Yankee Candle

Fresh Cut Roses

Yankee Candle Fresh Cut Roses Valentine's Day Candle
This is a Floral fragrance. The fresh, dewy, and intoxicating scent of a lush bouquet of roses. Rounded with apple peel in the top notes and soft powder at the base, this scent invites you to treat yourself to a dozen long-stemmed beauties. Photo credit: Yankee Candle
While we have been disappointed with some of the lastest from Yankee Candle, Fresh Cut Roses remains a big hit around our office. The scent of roses is perfect for this occasion and this is a realistic version, complete with greenery. It’s enough to make you and your lovebug swoon!

Voluspa

Rose Petal Ice Cream

This is a gorgeous scent and the candle vessel? Beauty bonus points. In case a straight up floral is not your sweetie’s cup of tea, the creamy ice cream notes in this one soften up the beautiful floral for a great mix.

Diptyque

Roses

Diptyque Roses Candle
The Rose scented candle evokes rose bushes in May. Some flowers are still opening, others in full bloom. Their petals are beaded with dew, and their fragrance fills the air with fresh, flowery notes. A wonderful bouquet. Photo credit: Diptyque
Yeah, we know this candle from Diptyque is cliché, but Roses is simply a gorgeous scent from a high-quality candle company. Luxurious and long-lasting, this one really can’t be beat.

Bella Freud

Loving

Bella Freud Loving Candle
Bella Freud Handpicked ingredients add a magnetic seductive touch to this formulation with tantalizing notes of Tuberose Absolute sitting in the heart, caressed by the warmth of Amber Crystals silently balanced by Sandalwood. Photo Credit: Bella Freud
The Loving candle from Bella Freud is a little more bold with notes of amber and sandalwood mixing with a white floral. It’s intoxicating. Plus the jar is red. Enough said.

5

Salty Scents

Love Bomb
