Best Summer Scented Candles

While a beach holiday feels like a distant dream and the constant thunderstorms are ruining many of our social plans, we're determined to make summer 2021 a good one, especially after a pandemic that's wreaked havoc. One way to instantly transport yourself to a tropical island is through scent, which is exactly why a summer candle is a perfect pick-me-up.

They can also come in handy at masking lingering scents from a BBQ garden party or add an ambiance to dinner parties and get-togethers, now we can finally socialise indoors.

If you love the smell of something sweet, this Pastel Macaroons Scented Candle from Jo Malone London is to die for, while the Tree House Candle by Byredo is our go-to for a woody fragrance, thanks to notes of sandalwood and leather. However, if you're obsessed as we are with fresh flowers, but don't have a garden of your own, The White Company's Flowers Signature Candle, fragranced with jasmine, rose, neroli, lavender and geranium is the next best thing.
