and vanilla musks.

Santa Maria Novella Winter
A luxurious pillar candle that combines the scent of cypress trees with plush greens and earthy spices.

Le Cherche Midi CT|01
Notes of crushed sage, cedar leaf, and aged vetiver make this Costello Tagliapietra-inspired creation irresistible.

Jo Malone Pine & Eucalyptus
A limited-edition scent; The crisp aroma of sweet pine woven with velvety eucalyptus.

Malin + Goetz Vetiver
Top notes of effervescent Bergamot; middle notes of spicy Clove; base notes of Cedarwood and Vetiver.

Le Labo Figue 15
A delicious blend of blackcurrant and fig; Sweet but not overwhelmingly so.

A.P.C Bougie No. 3 Toumbac
A rich, tobacco-based scent with an earthy finish.

Votivo Red Currant
A blend of tart red currant, vanilla bean and raspberry. As this scent can be quite powerful, I recommend lighting no more than one or two of these candles at a time (balancing the sweetness of the fragrance with unscented pillars).
