I'm all for an amazing-smelling home, I mean, who isn't? Floral scents that wrap around the house — oh, what a treat. Or perhaps you're more of a sandalwood type of person; if so, I totally get it. The subtle woody, creamy tones are undeniably a great way to elevate your home's scent.
Now, if you're wondering how to make your home smell good, a candle is a great place to start. Best of all? You can find some of the chicest and most luxurious-smelling brands on Amazon. You read that right... Yes, Amazon.
And with Amazon Prime Day in full swing, what better way to stock up on some of your favorite home fragrances and candles than now? Here, I've put together a list (just for you, yes you) to indulge, unwind, and light a candle or two while hitting 'add to cart'.
blomus
Known for its minimal and sleek design, German luxury home accessories brand blomus, looks at interiors and lifestyle concepts that aim to transform the home. Offering clean forms and sustainable products, this brand distinguishes itself through its exceptional craftsmanship. As well as selling furniture and home goods, blomus is also known for its elegant and fragrant candles.
The brand holds its range of candles on its site and on Amazon. My personal favorite is the Sandalwood Myrrh — oozing with woody, warm notes — the subtle sandalwood scent will create a calm and aromatic atmosphere throughout the home. The concrete design of the candle certainly lends a minimalist look, making it easy to integrate into your home's interior design.
Now, if you're wondering where you should put this scented candle, then we've got you covered on that front.

NEOM, founded by Nicola Elliott, is known for its simple yet bold design and scents. The brand ethos is to put wellbeing at the forefront of what they create, giving consumers the chance to experience better sleep, reduced stress, increased energy, and a boosted mood through its aromatic scents.
Right now, the brand features on Amazon with a selection of products to choose from — including its line of candles. And if you're looking to get your hands on one of these candles, you'd be happy to know that NEOM's Complete Bliss scented candle is currently at 20% off on Amazon, priced at only £30.40. At the moment on the NEOM website, the candle is priced at £38, so if you ask me — you're getting quite a saving here. The candle brings in a warm cascade of velvety, pale pink roses once its fresh scent fills the room. I mean, it sounds like the perfect candle for sleep, so don't mind if I do!

La Jolíe Muse
Founded in 2016, La Jolíe Muse is a female-led brand that creates premium fragrances globally. Creating a luxury feel through its designs and scents, the brand focuses on non-toxic ingredients and recyclable materials.
Aside from selling directly from its website, the brand currently has its fragrant candle line on Amazon. With a range of stunning candles that come in unique vessels, like this La Jolie Muse Starlit Golden Fir Scented Candle, priced at £21, as well as my favorite, the Passionfruit Peony at just £22.
Highlighting the Passionfruit Peony scent, this candle captures a sweet aroma of passionfruit with a hint of sourness and the delicate fragrance of just-crushed peony petals.
A delightfully delicate candle scent for your home office, perhaps?

Salt & Stone
Self-care brand Salt & Stone, founded by former professional snowboarder Nima Jalali, is renowned for its skincare line as well as its fragrance range. Each product within the brand has been carefully curated using antioxidant and nutrient-rich ingredients.
Salt & Stone's Santal & Vetiver candle, available on Amazon, is what takes the spotlight for me. Made with a natural coconut and soy blend wax, this candle gives off notes of woody, warm tones, with a wash of amber and a hint of Australian sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver. There is also a gentle smell of cardamom that comes through once the candle is lit. It's perfect if you're looking to make your entryway smell welcoming.

Skandinavisk
Skandinavisk began its roots in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2012 by Shaun Russell, drawing inspiration for the brand from the beauty of Scandinavia. The brand focuses on home fragrance and body products, with a touch of Scandinavian flair.
Aside from the brand's aesthetic appeal, its scents are loved and admired globally, and best of all? The range is also available on Amazon. A candle I've been eyeing recently, and which may also be the answer to making my living room smell good, is the Fjord candle. The candles are wrapped around fruity scent notes, drawing in the lush smell of apple and pear blossom, orchard fruits, and redcurrants.
Scent: Fruity notes

Maison Louis Marie
Luxury brand Maison Louis Marie, founded by Marie Du Petit Thouars, aims to bring opulence and lavish scents into the home through its fragrances, candles, and skincare line. The brand was initially launched with just six scents, inspired by Marie's family botanical heritage. Now, the brand has expanded globally with a range of products to choose from.
Le Refuge d'Ernest is one of the brand's products that stood out to me — it pays homage to Marie's Great Great Great Grandfather, Ernest Solvay, who was a Belgian scientist and inventor with a passion for exploring. The candle will transport you to 'a cabin in the alps'.
Scent: Warm notes of amber, white birch, and cedarwood
Burn time: A long-burning candle, but to preserve fragrance, limit to 3 hours at a time

Dripping in luxury, home fragrance brand M&SENSE certainly knows how to make a statement. Best known for its candles and diffusers, M&SENSE carries a range of floral, fruity, and woody notes throughout its products. The range is also available on Amazon, so if you're looking for a quick fix and delivery, you're in the right place.
Now, the special and truly gorgeous candle that caught my eye instantly was M&SENSE's Blue Volcano. Giving you a clean and consistent burn, this candle carries a naturally perfumed scent of tropical fruit, sandalwood, strawberry, raspberry, and orange — quite the concoction. But aside from its heavenly fragrance, the candle is housed in a stunning deep blue vessel that will undoubtedly make a statement in any home. Oh, what a fine way to decorate with blue, am I right?
