Get ready for the new season with these fresh, fruity and floral candles that will make you feel like you’re in a sunny garden rather than wrapped up in a blanket on your sofa.
Spring is in the air, and while we’re used to cosying up with a moody candle during the winter months, there’s no need to eliminate home fragrances once the weather starts to warm up. It is a groundbreaking time for florals, after all.
Whether you’re after a fresh candle to accompany your Easter tablescape or looking to bring those spring bloom aromas inside for a change, now is the perfect time to upgrade your candle collection for the changing season.
From flirty florals to sweet gourmands that will have you craving another chocolate egg, these are the springtime candles to add to your coffee table to celebrate those lighter evenings.
8 of the best scented candles for spring
Malin + Goetz Tomato Candle
Inspired by homegrown ripe tomatoes straight from the garden, this fresh scent blends the star fruit/vegetable with basil, lavender, mint and earthy cedarwood.
If you’re attracted to clean, fresh fragrances, this will make your home smell like you’ve got a green thumb without having to do the work.
Diptyque Baies Scented Candle
This cult classic is beloved by celebrities for a reason. It features ripe blackcurrents and powdery rose, making it the perfect balance between fruity and floral, ideal for those spring evenings.
Byredo Fleur Fantôme Candle
Not your typical floral, this green scent smells like a freshly picked bouquet. Subtle tulip and violet floral notes are mixed with bitter lemon leaves and tangy rhubarb to give you a taste of the outdoors without having to leave your sofa.
Loewe Cucumber Scented Candle
Fresh, juicy and crisp, this has an aquatic twist to it, thanks to the inclusion of crunchy cucumber. Once lit, herby mint comes into the mix to give you a breath of fresh air with every sniff. If you don’t like overpowering or heady scents, this is the perfect antidote.
Maison Margiela Replica When The Rain Stops Candle
Combat April showers with this aptly named fragrance. Encapsulating the smell of fresh air after a downpour.
It blends pine, patchouli and spicy pink pepper to create an uplifting scent that feels like the sun parting dark clouds with every light.
