From Floral Finds to Evocative Earthy Scents — Freshen Up Your Space With the Best Spring Candle for Every Style – Wired PR Lifestyle Story

Having spent the past few springs in Dallas, I’ve learned that you never know what the season will bring. One day it might be sunny and 75, the next could bring a winter storm with golf ball-sized hail. But you live, learn to check the weather app before you leave, and focus on one environment where you 100 percent can control the seasons: your home. With the best candles for spring, moods can be instantly lifted and any setting feels a little fresher — no matter where you are.

And fortunately for scent lovers, the past couple of years have seen the rise of a veritable renaissance candle. With more time at home to rearrange and re-energize your space with home decor, the it-bag or shoe gave way to a different kind of status symbol: the cult-loved candle. Unique brands like the gender-neutral Boy Smells, beautifully packaged Otherworld, and sustainably made Keap began mingling alongside the Diptyques and Cire Trudons of the world, offering more variety than ever when it comes to finding your scented soul mate.

To help you on the hunt, we’ve divided the best, spring-evoking candles into three scent categories: floral, citrus, and earthy. Explore wild lavender in Brooklyn, an eco-friendly mixture of grapefruit and yuzu, or indulge in a fresh, mossy aroma. These days, there’s a fresh spring scent for truly every style.
