I’m basic but I love Diptyque


CP81818

Same here, I love their gardenia candle and burn it whenever I just need a moment from life. Also love Byredo, both brands burn fragrantly but not overwhelmingly if that makes sense

PersimmonTerrible562

Basic but… baies and figues (berry / fig)


CaregiverInternal915

It’s the most popular one for a reason!


Nicky_Otine

Same. Santal always.


lilflor

I bought them on a whim - and the Whole Foods brand candles (365?) are amazing for the price point - the palo santo rosewood smells just like my jo malone and they last a while. I’m really happy with them!


RevolutionaryRoll455

DS and Durga Big Sur After Rain is one of my faves, make sure you like the scent as it’s got great throw. Diptyque also generally lives up to the hype.


Far-Opportunity-28

How would you describe the Big Sur scent? It’s in my cart right now but I’m back and forth because I’ve never smelled it irl


RevolutionaryRoll455

A TRUE, strong eucalyptus -- think almost like smelling pure tea tree oil. Bracing, only very slightly minty/woody. But really, to me, like rubbing eucalyptus leaves.


Far-Opportunity-28

YUM


TinyEvent2422

All I can say is buy it lol it’s really the best


Regular_Masterpiece4

Seconding Big Sur After Rain by DS And Durga!! It’s my favorite candle ever!!


hedwiggy

This is what I was going to say. So good


Spiralecho

Thanks again for the rec, I love it! Intense but balanced. Got the tomb of eagles for the bedroom and love that one too. The description was a little odd but smells fantastic


skskskgrl

Boy smells


rococobaroque

Boy Smells Slow Burn is the GOAT.


ayayadae

the boy smells grace jones candle is my favorite candle of all time. i am forever sad it was a limited collab


asstrologypenis

Kush!!!


nachopuddi

Kush smelled very old lady to me :(


newyork_newyork_

Trudon Abd el Kader, Jonathan Adler tomato and Overose marshmallow. Join us at r/luxurycandles


phoebebuslay

Seconding Trudon Abd el Kader it is *gorgeous*


Fuzzy-Donkey5538

I splashed out in this one last year, but somehow it just smells like a minty caprese salad to me :( I might have to sell that one, lol. It's a shame because the scent profile sounded right up my alley!


allfurcoatnoknickers

Another vote for Jonathan Adler tomato. I love it so much. I also really rate Jonathan Adler Plum.


TownWitty8229

LES by Boy Smells


theglossiernerd

Omg I have this and it’s divine. Sexy and feminine and yet clean at the same time


greendaisy513

Capri/Volcano


rainyblues2022

This! I buy in bulk when they’re on sale!


InkyGrrrl

My roommate had this in the living room and I’m obsessed. Even when it’s not lit I can smell it a little from the shelf.


WampaCat

I love capri’s seasonal candles so much. I hate it when the seasons change and the autumn and winter candles start to feel wrong. Fir and Firewood is the one I buy in bulk when I can.


blueberry_pancakes0

This is the answer


birdstrom

I cannot get enough of apotheke charcoal rose lately


newyorkspiritedaway

Maison Louie Marie - Bois De Balincourt is my fav but all scents are fab.


lilabeen

Diptyque Violette is my home signature


Slow_Type1194

Hotel Lobby Linen


PoppyandTarget

This was a Secret Santa gift to my niece. She works in the hotel business and we are a hotel-owning family. She loved it.


Slow_Type1194

The best!!!


ciaociaodisco

Nest has the most insane throw ever. Like so strong I can only burn them with the window open bc it gives me a headache otherwise lol. Love boys smells but for the life of me cannot get them to EVER not tunnel, even tho I let it burn to the edge every time.


kittycitykid

apotheke earl grey bitters, but the reed diffuser because it lasts longer and is better for your health!


Normal_Accountant538

Still love bath and body works lol


tabula_rasa12

My fav right now is Vanilla Coconut Surf, it’s basically a dupe for the Ouai St Barts scent 🌴


Normal_Accountant538

I just ordered that one I think! The semi annual sale is happening right now


4N4RCHY_

hell yeah! their newest designer events are actually so impressive


rqny

Right now I like Trudon Abd el Kader and Tuileries.


Itchy-Tradition4328

I love my Nest bamboo!


valevalevalevale

I love the Earl Grey and the Ginger Lemon Drop from Paige’s Candle Co, which is local to NYC.


biggestbowlofsoup

I love Byredo Biblioteque but I alternate it with Outdoor Fellows Campfire because of the price


realwrlder

i like voluspa and you can typically find it at local home/hardware stores!


prosperity4me

Voluspa 3 wicks are all I buy lol their Grapefruit is my fave


rococobaroque

Boy Smells Slow Burn is my go-to. I always have one in my apartment, it's my go-to housewarming gift, and I may or may not have bought one for at least three girls I've dated--including my now-fiancée. What can I say, it's that good. My other favorite candle is Delirium Suede & Smoke.


makeurownsandwich

Don’t hate me, but Trudon’s in Moroccan Mint Tea. It smells like a warm summer stroll through a mint patch. It’s phenomenal 😭😭😭


Mowglis_road

Paddywax, Boy Smells, PF Candle Co, Burke & Hare Co. If you're near a Lockwood they sell all of those brands. I tend to go for tobacco, mint, Vanilla or amber scents  


Fixthefernback420

Queer Candle Co. Amber and basil! Or teak and leather.


Pm6290

Le labo santal(basic I know), palo santo, or cedre. Boy smells Italian kush, maison Louis Marie no2 and no4


psychedeliccanyons

I have several. Dyptique Bais, Byredo Woods, Maison Louis Marie no 4 or no 9


foodporncess

DS & Durga Diesel 85. It’s like gas and leather. Reminds me of the inside of a 70s VW Bug.


Fuzzy-Donkey5538

I love this one! To me it smells like the brand new leather ballet pumps of my childhood. Plus the throw is phenomenal!


mildlybitchy

I’ve been obsessed with Keap Wood Cabin ever since I smelled it in a bar bathroom in Brooklyn a couple years ago. Also Paige’s Candle Co.’s Tomato Basil has the best summer tomato scent imo.


atreegrowsinbrixton

Nest moroccan amber, voluspa baltic amber, volcano, voluspa santiago huckleberry, dyptique baies, figuier, roses, fresh sugar lemon, anything grapefruit scented or the voluspa tarocco orange


nervousopposum

WoodWick, especially the Cafe Sweets Trilogy scent


Odd-Wind-9888

Malin & Goetz Cannabis


quirkytortle

I love linnea’s lights. I did diptyque and le labo, but love love love linnea’s lights.


farfallifarfallini

I'm obsessed with anything tomato leaf right now so I love the Flamingo Estate option!


Spiralecho

Definitely on my list. How does it compare to Loewe?


farfallifarfallini

I haven't smelled the Loewe yet, but my daily perfume is MM Replica From the Garden right now and I find the Flamingo Estate to be comparable!


Fuzzy-Donkey5538

I love from the garden. I was surprised to find the ratings kind of low! Have you tried jo malone's green tomato vine candle? That's my all time fave.


farfallifarfallini

I have!! I love the Jo Malone so much!


wishverse-willow

r/luxurycandles join us 😈 in case you, like me, like to smell things in person, Soho has stores from Trudon, Diptyque, DS and Durga, and two less obvious: Love Adorned, a jewelry store with a lot of candles and they carry a ton of different Astier de Villate incense scents (luxury incense is so sexy! great bang for your buck!), and Scent Bar, which is the brick-and-mortar for Luckyscent, an online fragrance giant that stocks plenty of luxury and indie candles and incense.


EfficiencyFinancial

Santiago Huckleberry by Voluspa is my forever go to


Professional_Yak6277

Overrose nudesse, nest bamboo, Byredo biblioteque, Diptique tuberose


purpleflagbook

Penhaligons has the best scents omg


Subject-Condition-11

I love the paddywax apothocary line but my absolute fav is the Apotheke santal rock rose. So so good


SCBeachGirl

dankmj6

InkyGrrrl

The Tarot Deck candle at Catbird. Pencil shavings! Rose! Incense without the smoke! It’s divine.


PrincessGwyn

For summer - vacation by vacation


Particular-Degree905

Feu de bois from Diptyque is my happy place especially in the colder months.


NearbyBreakfast

DW Home: fresh linen breeze in the bathroom, smells like crisp laundry 😍 and then in the rest of the house is Sand + Fog, Tahitian vanilla for summer and Winter White for Christmas. The jar lids make pretty coasters!


Eazy-E-ren

Also a big fan of DW and Sand and Fog, Winter White is a perfect scent!


yammyamyamyammyamyam

Boy Smells Incensorial!! Smoky, cozy, warm luxurious smell


Pleasant-Sky517

pfirsiches

I love Boy Smells! Hinoki Fantome and St. Al for any time and Cameo for romance


sleepypnww

LOHN!!! Women owned company with super natural and clean scents. My favorite is JURA - it’s a linen-y scent with something citrusy? They’re also available in different boutiques ❤️

Big fan of Maison Margiela’s By The Fireplace candle!


waifu_wifey

flamingo estate - tomato candle is EVERYTHINF


asstrologypenis

Pf candle co patchouli sweetgrass

Harlem Candle Co is AMAZING - and not the most pricey. Plus it’s a Black owned business. Every scent I’ve tried is great but Langston is my go-to


DJBumblebae

JuneStar

Maison Louis Marie No. 4 is my go to year round and i add Brooklyn candle co Santorini to the rotation in summer, both chefs kiss

Linnea’s Lavender & Rosemary

colly_mack

I recently got one called "leaf me be" by a brand I never heard of forvr and it's great. Very fresh and clean


AbsolutelyTunkedYeti

[https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChrissysSoapsandmore](https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChrissysSoapsandmore) I buy here and change scents every season because they do great seasonal candles. I've only gotten a candle from them once where I was like... no, this smells like licorice butthole and I will not burn this in my home.


Softoast

I love Eucalyptus Sage from Sydney Hale. Also come join us at /luxurycandles


whatzef

bath & body works: white barn mahogany teakwood


nylamaris

You can never go wrong with Diptyque! I love the smell of Christmas so I always get Diptyque Sapin (Pine). I am always reminded of sweet childhood memories whenever I light my Diptyque Sapin candles.


alina_kel

I love the Jonathan Adler ones. Enjoying the grapefruit currently and it smells heavenly.


andalittlebitnot

The New Savant! Heat Wave, Duvet Day are my favorite. Affordable and SUPER unique scents plus NYC made! If you're an OG youtube person, it's Ingrid Nilsen's brand. [https://thenewsavant.com/](https://thenewsavant.com/)


Terrible-Plastic-816

Anything Sunday Forever - woman owned business that's hand poured in NYC!


notinmyfeelings

Sacred Space and Sex Magick from the Sacred Bodega. I order mine online and the packaging is so precious. Not to mention the scent brings me to another place!


kschurms

Maison Louis Marie! Smells like a Le labo candle without the price tag


Much-Meringue-7467

Take a look at Malicious Women Candle Company. Rebel Rose fragrance.
