Try: Jo Malone London Lime Basil & Mandarin Scented Candle, $65

Not everyone has come to the light side (and specifically to the candlelit side). And true, some scented candles give others a bad name with cloying, overpowering scents. But we'd be willing to be that even the most sensitive noses will be able to delight in Jo Malone London's Lime Basil & Mandarin candle. The subtle, balanced, slightly citrus scent blends notes of basil and white thyme and refreshes any room without drawing too much attention to itself.
