As the days grow longer, spring is the perfect time to swap out your richer, wintry scents for something a little lighter and brighter. Enter: spring candles. Designed to breathe new life into your home, these seasonal scents offer an instant refresh, evoking open windows, blooming gardens and freshly laundered linens – with just a flick of a match.

Spring scents tend to lean towards the green, the floral and the citrusy — think neroli, bergamot, lily of the valley, cut grass and wild herbs. Notes like honeysuckle, jasmine and mimosa are perennial favourites too, often softened with touches of creamy musk or white woods to ground the fragrance without weighing it down. There’s also a growing trend for aquatic and ozonic notes, which give that clean, just-rained feel that perfectly mirrors the season’s April showers.
