Get ahead for Christmas with these luxe home fragrance brands for less – the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is on
I'm stocking up on my favorite fragrances from Jo Malone, Diptyque, Nest and more, and I might even treat myself


Home fragrance products always feel like such a treat, whether you're buying for others or yourself, especially when the compliments fly in from visitors wanting to know what it is and where you found your best candles, essential oil diffusers and reed diffusers.
It's even more satisfying if you can nab your favorites for less in the sales. Luckily the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is now on (until 3 Aug) and I'm stocking up on big-name luxury brands, such as Jo Malone, Diptyque and Nest now to get ahead for Christmas. I may even treat myself to a gift or two 'pour moi'. My Diptyque Baies candle is always a favorite, and I've got my eye on Jo Malone's English Pear and Freesia reed diffusers to match my favorite Cologne.
I don't want everyone finding out about these great deals before I've had chance to fill my Christmas gift boxes, though – for once I'm actually getting organized for the festive season before Thanksgiving. Here's what I'll be adding to my cart, but don't tell my friends and family as they could be unwrapping some of them in December.
My home fragrance picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale
I can keep one for me and give one to a friend wtih this deal on reed diffusers in my favorite Jo Malone scent. It's so light and fresh for summer and will fill your home with floral notes of freesia and King William pear.
This set of 3 candles comes in the prettiest tins, and includes the scents: Wildflowers; Eucalyptus and white sage; Mountain lavender and Chamomile. You can add a free printed gift message and a Nordstrom fabric gift bag or box for $5 extra.
Diptyque's Baies (berries) candle has long been my go-to, but this set features three different scents so if you're not sure of a recipient's preference, it's a great option.
This pair of aromatherapy candles are made from pure soy wax and feature lead-free cotton wicks and reusable glass jars. The set includes soothing lavender and romantic rose candles, studded with floral stems.
This travel candle set from Apotheke comes with six mini scented candle tins ranging from sea salt grapefruit to conjure up vacation vibes, to pumpkin ginger for fall feels. Plus the tins are re-useable.

Get two diffusers for the price of one. They come in two different scents – zesty grapefruit and green and floral bamboo, so the lucky recipient can put them in different rooms or you can stow one away for someone else.
