There's nothing quite like a good candle to take the ambiance in a well-decorated room to the next level. Whether you're creating signature scent for your home or just want to set the tone, adding a waft of something beautiful isn't just stimulating to the senses and relaxing, it's also the perfect finishing touch. Who doesn't love striking a match for that first spicy candle once it gets chilly outside? We digress.
Not all candles are made to burn the same and in our humble opinion, you really do get more when you shop the very finest luxury scents. Besides, many of the upscale picks actually add to your decor. Here, 20 of the finest luxury candles to burn in your home no matter the season.
Tubéreuse (Tuberose) Medium candle
