The 10 Coziest Winter Candles

This is a Christmas tree in a jar. And I'm not talking one of those rinky-dink, runty trees you find last minute in a parking lot on Christmas Eve. I'm talking covered in lights, Rockefeller Center-style, "sexiest tree you've ever seen" kind of smell. Need I say more?

If you believe spring is for petal-driven florals, the colder months are meant for elegant, comforting herbal scents. This one by D.S. & Durga captures the smell of one outer borough with lavender, vetiver grass, and asphalt.

I refer to this as the Slutty Candle. Don't ask me to explain this, but I mean it in the best way possible. Its trio of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla notes is delicious and sunny, but somehow even more perfect for brightening up gloomy winter days when you really just want to feel hot again.

As a reformed Catholic school girl, the name alone is enough to inspire worship, but its warm floral notes deserve the most adoration. Rose and orris give the wax an elegant tilt, while cardamon and cinnamon leaf add a welcome spicy twist. Fleabag would approve.

Thirteen botanicals—including bergamot, mandarin, and tiare—make up the scent in this serenity-inducing option. Light it up, set your intention, and let the universe do its thing.

I mean, come on. If the name doesn't sell it enough, its almond oil, leather, and orris throw will make your space smell like a five-star hotel that overlooks a mountain range.

You've probably heard about the uber-popular unisex fragrance of the same name, but if you want a taste before you invest, fill your space with this woody, sandalwood candle iteration.

Consider this scent the less basic sister to pumpkin spice: creamy, comforting, damn good in a latte.

Cold weather candles don't have to be creamy. For a sophisticated and subtle fragrance in your living space, try this vegetal, tomato-forward alternative.

Alright, who can resist the cultural touchstone that is pumpkin spice? I, for one, can't. This one is a refined version that still smells grown-up.

You know those addictive, welcoming scents that seem to be pumped through the vents at your favorite hotels? Consider this evergreen and pine creation—inspired by cozy homes away from home like the St. Regis Aspen and The Lowell in New York City— their yuletide equivalent.
