Boy Smells, $29

SHOP IT

This modern candle with 55 hours of burn time is made from a rich blend of coconut wax and beeswax, and infused with dry hay and coal, as well as a dash of juniper berry.

Anthropologie, $28

SHOP IT

There's a reason why this is Anthropologie's top-selling candle: Its blue exterior is at home in nearly any room and the perfection of its beachy scent—tropical fruits, sugared oranges, lemons, limes, and mountain greens—can't be denied.

Byredo, $35

SHOP IT

This mini candle has three layers: peach and plum at the top, violet and peony in the middle, and patchouli, leather, and vanilla at the bottom. The ultimate three-for-one.

Jo Malone London, $65

SHOP IT

For all of the Jo Malone perfume lovers out there, your room can now smell like your favorite scent with this chic candle that lasts 45 hours.

Nest, $40

SHOP IT

Imagine lighting up a magical winter forest (minus the arson). That's what you get with this birchwood classic pine candle—a favorite of MarieClaire.com's digital director, who believes in a great candle year-round. (Who doesn't?!)

Voluspa, $28

SHOP IT

File this candle under: thing I would obsessively spend my Anthropologie discount on when I worked there. Voluspa's gorgeous Mokara scent is a coconuty blend of goodness that will leave any room feeling fresh and clean.

Boulangerie, $18

SHOP IT

Get your morning coffee fix with this espresso-scented candle by Boulangerie. (Boulangerie means bakery, for the non-French majors out there.) The Minnesota-based company makes their candles with all-natural, food-grade ingredients like coconut wax and essential oils, though we still advise against eating it.

Nest, $40

SHOP IT

Can't decide between this and the other Nest candle we mentioned above? Consider this one more "springtime appropriate," giving off a blend of flowering bamboo mixed with white florals, sparkling citrus, and fresh green accords. Approximate burn time: 60 hours.

Bath & Body Works, $25

SHOP IT

If you couldn't tell from the wrapping, this scent is mango dragonfruit and it will have you dreaming of summer. It's a very coveted candle of loyal Bath & Body Works shoppers who routinely find this scent out-of-stock.

Grenville Society, $32

SHOP IT

Light up a hint of vetiver and sandalwood when you get home from work for some R&R; or a romantic date-night with your S.O.

Jonathan Adler, $78

SHOP IT

Forget a fancy piece of art—this porcelain candle can double as a table centerpiece or a nice addition to your not-at-all-in-any-way-cluttered dresser. Its floral scent is ideal for burning year-round. Also noteworthy: If you don't want the wax to run out quickly, you can buy this candle warmer to release the scent without lighting the wick.

Elizabeth & James, $40

SHOP IT

Elizabeth and James' signature Nirvana scent is now available in a matte black frame—a sleek upgrade to your home decor. It's infused with violet, sandalwood, and vanilla accents. Sexy and dark.

Lunya, $38

Diptyque, $65

SHOP IT

Yes, this is the candle your friend has been obsessing over for years (and for good reason). If you already own Baies, try Figuier or Verveine, which smell equally as amazing as Baies' rosy presence.

Lumira, $65

This seductive scent is an ode to the Middle East, featuring a mix of mandarin, budding Persian rose, geranium, soft musk, and dark amber.

Tom Ford, $98

If you don't get it for yourself, buy it for a deserving male in your life. (If he exists.)
