6 beautiful and fragrant candles I’m obsessed with

Are you obsessed with candles? Same here, same here.

I wrote a candles roundup post years ago featuring several well-known brands in my collection, but I’ve since discovered so many lesser-know candle brands that are just as, if not better. Here are my top 5 picks:

Fvith Velvet Moon

If you love the aesthetics of Byredo Candles but find them too pricey, Fvith is an incredible alternative with a great selection of more unisex fragrances. Tunnels evenly and the throw will fills the entire floor of my home.

Velvet Moon smells like a decadent chocolate cake, just a hint of sweetness with a lot of creaminess. A totally delicious scent that’s more elevated than your usual gourmand candles.

→ $45/8.5oz or $24/2.4oz on Fvith and Candle Delirium

Otherland Cardamom Milk*

Can we just appreciate their whimsical designs and beautiful jars? No wonder they’re an Instagram favorite. They have a core collection but release seasonal LE candles that are absolutely worth it.

For fall and winter, I highly recommend Cardamom Milk. It smells like a creamy chai latte that fills the entire room, so cozy and comforting, not to mention it’ll look beautiful in any space. Keep reading for a giveaway!!

→ $36/8oz or $89/3 candles on Otherland

Tribal Candle Co Aida

A black-owned candle brand with the most beautiful packaging! The scents are the opposite of Fvith – soft, airy, and feminine. Throw is a little weaker, but still good enough to fill up a bedroom!

Aida is my favorite and she is springtime in a jar! A light floral with notes of water lily and peony, very delicate and pretty, which is signature of all their scents.

The 125 Collection

If you like your candles sassy and cheeky, you need to check out this Black-owned brand’s extensive collection. Currently I’m counting 69 different designs you can pick from!

What I love about them is their ability to mix the different candle jars with scents of your choice. Currently they have 3 – Metallic Rose, Lavender & Sage, and Spicy Blood Orange, but they should be bringing back my favorite Vanilla + Tobacco for the fall/winter.

→ $35/10.5oz on The 125 Collection

Soohyang Boy’s Neck

Beautiful pink + white aesthetics aside, it also comes in the prettiest pink box that is 100% worth keeping. Plus the candle itself burns cleanly with a throw that works in medium or small spaces.

Boy’s Neck is not my usual type of of scent but I absolutely love how freshly manicured garden in the summer. It’s a green earthy scent, but with a hint of florals, making it a good choice for someone who wants try something more unisex.

→ $52/7oz on Soohyang, Lucky Scent

Project Coax Eucalyptus + White Tea + Bamboo*

If you love a simple minimal design you’ll really like the aesthetics of Project Coax. Their scents fit their aesthetics too, serene and spa like. Throw is great for medium smaller spaces, like a bedroom or bathroom.

This particular one definitely smells like a spa and always calms me when I light it. I love using it in the bathroom when I’m taking a bath or in the bedroom when I’m doing a self care session, and it’s pure bliss.

→ $32.40/9oz at Project Coax

There are a other smaller candle brands I’ve tried as well but tbh their throw wasn’t too great which is why I didn’t feature them in this list.
