Sometimes you just need to go home, light a scented candle, and breathe slowly and deeply. The scent of a candle can transport you to an oasis of calm. Its scent can evoke a memory, help create a new one, or give you that warm smell that tells your brain that the day is over, you’re inside, and it’s time to relax.

And nothing beats a luxury candle to get the job done.

With a luxury candle, you get what you pay for. The best luxury candle will offer an incredible scent, so you can smell it in virtually every room in your home.

A designer candle often offers fine scent notes (or scent profiles) that regular candles do not offer. Luxury candles may even offer a longer burn time due to their wax type and wick. Unlike a cheap candle made with wax and fillers that may not burn evenly, a designer candle is less likely to tunnel.

Depending on the type of candle you buy, it may even be a clean-burning candle, meaning it contains an essential oil or fragrance oil base and does not release toxic chemicals. This type of candle is also less likely to leave a soot trail when burning.

Our team of home and shopping experts have rounded up the best luxury candles, including clean-burning candles, that will make your home smell really, really good.

We included an editor-favorite Diptyque candle, candles from Oribe, a hair care brand that now makes candles with its signature scent, perfume house Byredo, and candles from another E! Editors’ favorite brand, Apotheke.

Choose from multiple scent profiles, including a grapefruit-scented candle, a woodsy scent from Byredo, an iconic blackcurrant scent from Diptyque and more.

These scented candle options are not only perfect for you, these candle brand options also make great gifts.
