Tis’ the Season To Burn a #CozyAF Christmas Candle

  • By Bryan Goh

For the month of December and January 2021, you might notice that we have changed the way we are presenting things on our site. While we could have taken the easy way out and presented generic festive stories with generic festive ideas — top 10 shoes to party in, the best log cakes that are available for delivery and festive hampers to gift friends and family — at Men’s Folio, we believe in ideas that are as functional as they are frivolous, as smart as they are easy to wing and as enriching to you as they will be to the people around you. In short, we want to be as useful as possible because #aintnobodygottime.

Hence, we’ll be presenting 60 very useful ideas for the festive season and into the 365 days to come for the next 60 days. Here is idea 21: burning a #CozyAF Christmas Candle. 

Tis’ the season for burning a lot of wax (aka a Christmas candle) but instead of the generic ones — spicy, burning logs or reminiscent of Gingy from Shrek — here, some that conjures up a cozy feeling even if one lights it up in a dimly lit office cubicle.

Jo Malone London Roasted Chestnut
The classic nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves provide a smoky warmth to this Christmas candle — sweetened with the addition of soft caramel.

Diptyque Floral Majesty/Escentials
Not a generic festive candle — the notes of warm spice and fiery cinnamon is tempered with the sweetness of rare roses.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Mon Beau Sapin/Escentials
Translating into “O Christmas Tree”, this Christmas candle smells entirely of the slightly resinous and mossy aroma of balsam fir.
