admin I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m something of a fragrance obsessive in all its forms—perfumes, body mists and, of course, candles. I have an embarrassingly large collection on hand at all times and I burn through them at a frankly alarming rate, regardless of the season. There is, however, something about autumn that moves candles from a nice-to-have to an absolute essential in my home. The colder temperatures and earlier nights mean that the ritual of lighting a candle feels even more important.
But while I have somewhat expensive taste when it comes to the candles that I adore, I am well aware that my job as a beauty editor means that I have access to some of the most wonderful candle brands without cost being a barrier. And if I was purchasing them myself? I would definitely hesitate before dropping upwards of £60 on a candle if I wasn’t sure whether I’d like it once home. After all, sniffing a candle in its jar doesn’t always give you an accurate depiction of what it will smell like once it has been lit.
That’s where candle discovery sets come in—the perfect entry point to some of the pricer brands that I adore, without having to commit to a full-sized purchase.
