If You Want Your Home to Smell Like an Expensive Hotel, This £39 Candle Is the Answer

I'm a beauty editor who has a particular infatuation with candles. With over a decade of experience burning the most expensive luxury candles all the way through to more affordable vessels for my job, I can confidently say that, generally speaking, you do get what you pay for with candles. You see, I've found that spending a little bit more on candles almost guarantees you an amazing throw that fills your home with scent, with a beautiful, even burn—and more often than not, a beautiful vessel that you'll want to keep and re-use again.

However, with many luxury candles costing upwards of £60, I'm often reluctant to recommend—and burn—them. So, I've been on the hunt for candles that tick all of the boxes: incredible scents, impressive throw, luxury vessels that I want to display in my home, and something that won't make my bank account wince too much. And one brand that has always ticked that box is Beauty Pie.

I've long been a fan of its candles (I implore you to try Clean House (£20), which smells like freshly laundered bed linen), and when I saw it had collaborated with interiors expert Reena Simon, I already had high expectations. But after trying it myself, I can say that they have exceeded them. Scroll on for what you need to know about the collaboration.

Beauty Pie x Reena Simon

Beauty Pie has collaborated with Reena Simon, interiors expert, author and founder of The Intentional Home, on three luxury scented candles, each housed in a luxurious ceramic vessel. At £39 for Beauty Pie members, these 350g, three-wick candles strike a balance of feeling luxurious without burning too big a hole in your wallet. But honestly? These smell far more expensive than their price tag. Within minutes of lighting, my living room is brimming with the scent, rivalling candles I've tried that are three times the price. And once I've finished the candle, I plan on keeping the stylish vessel on display and reusing it to store trinkets.

Reena Simon has designed each one to mark a specific moment of the day, from dawn through to dusk, to serve in creating the mood you need, whether you want to feel uplifted in the morning or cocooned with cosiness come evening, and each one is as stunning as the next.
