There is something equally ethereal and familiar about this velvet hazy scent, characterised by a warming heart of amber, musk and cedarwood, and delicate touches of jasmine and rose.

While the beach might be off limits in winter because we blatantly refuse to reenact the tragic events of Titanic (R.I.P Jack) for a cheeky dip in the ocean, that doesn’t mean that meandering through the bush can’t be at the forefront of the brain. Bring the hike home with this pine, citrus, grass and eucalyptus-scented burner. 

$79 at The Iconic

Comforting, deep and pensive, this candle bears notes of vanilla, amber moss, teak, sandalwood, pine and patchouli. The best part? When the candle is eviscerated from frequent use, the glass vessel it’s housed in can be reused as a cocktail tumbler.

There’s nothing more comforting than a morning filled with the promise of a hearty breakfast and good company. Sweet notes of honey, marmalade and biscuits are warmed with moreish moments of oat, tea, toast, smoke and hay absolute. 

$97 at MECCA

As if this gorgeous glass vessel wasn’t beautiful enough, the candle it houses is sensual, earthy and bright in equal measure too. Spicy notes of ginger and lemongrass play with the heady aromas of frankincense and palo santo here.
