Every Candle I’ve Ever Recommended!
Each newsletter I share a few favorites at the end, the most loved being “What I’m Burning.” Here’s a roundup of all of them!
California Christmas from The New Savant makes me nostalgic for my own home, if that’s possible. The ozone and citrus scents mingle to make something delicious.
I'm loving Olive Tree and Thyme by Paddywax (since renamed, but I promise it's the same). It's herbaceous and yummy while I spend some time in the kitchen!
Myrtle Mint from P.F. Candle Co. This scent is meant to promote focus, and boy do I need it right now. Beyond that, it's so relaxing and making my workday far more chill.
Sapphics in the City from The New Savant is bringing me all of the fun summertime feels as we go into one of my favorite seasons.
The limited edition scent, Your Apartment, which was created by P.F. Candle Co in collaboration with the band Wallows. Not only do I find it so interesting that they’ve linked a smell to a song, but it’s a great one at that!
I mentioned I was trying out new scents from The New Savant, and I’ve found a few new favorites, but right now Heatwave is taking me to the summer weather I wish we were having in LA!
I gave myself the gift of trying a new candle brand (crazy, I know) and ordered the starter pack from The New Savant. So far, I’m really enjoying it and think it’s so great to allow new customers to try out a variety of scents.
The Souks of Marrakech Candle from Rifle Paper Co. has been transporting me lately as I wish for less rain and warmer days. Even though California is better than most, this candle uplifts me on the days when it isn’t.
Vetiver and Cedarwood from Target is adding to my ambiance right now as LA continues to experience some intensely rainy days!
Windows Down from Henry Rose, who sadly discontinued their candles, but you can get the same fragrance as a perfume! It’s a lovely spring smell for days when you wish the rain would go away.
I’m trying to channel my energy into focusing on one project at a time, and the P.F. Candle Co. Bergamot Shiso candle is supposed to help me do that! All I know is that it smells clean and lovely!
Last Light from Henry Rose is giving me the warm and woody vibes I’ve been looking for in these cooler (sometimes) days. Plus their full-size candles are currently half off!
P.F. Candle Co. x L.A. Times Plants Jeffrey Pine: it’s lovely to support an institution, and this scent makes it easy for me to pretend I’m somewhere with lots of trees instead of in the middle of a city.
I’ll admit it, I’m one of those people who puts up their holiday decorations before Thanksgiving. I embraced this tradition in 2020 as a way to welcome the joy of the holidays earlier in a time that felt bleak, and I’ve been doing it ever since. And while I do, I live my best basic life and burn this lovely holiday candle from Anthropologie. I know, I hate myself in this moment, too, but I’m no longer delaying joy.
Oranger by Diptyque. A classic warm fall scent that is putting me in the mood for all things cozy.
Woods from Everspring. That’s right, the Target brand. I love fancy candles as much as the next girl, but sometimes something nice and organic from Target is lovely too. Can you tell I wish it was fall?
Persimmon Cider from (are you shocked?) P.F. Candle Co. It may not feel like fall yet, but it doesn’t mean I can’t pretend!
Moonrise from P.F. Candle Co. It’s warm and cozy when you wish it was just a touch cooler outside (but really, just a touch). Plus, it’s on sale right now!
Musk from Jenni Kayne at my parent’s place, where I’ve been working while family is in town visiting. It’s spicy, smoky, and just plain delicious!
Wild Herb Tonic by P.F. Candle Co. This is so good that I am hoarding it so I don’t burn down the candle too quickly. But when I do burn it, it reminds me of the rosemary bush in the backyard of my childhood home. Core Memory Unlocked.
I bring you another recommendation from Flamingo Estate! When the company stops making good products, I will stop recommending them, but until then, here we are. I recently got a massage (see below) and the Adriatic Muscatel Sage candle took me right back there this week. After six hours on the plane getting home, this was a huge relief.
Roma Heirloom Tomato by Flamingo Estate. If you’re cringing at the thought of a tomato candle right now, I used to be in your shoes! But, it’s so lightly scented that it brings that sweet greenness through your home and reminds you of sunnier days.
Copal by P.F. Candle Co. If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a big P.F. fan (maybe a future newsletter will explain why!) and I'm addicted to this scent which they just brought out of their vault. It's all things cardamom and spice but not in a food way. Grab it before they lock it away again!
Baies from Diptyque. It was a lovely gift and immediately makes me feel like it's spring in my apartment. Plus, Diptyque's candles are such a luxury that I immediately feel like I'm treating myself when I light it.
Queens & Monsters by Henry Rose. It's sweet and warming, plus it fills my whole apartment despite being only a single wick candle.
If you know me, you know I love candles. This week my favorite scent has been P.F. Candle Co's Pinon- it's warm and cozy to get me through the rainy days L.A. has been experiencing lately.
