A candle, when gifted properly, can be a really special present. Scent is such a powerful sense – it can invoke deep memories and transport us to other times and places. But, gifting a scent can also be pretty risky; scent is personal, and it can be hard to know what your recipient will like.
Luckily, we’ve consulted with the stars to source candles that are perfectly aligned with all of your lovers and friends. We adore these picks, in addition to
Homesick’s entire library of candles that are crafted to smell like specific places and feelings. Below, shop our picks for each sign of the zodiac – and use code TQE15 to secure 15% off!
