2 min readHouse Beautiful editors might have different design tastes, but we can all agree on the importance of a high-quality scented candle. Normally, we're not afraid to shell out for luxe brands like Diptyque and Le Labo—the scents instantly elevate a room. However, when we want to be a bit more budget-minded, we seek a candle that strikes a balance between budget and elegance. It's why Quince's candle deal is so appealing.
Quince's line includes 11 candles, and each one costs just $24, comparable with Bath and Body Works and Yankee Candle favorites. They come with a long-lasting soy wax blend, and their glass vessel can be recycled as a table centerpiece. There's a wide scent range, but there was one that we agreed instantly sets the mood: the Dark Pomegranate.
When you initially smell it, fruity notes of pomegranate and mandarin hit you first. Dark plum and berry round out the sultry scent, while patchouli adds a spicy finish. It only gets more intense over time, so that you can light this one for a cocktail party and it'll keep the vibes going all night.
House Beautiful editors gathered for a massive smell test of all of Quince's candles, and the Dark Pomegranate was one of our top-five rated ones. (Our favorite, the Bois de Santal, is sadly sold out). "Really like this one!" one tester wrote. "It’s warm and cozy. It has what I was missing from some of the other candles: complex layers over the pomegranate that elevate the experience."
Not only are the candles pretty affordable on their own, but if you decide to grab more than one at a time, the price drops to just $20 each. It's quite the steal for hotel lobby-style quality. If that scent profile doesn't suit your tastes, good news. There are plenty of other HB editor-approved options to shop. We rounded up a few more of our ranked favorites below, from a refreshing, vibrant mint to a spa-like peony. Stock up, and be the best-smelling house on the block.
