Completing your cosy home vibes with candles 👃

The Diptyque Coton candle has such a gentle, comforting scent — it really makes our home feel calm and cozy. Sometimes it’s the little things like this that make a space feel extra special 🕯️✨ 
Okay, this one’s a little unexpected — meet the doll head candle from youmeandbones. It’s equal parts eerie and cool, and somehow fits right into our home. 🕯️👀 The kind of piece that makes people stop, stare, and then ask, “Wait… is that a candle?!” I love how it doubles as décor and conversation starter — a little bit of weird, a little bit of wonderful. Because homes don’t always have to be perfect; they can be fun, playful, and a tiny bit spooky too. 👻✨ 
As you can see, we have been using this candle very frequently. The Samphire candle by Laboratory Perfumes has such a fresh, clean scent — it makes the home feel light, calm and a little brighter 🌿🕯️ 
The Une Forêt d’Or diffuser by Goutal Paris fills the bedroom with the softest scent — a mix of pine, orange and a little warmth that feels like curling up under a blanket in a winter cabin 🌲🍊✨. It’s calming without being heavy, and creates such a gentle, cocoon-like atmosphere for rest. Honestly, it makes the room feel like a little retreat of its own. 🛏️🕯️ 
Don’t throw away those empty candle jars! ✨ The Diptyque Baies candle holder makes such a lovely second life as a holder for little things around the home — from makeup brushes to pens to fresh blooms. A small reminder that recycling can be beautiful too 🌿🕯️
