3. Gilded Pink Onyx Marble Candle, $68

While Gilded is known largely for their luxe skincare offerings, their signature marble candle vessels are an artful addition to any home. You can mix and match a variety inserts, containers, and scents, but I fancy the light sweetness of pink onyx with orange blossom.

4. L’or de Seraphine Premium Scented Candle, $30

In Greek mythology, Persephone maintains dual roles as goddess of spring and Queen of the Underworld. Such an energy, to be honest. If you want to channel ‘the maiden’ herself, grab this pretty candle by L’or de Seraphine, which holds jasmine and pepper in equal regard.

5. LOHN Oro Candle, $18

Speaking of jasmine, you’ll find it among top notes of rose and mandarin in this mixture by LOHN. While many of the floral scented candles here scream “spring,” this one feels more like that cusp before summer, where the nights are heady with blooms on a warm wind. Credit clove and musk for turning on that sensuous feeling of heat.

6. Diptyque Freesia Candle, $68

Freesia has a sugary sweetness to it, but trust legacy brand Diptyque to keep it from being too saccharine. Once again, pepper steps in to make this scent elevated, adult, and nighttime appropriate.

6. Boy Smells Lanai Candle, $32

This is another scent that feels a little more tropic, largely because you have a volcanic undercurrent with clove and coal. Orange blossom, however, lifts up the scent, providing some much needed gentleness to this earthy blend.

8. Fornasetti Flora Scented Candle, $215

There are designer candles, and then there’s Fornasetti. Candle connoisseurs will weep at the museum-worthy jars, literally drawn from the mind (and hand) of the late surrealist artist Piero Fornasetti. Ivy, lily of the valley, and white rose team up in this floral explosion—the scent travels with Fornasetti, so you’ll feel like you’ve filled a queen’s bizarre with hundreds of fresh blooms.
