There’s nothing more relaxing—or inviting—than letting a warm candle fill the air with an amazing scent. Of course, scent is a deeply personal preference, and what smells like heaven to some may be, well, hell for others. That’s why it’s great when a candle sale comes along—it’s the perfect excuse to buy a bunch and take your chance on a new fragrance. But there are so many types to try that it can seriously be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve rounded up six favorite scents from top candle makers that are marked down right now at popular retailers including Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, and Macy’s. Grab some for yourself, plus a few extra to give as gifts.
