Trying to find a sliver of inspiration to create our own aromatherapeutic escape at home, we turn to one of our friends of BAZAAR, Bella Kuan, for some trusted guidance. A lifestyle queen herself, she has been inspiring us with her number of mouth-salivating recipes on Instagram—but now she shares her current candle favourites that she’s got on heavy rotation.
Le Labo Santal 26 Candle
The Santal is a cult-classic fragrance, and the candle iteration definitely doesn’t disappoint. Expect the same spicy, musk experience—but this time, let those notes of amber, sandalwood, cocoa, cedar and vanilla take over and elevate your entire space. Despite their store at KLCC being closed for the time being, you can still shop Le Labo through their Home Concierge Service via Whatsapp at 03-2181 0128.
Fresh Sake Candle
Inspired by Japanese bathing rituals, the Fresh Sake candle perfectly marries natural oils with peach nectar, mandarin and osmanthus to create a lush, sensual scent to uplift a space with its decadent notes. Fresh uses premium, lead-free wicks which is combined with the finest natural waxes and oils to ensure that its candles produce a consistent clean burn that flawlessly throws the scent across the entire room.
Jo Malone London Lime Basil & Mandarin Home Candle
One of Jo Malone’s signature scents, the Lime Basil & Mandarin home candle is an inviting fresh zesty fragrance that embodies a cool tropical breeze. Layers of citrus are accompanied by warm peppery basil and aromatic white thyme to bring an unexpected warmth that perfectly compliment the lime.
