Why we love wintertime

There are so many things to love about winter; wrapping up with a cosy hat, scarf and gloves, sipping on warm seasonal favourites – like mulled wine, hot chocolate or just a comforting tea, and the crisp, beautiful landscapes topped in glistening frosts. While the weather and setting isn’t perfect at all times – we all hate those grey, damp days! – it’s easy to recreate the magic of winter in your home. With scented candles, you can enjoy all the best bits of winter while snuggling up in the warm.

The scents of the season

There are hundreds of scents and smells that are synonymous with wintertime, many of which evoke fond memories of childhood magic or romance. At Melt, we were able to come up with a few that brought back heartwarming memories of the season:

• Pine – Going to pick out a Christmas tree was always one of the highlights of wintertime.

• Cinnamon – Baking spiced winter biscuits still is one of our favourite seasonal activities.

• Mulled wine – A seasonal celebration isn’t complete without a glass or two of this winter classic.

• Orange – In our youth, we used to find an orange or two in our Christmas stocking. Now we’re reaching out for oranges not only for their fabulous taste, but also for their high vitamin C levels.

• Chestnuts – Nothing says Christmas market like warm roasted chestnuts!

• Vanilla – There’s something about vanilla that reminds us about all the good times in life. From birthday cakes, right through to Christmas baking. It’s also a lovely, welcoming scent for the home.
