Straight to the point: we are scented candle snobs. Like this. That it has been said. In fact, we always take a tasty variant home from every country - the best souvenir that will be of great use to you at home!

So, in random order, the delicious scented candles that are not to be despised. And they also look nice in your home, which is not unimportant.
Not only are we snobs when it comes to scented candles, we are also fans of dinner candles, who with us? Well the trend is one; that's one thing for sure. Read here where you can buy the most beautiful, cheapest candles to leave everything at home shine.
The ultimate luxury gift under €50 – but feels like Millionaire – is a Diptyque scented candle. Every Christmas season, Diptyque has a new selection of Christmas goodies. And we love itThis year the limited Sapin Scented Candle (€44) with scents of Siberian pine, resin, cedar and moss. Complete with a box chic match sticks.

Choosing scents and colors is impossible. The candles start at €90 for 170 grams and go up to €395 for larger sizes up to 2120 grams. This season's favorites are the light yellow ones.

Perhaps the most delicious scented candle we have ever had. Although we say that about several candles on this list. Cloud is Swedish for cloud and their candles come in a silky, light blue ceramic holder. Amoln Handmade by artisans with a long history in candlemaking. Naturally, without harming animals, people, or the environment.
The 15 scents are all special. On our bedside table is The museum - a Scandi arty scent with notes of grapefruit, saffron, violet, raspberry, vetiver and cashmere wood. A beautiful gift for yourself or blind buy for that friend who into art is. (€65) We also like ChadoA fragrance reminiscent of the tranquility and simplicity of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. With notes of bergamot, clove, jasmine, and green tea. And a base of guaiac wood and cedarwood.
In the 9 Streets of Amsterdam you will find some truly delicious shopping the French Diptych; handsome boy who walks out empty-handed. This French perfume house should not be missing from this list. The brand opened its first boutique in Paris in 1961 and traditional craftsmanship is combined with modern technology. This is how Diptyque became an iconic brand with new fragrances all the time.
Favorite here is the fragrance Figuier. Smells like a French winter in front of the fireplace should smell. Fig tree at Skins €60 for 190 grams and €40 for 70 grams.

Hotel Costes, Paris remains a favorite among the international, but certainly also among the French national fashion crowd. And for good reason. The Costes scented candle has been the homescent from the Hotel in Paris and we understand that very well. Scents of waxed wood, rum, mahogany, bitter orange peel, paprika, oak moss and soft notes of tobacco. We are fans. The scent is called Brown. Doesn't sound French, but it covers it all.
Charlotte Rhys, Cape Town, scented candles developed in South Africa under the motto: kind to you kind to nature, we love. The good thing is that the candles are not alone child for nature, they also smell really nice. Fresh and spicy with warm undertones.
Le Labo Okay, Le Labo is officially from Grasse, France, but the brand always makes us think of New York. Perhaps because that's where we first discovered our own home fragrance (body odor, that is: Santal 33 is the only perfume we've had in our bathroom for years). Sandalwood 26 just smells like a never out of style Luxury hotel in The City. €75
Soho House (The Cotswolds), There are Soho House locations all over the world, but at the one in the Cotswolds, in the British home of the brand, you definitely take a Cowshed candle home, right? Then do the Grumpy Cow, which smells of the British countryside, the good way.
La Mamounia, Marrakech, The house scent of La Mamounia, the iconic hotel in Marrakech, is also not to be missed: Marrakech at its best and as only Marrakech can smell. A little orange, a little spice and a little soapy water. Fleur d'Oranger is the original.
Byredo – When life gives you Sweden, make sure you pop into a Byredo store and pick up the Loveless fragrance: simple Swedish luxury in a jar. With a wick. And therefore perfect. Also not overly delicious: Library. Smells, indeed, like an old library. €39
Ortigia Sicilia – We will send back anyone who leaves Sicily without an Ortigia Sicilia candle. Fico d'India is a favorite but actually they are all delicious. The label has a patent on the most beautiful packaging, with a palm tree, and everything smells like summer in winter.
