“The chicest of candles are from this Paris-based company that uses visuals from some of the most important artists of this century and the last. My favorite is the Basquiat Rose because I love pink and I love the painting on the candle. It smells fruity and delicious—as though I had baked a cake, which almost never happens!”

“I'm totally obsessed with Perfumer H, London's new scents and candles shop, which has been set up by [perfumer] Lyn Harris who does bespoke scents in a beautiful shop in Marylebone. Her candles and bottles are made by an English glassblower, and I especially love the scent Dandelion. You can get it etched with initials, which makes it a beautiful gift!”

“My favorite candle is the jasmine-scented one from Diptyque. I get it for my mum or any of my friends, because it has a lovely fragrance that fills the room almost as soon as you light it. It's a great stocking filler!”

“I love Cire Trudon's Abd el Kader—its chic design, the delicious scent, and the fact that it comes in many sizes. But at Christmas, I particularly use the Rigaud Cyprès scent. The pine notes remind me of my childhood. No one has ever made a better-smelling Christmas candle.”

“I love gifting a Fornasetti lidded candle when I have someone on my list who appreciates a touch of whimsy. The artfully glazed exteriors transform the candle into a beautiful home accent piece. I have a weakness for the Giardino Segreto candle in particular.”

“My favorite candles are the ones of my friend Eric Buterbaugh, who recently launched his eponymous brand. He sells them in his [flower] store in Los Angeles. He has seven of the most incredible floral scents and the best is the jasmine candle. I would give them to anyone if I could get my hands on them but they are difficult to find as they are always sold out!”
