Although scented candles are highly personal, I’ve come across a few that have been met with universal appeal. For anyone that loves an unfussy, warm fragrance void of sweet or floral undertones, the below are winners. Their scent is a little more woodsy, earthy and natural and won’t overpower a room. I like to keep several on hand for last-minute gifts.

I’m not a fragrance fan at all, but love all of Jenni Kayne’s candles, particularly the Ash and the Cedar. Natural and outdoorsy.

They are two of the best. I burned JK Ash all season long last year.
