Nature Scented Candles 

When you picture the holidays, what comes to mind? Perhaps spending time with family, baking or relaxing. A staple for many is picking out a Christmas tree. The fresh smell of pine evokes all of the holiday feelings. Scented just like a fir tree, the Evergreen candle exemplifies the piney, fresh smell that one would expect.

With powerful aromas of cinnamon and hints of pine, ‘Tis The Season is a great choice for anyone who wants a classic holiday scent that can’t go wrong. 

With the cold winter season approaching, you’re probably thinking of pine trees, snowfall and getting cozy by the fire. What’s better to embody these feelings than a candle named Winter itself? Smelling of fresh pine with notes of clove and orange, Winter has that classic holiday scent with a slight citrus twist. Winter also includes light hints of firewood, creating that warm atmosphere everyone wants in a candle. 

Vanilla eggnog, fir balsam and juniper berries. One rich and sweet, the other fresh and piney, and the last tart and fruity. It’s hard to imagine these scents working well all in one, but surprisingly they come together to form Under The Christmas Tree. The melody of scents blend together perfectly to create a candle that suits its name perfectly. Under The Christmas Tree is a great pick for someone who wants the classic scent of a fir tree mixed with a slight sweetness and fruitiness. 

Fruity Scented Candles 

Many people may already know of the Winter Candy Apple candle that Bath and Body Works has to offer, but it’s not without reason why this candle made it on the list. With its fresh fruity scent, Winter Candy Apple is sure not to disappoint. Consisting of candied apples, crisp pears and oranges, this scent delivers a light fruit scent without overpowering your senses.

Highschool students can’t quite drink champagne yet, nevertheless the feeling of celebration and cheer can be evoked with the Champagne Toast candle. Smelling of the name, Champagne Toast embodies a distinctive aroma of sparkling berries with hints of sweet, citrus orange.
