Chic Candles For Fall

It's dark by 7 PM in the Hudson Valley, so I find myself reaching for a candle early these days. It sets the mood for a glass of wine and a little time to relax. 

Jo Malone Ginger & Biscuit Candle

Gingerbread anyone? Her candles are divine and come in the nicest glass containers.

Jo Malone

I am intrigued by this candle and others made by Quince.  Compared to most luxe candles, they are reasonably priced at $24.  Notes of lavender, clary sage, almond bitter, tonka and vanilla. A very chic combination of scents.

Narguile Scented Candle

Diptyque Paris is always at the top of  best candle lists. We could call this the candle of the month with its' autumn aroma. The scent is tobacco leaves, spices, and a hint of honey. Consider it a trip to the middle east.

Autumn Plum Scent
This luxury candle's wax is even dyed plum. The scent itself is luxurious with wild plum and cinnamon, and the warmth of patchouli leaf and  kashmir wood.

That's quite a name, and the fragrance notes sound likes this candle lives up to its' name. Think creme brulee, cognac, warm spices , and the forest. Sounds intriguing.

Dolce & Gabbana Casa Leopard

I must admit that I don't know if this scented candle is new or not. But the leopard look gets my vote for the most chic candle. The scent is both heraceous and warm with notes of lavender, thyme, patchouli, cloves, lily of the valley, vanilla and more.
