You buy the candle. Light the candle. Smell the candle. Wash, rinse, repeat. That seems to be the whole point of it all, doesn’t it? Yet there are some beautiful candles that just seem to defy this notion. They gaze back at you lovingly in their pretty vessels and shapes. Daring you to light them if you can. It’s ok. We’re here for support. As we round up our list of beauties, we want to assure you that it’s ok to light them all.

Rigaud candles have a stately elegance, and this Rose Couture candle is no exception. Maybe it’s just us, but the soft pink color with the ribbon  just make this such a beautiful candle.

We love these beautiful candles that come in marble vessels that are capped with it’s own glass cloche. We particularly love the look of Alexandrie with its black and white marbling.

Voluspa makes lovely candles, including this gorgeous scent of Rose Petal Ice Cream. It’s hard to imagine lighting this beauty, but it’s ok…they make plenty more! The glass is wonderful to reuse for decor after the wax is all gone.

Simply Divine

If you are a floral candle fan, don’t pass up Diana Vreeland’s Simply Divine candle. This tuberose delight is just that…simply divine. It has a beautiful colored wax pool once burning, so burn, baby, burn!

Fornasetti candles are often in edgy designed vessels like this one – Peccato Originale in the scent Frutto Proibito. Fornasetti’s recognizable muse is wrapped in this gorgeous gold snake. The vessel and scent are mesmerizing!
