The best Christmas candles

Here's our roundup of the best festive candles.

You've put up the tree, hung garlands and a wreath is hanging majestically on your front door; it definitely looks like Christmas but what about a festive scent?

The rise in popularity of artificial trees means some of the smells traditionally associated with Christmas have disappeared.

The best way to reintroduce them into your home - and of course add to the cosy wintery atmosphere - is with candles.

Here's our roundup of the best of the bunch:

If it's pine needles you're after Shay & Blue's Pine d'Antibes is an authentic take on the woody scent.

For something a little sweeter cinnamon and gingerbread dominate Roja's Essence of Christmas Candle.

For those with a big budget, you can't get more festive than Cire Trudon's Nazareth candle, as well as the glitzy gold packaging there's an aromatic blend of orange, clove and cinnamon.
