Tis the season.
Well, almost.
If you’re anything like us, you’ve been feverishly (and patiently) waiting for all of the limited edition, holiday things.
Usually sitting high up on that holiday beauty merch list are Christmas-scented candles (as they rightfully should be).
Scented candles have a magical way of transforming your home into a holiday wonderland; bringing in the Christmas cheer early (something we all desperately need right now) and perfectly setting the stage for upcoming joyous moments spent with family and friends.
After all, Christmas isn’t Christmas and holiday season isn't holiday season without the enchanting scents of gingerbread, caramel, cinnamon, oak or plum creating the right seasonal ambience in your home.
We know our savvy Adore Beauty shoppers are eager to get their hands on these not only beautifully-designed but also heavenly smelling candles as soon as they launch.
To which I say to my savvy shopper friends - this is a very smart decision.
I can tell you’re the astute friend in the group chat that knows holiday merch sells out FAST.
You want to be *that* friend that when people come over they say “Oh you got the Glasshouse Night Before Christmas candle??! AND an advent calendar? You're so lucky I wanted to get those but they sold out so quick!”
To which you reply, “Well Susie, you should have hopped on the Adore Beauty Christmas merch in October. Duh!”
Not sure where to start? I asked Adore Beauty’s Junior Category Manager (and part-time Christmas elf - you should see all the cool merch on her desk) Liz, to share some of her top festive season candle picks.
A quick warning: we wouldn't leave these Christmas candles sitting in your cart too long, they’ll be selling out faster than you can say “Christmas is only 10 Sundays away."
Best Christmas Candles Australia.
Kicking off this best Christmas candles roundup is none other than Glasshouse Fragrances and Circa Fragrances both of who nail the holiday candle brief every year.
Crafting a range of stunning candles with a nod to your favourite holiday-themed smells both the Glasshouse Christmas candles and the Circa limited edition candles did not disappoint with their holiday offerings.
This year, the gorgeous imagery enveloping the Glasshouse Christmas candles come from the talented hands of Melbourne illustrator Michelle Pereira.
Says Liz, “I love that the Glasshouse ones are metallic this year and are meant to look like a little Christmas village, with windows in the vessels so that as the candle burns down it looks like the light is coming from within the apartments.”
And for those looking to indulge in something even more decadent, we have a couple of luxe Christmas candles at the end of the article for your bougie aunty, housemate or friend.
