Candles & Diffusers
A candle that smells wonderful yet still looks good unlit on a shelf: that's the thread running through this edit. Paddywax scented candles come in hand-painted ceramic, coloured glass or metal tins; MARGO pours vegan candles in soy wax, Atelier Pistache goes for dessert and cocktail notes, and Helio Ferretti shapes mushrooms and balloon dogs that sit happily among your decorative pieces. For a flame-free option, the Paddywax A Dopo reed diffuser scents a room on its own. Expect to pay from around €10 to roughly €70 for a candle.
Picking the right candle for your home
- By room: a small Beam in glass or a Bistro tin is plenty for a bathroom or hallway, while a large A Dopo in ceramic fills a living room.
- By scent: fresh (Meyer Lemon, Fresh Air & Sea Salt), woody (Black Cedar & Fig, Tobacco Patchouli) or gourmand (Café au lait, Tiramisu Lover) for the colder months.
- As a present: a slogan candle from Félicie Aussi or a 3D candle by DOIY raises a smile, and a Fluid Market or MISS ETOILE candle holder rounds off the gift.
