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.
Peppermint Grove
Peppermint Grove
Australian fragrance house, Peppermint Grove, have launched a delish Mother’s Day collection, called In Bloom.
We especially love the In Bloom Soy Candle ($44.95).
It smells like melon and crushed lemon zest, cedarwood, oud and sandalwood.
Plus, it looks beautiful. Sitting in a limited edition pearlescent glass vessel and highly-polished gold lid, it’s part home decor, part delish-smelling candle.
You can shop the entire In Bloom Mother’s Day collection here.
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!
You can’t ever go wrong with Dusk candles.
THE ICONIC
Palm Beach Collection
Palm Beach Collection’s soy candles are delicious, especially this Clove & Sandalwood 420g Scented Soy Candle ($42.95) coming into winter.
Palm Beach Collection candles are Australian-made, last for up to 80 hours and use 100% cotton wicks.
Adore Beauty
Glasshouse
You can’t go wrong with a Glasshouse candle. Their A Tahaa Affair Candle ($49.95) is a classic, with a vanilla caramel scent.
THE ICONIC
Scent Home Australia
Scent Home Australia use pure essential oils to make their candles.
This Santal 66 candle ($60), is made up of sandalwood, Virginia cedar, cardamom, violet, papyrus, leather, amber and iris. The candle itself is natural soy wax.
Poured and packaged in Melbourne, Scent Home Australia’s range of candles, oils and diffusers are some of the most affordable in the local sustainable market.
THE ICONIC
The Commonfolk Collective
If you want to go for something a little more personalised, this “Mum” Candle ($34.95) from The Commonfolk Collective’s Dictionary Meaning Candle range, has just the right about of sentimentality.
Every candle from The Commonfolk Collective is hand poured on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, using essential oils mixed with creamy pure soy and coconut wax.
