From Royal Pine to Vanilla Smoke, These 13 Holiday Candles Are Incredibly Chic

I accumulate candles like they’re stamps, baseball cards, or any other traditionally collectible item. I love how they make my home smell warm and inviting (much to the enjoyment of my guests). Between the softly flickering flame and a drifting, lingering scent, they create an ambiance like nothing else. That’s especially true during the holiday season when fresh pine, smoke, and citrus scents fill the air.

Don’t think I’ll buy just any holiday candle though. I’m a discerning beauty editor, and I require a candle to meet three requirements before I make it my own. First, it must be long-lasting. Second, the scent must be intoxicating. Third, the vessel must be chic (candles double as home decor). And after spending an undisclosed amount of time searching the internet, I think I’ve finally found the best holiday candles to buy this year. Keep scrolling to see the 13 that made my list.
