Cinnamon and Clove

Evoking the pleasure of steaming glühwein at a German Christmas market, clove and cinnamon provide the ultimate festive fragrance – its sweet, warm aroma serves to transform your home as the nights draw in.

Oakmoss and Cedarwood

Bring the outside in with oakmoss and cedarwood, fragrances renowned for their distinctive woody, forest-like aroma. A lichen, oakmoss grows on the bark of pine, oak, and beech trees, and is a popular natural extract amongst perfumers. Together, cedarwood and oakmoss deliver a sensual and woodsy fragrance, suggestive of long walks spent kicking through heaps of autumn leaves. Get the scent: Winter Wonder By The Fire

Amber and Patchouli

Patchouli bucks the trend in floral scents, delivering a rich, earthy aroma that’s far-removed from the summer notes of other floral fragrances. Paired with amber, a fantasy of sweet labdanum and vanilla-like benzoin, and the result is warming and spicy, evoking the red, orange, and brown hues of autumn – the perfect antidote to a grey October day.

Orange, Black Pepper, and Clove

There’s something festive about the sweet and zesty aroma of orange. Add a little spice to the blend, like black pepper and clove, and you have something truly special – and 100% autumnal. Infuse your home with this spicy and fiery bouquet, and you’ll feel invigorated on even the dreariest of days, the orange twist working to lift your spirits while the clove and black pepper bring a warmth and cosiness to your home.

Frankincense

Frankincense is an ancient natural resin whose oil extract produces a fresh yet balsamic aroma, suggestive of smoky bazaars in exotic, far-flung lands. It’s this powerful, luminous fragrance which makes frankincense the perfect choice for autumn - its bright, rich, and lingering aroma infusing your rooms with light, warmth, and colour. It’s also a natural stress-reliever – perfect for relaxing after helping the little ones with their homework. Get the scent: Winter Wonders Frankincense Candle

Apple

Picture a fragrant fruit orchard, trees swaying in the early-autumn sun, their branches sagging with a harvest of apples, cherries, plums, and berries. The scent of apple, in all its forms, epitomises the transition from summer to autumn. It’s a sweet, familiar smell evoking the pleasure of coming home after a long day of work or school – perfect for this special time of year. Get the scent: Large Apple Candle
