Ceate a sanctuary in your home by lighting your favourite scented candle.
WATCH: Adam makes a burnt wood coffee table
Not only will your fragrance of choice make your home smell absolutely delicious, there’s something about lighting a wick and watching the flame flicker that sets a comforting tone.
In these cooler months, opt for something warming, musky, spicy and woody, and when summer rolls around, consider replacing these scents with anything fruity, floral or fresh.
We have selected the best Australian winter candles for you to treat yourself to this season – all that’s left to do is sit back and relax!
