Over the years, candles have evolved from being just a staple centrepiece to treasured artisanal objects that can enhance and change your mood, from calming chamomile and lavender to relax, warm amber to set the mood, or citrusy scents to uplift your spirits. So it's no surprise that the search for candles has been rising since the start of lockdown in March 2020, according to beauty wholesale marketplace Curate Beauty. Partnering with machine intelligence platform Spate, they discovered that the search for candles reached 1.5 million in July with predictions to grow to two million in September (compared to only 1.3 million searches last September). A result of people spending more time at home? We think so! Whether you want to elevate your WFH space or dress up your place this autumn, read on to find some of the latest and greatest scented candle finds.
