1. A trio of Otherland candles with scents inspired by the '90s. I don't know how they figured out what the essence of low-waisted bellbottom jeans smells like, but they did it.
I have smelled all three of these candles and can confirm the scents really remind you of the '90s! Think: wandering around the mall, chewing Hubba Bubba, visting Bath & Body Works, running out of minutes on your phone plan, rhinestones.
Get one from Otherland for $36 (or all three for $89).
2. A morning refresh or evening unwind candle for early birds and night owls, respectively.
Get the morning refresh and evening unwind candles from Homesick for $34.95.
3. The Gardener scent from Boy Smells, which smells like a fresh haul from the herb garden you don't have. Who needs a tomato patch when your candle smells this good?
It smells like tomato, petitgrain, white tea, and honeysuckle.
Get it from Boy Smells for $32.
4. A Homesick candle that smells like your favorite place. It'll be especially nice when you find yourself somewhere far from that good place.
Each candle smells like things from that state. So Delaware, aka the first and best (JK) state, smells like strawberries and oranges, with a watery midnote, and a base note of moss, vanilla, and musk. After spending a lot of time in Delaware in college, I can confirm that these scents check out!
Get a candle in one of the 50 states from Homesick for $29.95.
5. A zodiac candle with a calming scent inspired by your sign, plus a surprise stone inside so you won't feel bad about using the whole thing up.
Get it from ArabellaCrystals on Etsy for $13.99+ (available in two sizes and all the zodiac signs).
6. A P.F. Candle Co option that smells like sweet grapefruit (plus yuzu and lemon) to make your space feel summery and fresh.
Get it from P.F. Candle Co. for $20.
7. A candle that smells like a special feeling or memory, like grandma's kitchen, a birthday party, or love.
Get the grandma's kitchen, birthday party, or love candles from Homesick for $29.95.
8. A candle that smells like one of your favorite fruit trees. Personally, I've always been a peach person — how about you?
Get it from NerdieNiftiesEU on Etsy for $7.28 (available in six fruits).
9. A book lover's candle that smells like aged paper and dusty shelves, so your nose can get its fill of old book smell.
Get it from Frostbeard on Etsy for $19.75.
10. A bourbon and sandalwood candle that smells like how I would guess the color amber would if it had a scent.
Get it from BigWhiteYeti on Etsy for $18.
11. A mint and rhubarb option that'll smell like a refreshing summer drink.
12. A handmade candle smelling of clementine and honey. Just don't be surprised when you get a call from Winnie the Pooh asking where you got that candle.
Get it from World Market for $3.99+ (available in two sizes).
14. A jar of the cult-favorite Capri Blue Volcano that smells just like an Anthropologie store, so you can bring the feeling of window shopping into your own home.
Get it from Anthropologie for $12.
15. A botanical candle with a fresh, natural scent that'll make you feel like you're strolling through a field.
The green leaf option smells like evergreen and sandalwood while the orange one smells like yuzu and white tea. Once finished, the tea candle can be removed and replaced.
Get it from Anthropologie for $42 (available in two scents).
