The time to take a flame to a Christmas-inspired candle is here, and we couldn't be more excited.
The ritual of getting in the festive spirit (while Bublé and Mariah play in the background), and the scent of Christmas fills the air, is unlike any other.
But what does Christmas smell like to you? For us, it's fresh pine when putting up the tree; it's homemade cookies straight out of the oven; and it's the pavlova to devour come Boxing Day.
From fruity desserts to cosy moments, here are six festive candle options that will transport you straight to December 25 (which can't come soon enough, if you ask us).
