Note from the editor: Most of these candles were reduced for Black Friday only. We don't expect to see them on sale until after Christmas, but I've left the products in this guide and restored the pricing to pre-sale numbers.

Christmas is nearly here, so now it is the best time to invest in a festive scent that will linger throughout the holiday season.

I trained and qualified as a Master Perfumer five years ago and learned a lot about scents and candles. Whilst some designer discounts might look appealing, don't be duped by the price. There are lots of brands that charge high prices for poor quality, so it's important to choose your cozy candles carefully.

I've written our buying guide for the best candles, but have put lots of extra time into scouring the market, checking credentials, and even testing out a number of these myself. 

These are all top-quality candles and really, nothing smells better than a Christmas candle.
