Upgrade your bath time with these cosy winter candles

Candles are an easy way to make your home feel more relaxing. Here, we round up the best winter candles to light this season.

If we had to associate just one word with winter, it would be ‘cosy’. This time of the year gives us the perfect excuse to throw on our fluffy The White Company robes, pull on some warm fuzzy socks and nestle down for some wholesome Sister Sister viewing under a blanket.

To help create the perfect relaxing ambience at home, we often reach for a candle. From the gorgeous scents that gently waft through the room to the calming glow of a candle flame, they’re the perfect addition to any home set-up.

So, we’ve rounded up our favourite winter candles to help you embrace the cosy season. From one that smells like a rose garden after a rainstorm to one that has no scent at all, here are our favourites…
