The Candles Edit
Candles have a quiet kind of power. Lighting one can soften a room, slow a moment, or signal a shift in energy. During recovery, these small rituals can help ground us — creating a comforting sanctuary that feels just for you. The gentle glow adds beauty to the day. The scent uplifts your mood. The moment invites mindfulness.
This EDIT is about those small, sensory comforts. Scents that uplift. Light that calms. Rituals that mark moments of care.
Neom Feel Refreshed Scented Candle
Lemon and basil come together in this energising blend designed to clear the head and lift the spirit. This candle is perfect for mornings or moments when you need a reset. The scent fills the room without overwhelming, gently nudging your mood in a brighter direction.
Lulu tip: Light it before or after a shower to give your bathroom a spa-like feel, or during a mid-morning cup of tea to mark a calm pause in your day.
Available from Neom, John Lewis, Space NK and selected retailers.
Plum & Ashby Seaweed & Samphire Candle
Bracing and clean, this candle evokes windswept coastal walks, even if you're indoors under a blanket. With notes of citrus, seaweed, and fresh samphire, it brings a breath of fresh air into your home and can help reset a tired or heavy-feeling space.
Lulu tip: Light this one in the bathroom or hallway to bring the outside in, it’s an unexpected mood-lifter.
Available online from Plum & Ashby and selected stockists.
Diptyque Classic Set of Three Mini Candles
A beautifully curated trio of Diptyque’s iconic scents Baies, Figuier, and Roses. Each one distinct, yet complementary. Light one at a time to suit your mood, or burn them together for a layered, sophisticated scent story that fills your space with warmth and personality.
Lulu tip: Try Figuier for grounding calm, Baies for a fresh, mood-lifting feel, and Roses when you want a soft moment of beauty.
Available from Diptyque and Liberty London.
On the first burn, trim the wick to ¼ inch and let the wax melt all the way to the edges. It helps your candle burn evenly, avoid tunneling and last longer.
ARDERE Moroccan Tea House Candle
Inspired by North African tea rituals, this blend of spearmint, white tea, and cedarwood is as soothing as it is refreshing. Wild mint renews the senses and supports the respiratory system, helping to open airways and bring a little calm to anxious moments.
Clean and uplifting, it’s ideal for clearing the air and resetting the space; like opening a window in your mind.
Lulu tip: Light this one mid-morning or after a long day when you need clarity, calm, and a breath of fresh air.
Available from ARDERE online, John Bell & Croydon and selected stockists.
Earl of East Onsen Candle
Rooted in the ritual of Japanese hot springs, Onsen blends peppermint, eucalyptus, and mandarin for a crisp, reviving scent. It’s fresh and clarifying — like stepping into steam — and perfect for mornings when you need a mental reset or evenings when you’re washing the day away.
The peppermint and eucalyptus support clear breathing and focus, while the subtle citrus brings a gentle lift to your mood.
Lulu tip: Pair with a long bath or a quiet stretch. A moment to recalibrate.
Available from Earl of East and selected retailers.
Jo Malone Amber & Orange
A dose of luxury. This rich, warming scent blends amber, orange blossom and soft woods to wrap your space in comfort. A little goes a long way, the throw is strong, the fragrance layered and enveloping.
Packaged in a signature ceramic jar, it’s a statement piece as much as it is a scent.
Lulu tip: This elevates a quiet afternoon or adding something beautiful at the end of the day.
Available from Jo Malone London, John Lewis and Selfridges.
St. Eval Bay & Rosemary Candle
This blend of aromatic herbs feels like opening a window onto the garden. Bay uplifts with its leafy brightness, while rosemary brings a clear, restorative edge, ideal for refocusing your energy or clearing mental fog.
A ritual you can take from room to room.
Available from St. Eval and selected stockists.
