Colonial Candle

Fine Merlot

A long standing fan favorite, this deep wine inspired scent is rich with muddled berries, plum, and apple notes. Added complexity from mulled spices and smooth musk round out this show-stopping wine candle. Merlot is the perfect mix of wine, berry, and a hint of spice. Photo credit: Colonial Candles

The Fine Merlot candle from Colonial smells just like a freshly opened bottle of smooth merlot. It is very fruity and juicy, with a bit of warmth from the spices. So smooth and sweet!

Rewined

Merlot

Smoky, balanced, and velvety smooth from start to finish. From a vibrant dinner party full of rich dishes to a quiet date night, Merlot is the perfect all-occasion partner. Indulge in notes of violet and luscious plum with a sweet tobacco leaf finish. Photo credit: Rewined

You can find plenty of boozy candles at Rewined, housed in gorgeous cut wine bottles. Their Merlot fragrance is a bit softer and mellow, which helps round out this list nicely.
