Houzz Advent Calendar: December 10th - Win a candle by SKANDINAVISK!

Tom Flanagan

Is there anything cosier and more relaxing than having a candle burning? The Danes had it right with their concept of hygge, which is why for the 10th window of our Advent Calendar, we've partnered with British/Scandinavian brand S K A N D I N A V I S K who are giving away an XL candle in their most wintry scent Koto!

A scent that's all kinds of winter woody goodness, this will have you dreaming of the rugged Scandinavian landscape! All you need to do to enter is vote and comment, telling us your favourite kind of candle scent. If it's something woody like pine or spicy like cinnamon, we'd love to hear. This competition will run until December 24th.

    At the moment I'm filling my house with the scent of apple pie, for Christmas. It's making me very hungry! x

    Has to be 'fresh' at the moment, we're still trying to dry out our new house after it lying empty for over two years! Merry & cosy Xmas Houzzmates!

    This time of year the scent has to be warm, spicy and inviting.

    Perfume is so evocative - I use many different high quality scented candles depending on my mood and time of year. Like perfume itself, candles need to be subtle to invoke and gentle awareness.

    I just never get passed vanilla. Why is that? Tropical, fresh, sweet and somehow mysterious.

    Candles are great for creating homeliness and a feeling of warmth, especially at Christmas time!!

    I love woody musky smells...there is a candle by woodwick that is called vintage leather...it is SO perfect! It smells almost like a male perfume...but with enough woodiness to make it a house kinda smell! Mind you...I like a lot of smells for candles...berries are nice...and cinnamon...so long as they're not too strong..

    I personally prefer sweet or fresh scents but it would depend on my mood and the activity I am doing. Reading = sweet cosy scent

    Clean scents like fresh linen in the summer, spicy scents in the winter (especially 'Winter' by the White Company). They're popular for a reason! :)

  • Radhika Sethia

    Like flowery smells! White Jasmine by Jo Malone is a lovely one

    I like walking into my flat with a smell of my washing. So fresh it would have to be.

    Woody and musky - there's an amazing scent called Library, somehow manages to smell like leather, old books and mahogany.

  • Iona

    I like cinnamon, earthy scents in the winter and verbena, light and citrusy in the summer months.

    I love a fruity scented candle - coconut, clementine and berries (not mixed together!), and a hint of vanilla is always lovely too.

  • Liv Moore

    I always always try and break out from my boring vanilla mould but always go crawling back! It just makes everything smell like pudding and that can only be a good thing.

    I love Yankee Candle's 'wedding day' - such a fresh, light scent that lingers for days and makes my house smell wonderful!

    My fav one at the moment is Proseco by Volupsa I bought it in NYC and it's nearly as good as drinking it but it does last longer.

    Ginger. Warm and toasty and strangely reminiscent of biscuits.

    I love to have candles lit in the evening low lighting and music playing softly, very romantic and relaxing, I really love the scent of bergamot and choose it far more than any other.

  • modernistlover

    I am naturally drawn to woody scents. Like the last poster, I love bergamot and fragrances like Dsquared's He/Shewood

  • marianne_hayton

    It has to be orange and ginger in winter .fresh linen in spring, sea breeze in summer and in autem I allways treat myself to the latest perfumed candle ,it is often the most expensive but by the time October comes round .I figure I am worth it.
