Harlem Candle Co.'s Langston Luxury Candle ($48)
Creating a relaxing space to come home to can be a crucial part of nourishing your mental well-being. And scented candles can be a big part of that. In fact, a Cleveland Clinic and Parade survey of over 2,000 Americans found that 48 percent of respondents felt an improvement in mental health after lighting a candle.
This Langston Hughes-inspired candle from Harlem Candle Co. is a favorite of mine, evoking the creative vision of the Harlem Renaissance legend. Top notes of nutmeg, clove, and leather offer up a bold and alluring scent, while base notes of vanilla and amber feel like a warm hug. This candle will fill your whole house with calm.
