People tend to get pretty excited when a new clothing collection launches, when a makeup brand debuts a product, and even when an anticipated fragrance hits the market. While candles may not garner as much fervor or buzz as some of these other categories, we'd argue that it's still a pretty noteworthy event. From yummy seasonal candles of the gourmand variety, to scents that are well on their way to becoming cult classic favorites, we're showcasing some of the best new candle launches right here.
Otherland might just be the cutest new brand of the moment, what with its cheeky marketing (and stunning packaging). We're especially digging the Stonefruit candle, which features notes of sweet brown sugar, fuzzy peach skin, and fruity beach plum. It's perfect for the warm-weather lover who wants to keep that vibe going — even if it's in the smallest way — deep into the year.
Pro tip: If you can't decide which candle from the collection is best for you, the brand offers a discounted three-pack.
Just in time for the seasonal change, Woodwick — known for its patented flickering wooden wick that crackles as it burns — has added three new candles to its autumn collection. Among them are classics such as Autumn Harvest and Rosewood, but we're especially intrigued by Humidor, which blends tobacco leaves with suede and — surprise — peach blossoms.
You knew that dragon fruit was a trendy ingredient in smoothies and fruit bowls, but now it's coming for you in candle form, thanks to Nest's latest launch. The new scented candle features notes of juicy pink hibiscus and zesty mandarin orange for a fresh and invigorating home fragrance. We love that it's all wrapped up in the most festive glass vessel (it's giving us major '70s vibes).
True to the well-loved TokyoMilk aesthetic, it's the design that's going to enamor you right off the bat with this new candle. Don't worry, though: The content matches the cover. Mystic's fragrance notes include hinoki (an Asian cypress), cedar leaf, balsam, and palo santo. The overall effect is earthy, organic, fresh, and vibrant.
