Christmas Candle Gift Guide: A Scent for Everyone on Your List

Fresh Balsam

Fresh-cut fir and balsam with cedar underneath and a cool, clean lift of eucalyptus. It smells like the day you bring the tree home. The notes are fir, balsam and cedar. It comes in the 4 oz amber jar, 9 oz amber jar, 11 oz glass tumbler and 16 oz glass jar, from $16. Shop Fresh Balsam.

For the person who bakes

Cinnamon & Vanilla and Comfort Spice smell like a kitchen in December. Warm cinnamon and clove folded into cream and sweet vanilla. The smell of something baking, with nothing to wash up afterwards.

For someone who needs a quiet evening

Eucalyptus Lavender Herb and White Sage & Lavender are calm and herbal, and they suit a bedroom or bath.

For someone who likes fresh, not festive

Not everyone wants their house to smell like a tree. Clean Cotton and Sea Breeze are clean and bright all winter.

Stocking stuffers

The 4 oz amber jar ($16) fits a stocking: Fresh Balsam, Vanilla Bean, Comfort Spice and Pink Grapefruit all come in it.

The bigger gift

For a main present, the 11 oz glass tumbler ($28) or the 16 oz glass jar ($30) burn for 45–55 hours and 60–80 hours. They come in Vanilla Bean, Fresh Balsam, Comfort Spice, Eucalyptus Lavender Herb, Sea Breeze and Honeysuckle.

When to order

Every candle is made to order. It ships within 2–5 business days, then spends 2–5 days in the mail (US only). To have it by Christmas, order by December 10.
