cosy winter candles

There’s nothing quite like a cosy night in at this time of year – the fire crackling, candles casting a soft glow, and Christmas music filling the air. It’s the perfect way to embrace the season, whether you’re wrapping presents early, enjoying a hot drink, or simply relaxing by the twinkling lights of the tree. And what better way to complete the atmosphere than with a luxury-scented candle?

The warm, flickering glow and soothing fragrance of a candle can transform any room into a haven of comfort, adding an extra touch of magic to your festive evenings. If you’re looking to upgrade your cosy nights, that’s where we come in at Melt. We’ve handpicked our top three candles to help you unwind and enjoy a relaxing and comforting winter evening.

The cosy smell of Christmas

We absolutely love Christmas here at Melt, and our Christmas Scented Candle captures all the best bits – the sparkle of the tree, the crackle of the fire, and the laughter of family and friends. With beautifully warm notes of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, orange, vanilla, and festive spices, it’s the definitive scent of the season. Whether you’re decorating the tree, baking festive treats, or simply relaxing with family and friends, this candle wraps you in the nostalgic comfort of everything Christmassy. Perfect for bringing the warmth and joy of the season into your home, it’s a must-have for those magical winter evenings!

The slow, sophisticated scent of Burgundy

If you prefer a more subtle, refined take on winter scents, our Burgundy Scented Candle is the perfect choice. Offering a softer, more hushed atmosphere than traditional Christmas fragrances, it’s ideal if you’re someone who enjoys a quiet, cosy night in. With notes of ylang, carnation, rose, jasmine, almond, and hints of prune, apricot, and aniseed, this candle fills your home with a warm, comforting fragrance that’s still refined and sophisticated. It’s perfect for creating a tranquil space by the fire, especially when paired with a glass of wine and a good book! Burgundy has everything you need for a festive evening, too – elegant and cosy, it’s an ideal companion for a peaceful night watching Christmas films with your loved ones or a quiet night alone with your favourite read.

What’s Christmas without an Angel?

Now, we don’t like to pick favourites… but you sure do! So, how could we have this list without featuring our Angel Scented Candle? With her rich, round, and slightly chocolatey fragrance, she’s the ultimate candle for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere when the nights get colder. Though she’s well-loved all year round, there’s something particularly special about lighting it on those crisp winter evenings when you’re curling up on the sofa with a hot chocolate and comfortable blanket!

The beautiful blend of dewberry, cassis, jasmine, rose, vanilla, patchouli, amber, and a hint of chocolate fills the room with a luxurious, comforting scent that wraps you in warmth. It’s no wonder it’s been our best-selling fragrance since 2002! And if you’re struggling for gift ideas this year, why not grab an extra one? Beautifully presented in a stunning gift box, she is the perfect gift. Or keep it for yourself; we won’t tell!

If this sounds like a bit of you, then you’re in the right place. Here at Melt, we love this time of year, and we love stepping outside the box when it comes to scent, bringing you something truly special. So, whether you’re after a festive fragrance for the season or something to enjoy all year round, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect match. However, if you’d like to try before you buy, why not pop into our Shop on the Farm and experience our scents in person? The farm looks incredibly gorgeous this time of year, plus we’d love to see you!
