This year’s Highsnobiety Gift Guide is all about the presents that’ll make a difference in these new and strange times. From gifts that encourage connection with loved ones, to self-love suggestions you entirely deserve at the end of 2020.
The holiday season is a season for the senses. Bright lights and bad music account for sight and hearing, but perhaps the most active organ over the festive period is the nose. While we love the smell of spices and cooking over the holiday, it can reach overload at times. This is when your scented candle gifts really pay off. The right scented candle can clear the cocktail of smells and create a much-needed sanctuary for your senses.
Finding the right scent can be a real problem, though. So instead of allowing you to wade through the endless combinations that are, realistically, near impossible to imagine from a brief description, we’ve rounded up a scented candle gift guide. Below is the cream of the crop when it comes to escapism in olfactory form.

Byredo Cotton Poplin Permanent Candle
The best candle gifts not only smell great but look great too. This black scented candle from Byredo looks so good that it can actually pass as an ornament.
Chrome Hearts +22+ Scented Candle
As far as scented candles go, this one's a straight flex. The signature Chrome Hearts cross details the glass holder and realistically the scent comes second on this one...
retaW Allen Scented Candle
retaW is the master of all things scented, so when it comes to buying gifts for candle lovers, it's a safe bet. The Allen Candle boasts floral top notes and a deep, musky base for a rounded finish.
Maison Margiela Replica Lazy Sunday Candle
Margiela's signature label punctuates the Replica Candle, describing the Lazy Sunday scent as soft skin and bed linen. In terms of kicking back, this is the best scented candle gift for it.
Flaming Crap 'The 2020 Scent' Candle
2020 was a crazy year and this scented candle from Flaming Crap embodies it. From banana bread to hand sanitizer and even the budget aftershave that Joe Exotic would wear, this is all of 2020, good and bad, in one place.
A-COLD-WALL* No. 4 Shale Scented Candle, 6.3 oz
Part of what makes Samuel Ross' A-COLD-WALL* so intriguing is Ross' willingness to experiment with different media. While we never thought that the label would produce candles, the No. 4 Shale Scented Candle perfectly slots into the brand's clean, industrial image.
IKEA Osynlig Candle
So you didn't think you'd try looking in IKEA for the best candle gifts? Nor did we, but Osynlig's sandalwood & vanilla scent is the hidden gem we've been waiting for.
Ferm LIVING Tuck Scented Soy Candle In Stoneware Pot
Ferm LIVING's stoneware pot steals the show here. The lemongrass soy candle is delicate and refreshing, and the handcrafted pot will probably be on show for years to come.
Jonathan Adler Muse Blanc Ceramic Candle
The scent of fresh-cut flowers emanates from this eye-catching sculpture of a scented candle by Jonathan Adler. Carefully formed visages surround the cup in an immaculate white ceramic.
Laboratory Perfumes Atlas Candle
Rum and vanilla form the basis of the Atlas Candle by Laboratory Perfumes. It's a cozy, festive smell that doesn't venture into the arena of novelty scents. Full-bodied and fresh, the candle sits in a replica laboratory measuring cylinder.
