Nette Supernatural
If you are looking for a clean formula that will add some pizzazz to your apartment, consider a candle from Nette. Nette uses a non-toxic coconut-soy wax blend and essential oils in all their formulas while adding zero synthetics. This scent is one of our favorites, as it adds a mature sweetness with notes like geranium while preparing us for a night of manifestations with woodsy notes from sandalwood and birch.

IMG male model Miles Garber set out at the end of 2020 to deliver a candle that reminds us to relax and take in the scenery. This hand-crafted natural beeswax candle celebrates the art that comes from artisans and is perfect for those looking to enjoy fragrance-free candlelit dinners while having a beautiful piece of decor in their space. However, don’t be too eager—the team at Hands recommends burning this candle one wick at a time.

With notes of rainwater, lavender, and vanilla bean, your worries will suddenly seem very far away.

The additional lavender and iris flower leave a heady high that is both sweet and herbaceous.

Néos Candlestudio David Bust Candle
If you are in the market for a decor piece to add to your maximalist space, look no further than Néos Candle Studio. Néos creates bust candles in neon colors to add a funky flair to an antiquated yet elegant bust design. It reminds us of what Sofia Coppola did during the ball scene in her film Marie Antoinette. We love this fragrance-free neon bust of David and are definitely adding a bright Venus to our carts, too.

Consider supporting this small but mighty brand if you’re searching for handmade, eco-friendly, and non-toxic candle formulations.

Ellétte Fumée Noire
Ellétte means “torch” or “bright light” in French, which is perfect for this French-inspired, Los Angeles–based candle brand. The Fumée Noire candle is the ideal addition to your home if you often find yourself looking for sexy and mysterious fragrances that linger all day. Notes of jasmine and rose fill a room with floral notes, much like a fabulous bouquet from the farmers’ market would. These are immediately juxtaposed with patchouli and coriander, which add a seductive and peppery touch, leaving you in a state of intoxication.
Isle de Nature Pagua Bay Fragrance Luxury Beeswax Candle
There is no reason that buying luxury means you can’t celebrate nature at the same time. This sentiment is the basis of Isle de Nature’s brand, which creates delicious scents while supporting local bee populations. Isle de Nature uses pure Dominican beeswax, sustainable soy wax, and coconut oil to create the Pagua Bay candle. This scent transports you to the small island of Pagua Bay in the West Indies with deep notes of bay leaf that balance well with woodsy and floral notes.
