When December 1 hits, I want my Christmas tree up, bedazzled and lighting up the corner of the living room that stays baron during the other eleven months of the year.
What I don’t want is the stress and hassle of actually sourcing the tree, decorating it and picking up pesky dropped needles every evening before bed (seriously, they get everywhere!). Which is why I swapped to a fake tree. Superior in every way apart from the smell. No, my plastic fir does not radiate the scent of a freshly cut spruce lovingly felled from the woodland’s of Norway. Luckily, there’s a solution in the form of Christmas-tree scented candles.
Although pine scents I typically associate with toilet cleaner, the best pine-scented candles could not be further from a bottle of Harpic. They embody the scent of a real spruce just as brilliantly as the real thing. With some of these candles featuring complementary notes of resin, musk and myrrh, and others featuring fresher notes of eucalyptus and cedarwood, there really is something for everyone.
Whether you’re setting the mood for a cosy night in or hosting a festive party, these are the ten best pine-scented candles that will make your home smell like Christmas in no time. One of Diptyque’s top selling candles during the festive season, the Sapin Classic Candle smells exactly like fresh pine needles mixed with hearty resin. The beautiful glass jar makes a decadent centrepiece for a festive tablescape too.
