Candles really have to power to change the mood of a space, and nobody knows this better than our mums. From prepping for a dinner party, to running baths, to a post-clean zhuzh — there’s always a candle in sight (and smell).
It might feel like a typical Mother’s Day gift, but when has your mum ever turned her nose up at a delicious-smelling candle? I know mine never has. And, if you get her one that’s made locally and with real products and essential oils — there’s even more to love
Below, we’ve rounded up our favourite candle brands in Australia, just time for Mother’s Day.
Dusk
Dusk
Dusk’s soy candles are made out of premium soy wax, blended with high quality fragrant oils and finished lead-free cotton wicks for a cool, clean burn from start to finish.
This Burnt Sugar & Bergamot 3 Wick Soy Scented Candle ($44.99) from Dusk candles soy range is truly divine. Think sugary vanilla praline melts into soft pools of chocolate, then rounded out with bergamont. Delish! Almost good enough to eat!
