Best Scented Candles in India 2024: Scented candles are a great way to create a soothing, warm, and welcoming atmosphere in your space. They can be used at home, in the office, or any place of your choice. They carry the ability to calm, uplift, and refresh your mind and body.
The most common type of scented candle is a soy wax candle. These are more environmentally friendly than regular paraffin wax candles (that are mostly sold by Miniso) because they do not emit toxic fumes when burning and they also burn for longer periods of time. One of the best-known benefits of soy wax candles is that they are eco-friendly. They release less soot than other candle types. This makes them ideal for those who want to indulge in an experience of eco-friendly scented candles.
What Are Scented Candles & Why Should You Use Them?
Scents are an important part of the human experience. They can help us relax, feel more energized, and even improve our mood. There are various ways to get these aromatic experiences at our homes, essential oil diffusers or incense sticks for example! But one of the most popular methods is through soothing scented candles.
There are two types of candles that you can find in the markets these days: unscented and scented. Unscented candles do not have any fragrance or scent added to them and they typically come in a variety of colours (such as white or black) and shapes. Scented candles, on the other hand, have a scent added to them which usually comes from essential oils or artificial fragrances that are mixed in with the wax before the wax is poured into a candle container.
Scented candles are a great way to create an atmosphere that is relaxing and calming. They can immensely help people with depression and anxiety by providing a sense of comfort, safety, relief, and peace. Some studies show that aromatherapy has been proven to be effective in reducing depression symptoms, that’s why these aromatic candles come in so handy whenever you are feeling down and want to uplift your spirits instantly.
Now that you know all about the usage of scented candles, let’s go through the list of best scented candles in India that you can get for your home and office.
3 Best Scented Candles in India [Editor Picked]
Top 10 Best Scented Candles in India 2024
1. DeBelle Luxe Soy Wax Tin Candles
DeBelle Cosmetics is a beauty and lifestyle brand made in India. The brand which is mostly known for its trendy and colourful nail polishes has this invigorating range of scented candles too that come in a reusable tin packaging. Their scented candles made with soy wax retail at an affordable price tag. You can either buy them individually or as a gift set. They look extremely luxe when you put them in your living room or by your bedside table because of their gold foil packaging! I have personally tried each and every fragrance from their collection, if I had to pick one scent from the entire range then it would definitely be Temple Bells. It smells divine, as if you have just entered a mystical temple where you are surrounded by mogra (Arabian Jasmine) flowers all around you!
My second favourite scent from the collection is Frankincense & Myrrh, when I first read the name I was not sure if I was going to like it but I found it very pleasing. The burn time of these soy wax scented candles made in India is amazing. They are 3-wick candles hence the wax burns evenly and the wicks don’t leave any black soot!
I would highly recommend trying out this range and specifically the temple bells scent.
2. Bella Vita Organic Scented Candles – made with Soy Wax
Bella Vita Organic is a beauty and home brand made in India. They have a wide range of products that are priced quite affordably, even their scented candles made with soy wax retail at an affordable price tag. Their Aroma Candles are available in a total of 4 fragrance options: Turkish Vanilla, Indian Cinnamon, French Lavender, and California Rose. The brand mentions that these candles have a burn time of 12 to 18 hours, and their wicks are made out of natural cotton. More burn time = more usage that you get out of the candle!
The tiny glass jar packaging of Bella Vita Aroma Candles is definitely making their scented candles worth a shot, aside from their affordable price point. Out of their 4 scented candle fragrances available in India, I am feeling most attracted to the Indian Cinnamon fragrance since I like spicy scents. I would love to try it in the colder months.
3. EKAM Scented Candles
EKAM is a quite popular scented candles brand in India with a variety of scented candles in different packaging jars and price ranges. I got to know about this brand while scrolling through Facebook one day and I saw their lampshade-shaped candle jars that looked absolutely adorable. Their 3-wick candles are a bit pricier, but the other collections seem affordable. The brand should experiment more with its packaging to bring luxurious vibes to it with an Indian touch.
4. Aromahpure Scented Candles with 55 hours burn time
What if I told you that you can get a duo of pure soy wax candles under ₹300 – that too with a burn time with 55 hours?
I am talking about this duo of Aromahpure Scented Candles in Sweet Cinnamon and Sugar Cookies fragrances. They are made in India, handcrafted, and have a delicious vanilla-sugary fragrance that would make your home smell like a bakery! Right now, they have 10 fragrance combo options available that you can choose from depending on your liking! The wicks of Aromahpure candles are made with twisted fabrics that makes them burn evenly for a longer duration – 55 hours as claimed by the brand.
You would definitely not want to miss out on trying these affordable fragrances for home in India!
5. Em5 Scented Candles
Em5™️ is another new brand in the home and lifestyle segment with premium black jar scented candles made up of soy wax. The brand has 4 fragrances in its collection that you can buy individually or as a combo. The scents are: Morning Dew, Apricot Apple, White Tea & Pear, Cinnamon Vanilla.
Its black packaging is enough for me to fall in love with these candles! The price point is also quite affordable and within the same range as most of the brands I have listed here. The brand also has body fragrances, fragrance creme, and beard balms with scents.

6. Yankee Scented Candles
Yankee Candles is a scented candle brand famous in the USA, especially for its holiday collections. Their candles are now available in India through Amazon, Myntra, and Nykaa. Just like Bath & Body works candles, these are also exorbitantly priced, but they come in large jars – offering you more burn time, hence – the best bang for your buck.
I would have still preferred their large jar candles to have 3-wicks instead of just 1 wick because it can cause candle tunneling, and these large candles are supposed to last you long! If the candle tunneling happens, your candle may go to waste (don’t worry, there are ways to rescue it though!).
7. Song of India Scented Candles
Song of India is such a beautiful name for a home brand, isn’t it? I like their set of 3 mini candles with English Lavender, Ocean Breeze, and Mountain Rose scented candle fragrances. They come in a glass jar with a cute lid. The candles are made with soy wax and have a single wick. This set can also be a perfect gift for a housewarming or anniversary since the packaging is so affordable.
8. Divine Senses Scented Candles
Divine Senses Scented Candles are available on Amazon India. Other than their Vanilla & Honey beeswax candle, all of their scented candles have a very plain, normal packaging design. If you want to try out all of their fragrances without spending a hefty amount, I would suggest you go for their pack of 6 mini jars available under Rs.300/-.
9. Veedaa Soy Scented Candles
Veedaa is also an Indian brand with tons of fragrances in their soy wax scented candles range which is available online in India. Packaging-wise, they look beautiful, but the price difference is crazy. If you are looking for affordable candles, Veedaa’s candles are not for you. But if you don’t mind paying a little extra for the kind of fragrance that you are looking for, then you can check out Veedaa soy wax scented candles for your home.
10. Hosley Scented Candles
Aside from regular, unscented candles, candle holders, and pillar candles, Hosley has a range of scented candles in India in so many options to choose from. I liked their silver-toned packaging scented candles, however, they have not mentioned what kind of fragrances they impart. You may want to take a look at their mini 2-wick candles, available in multiple fragrances.
11. ThinkArtDecor Soy Wax Scented Candles For Home in 7 Scents
While this brand name is quite new to me, I noticed that it has a ton of positive ratings on Amazon which should be a given – seeing their range of 7 unique scents. If I had to pick one scent from their collection it would definitely be the Mysore Sandalwood variant, it would probably make anyone reminiscence the classic Mysore Sandal bath soaps that almost everyone in India has found memories of.
Bonus: The Philotree Scented Candles Pure Soy Wax in Glass Jar & Cork Lid
I recently spotted the Philotree scented candles on Amazon India and I couldn’t help but add them to my list of best scented candles in India. These candles have truly earned them a spot here with their minimalistic packaging and invigorating range of fragrances to choose from. The brand promises 40 hours of burn time with these scented candles which seems great for the price and weight of the candles. You can select from three fragrances: Bora Bora, Himalayan Passionfruit, and Himalayan Mist. My pick would obviously be the Himalayan Mist fragrance for inviting the soothing scents of the Himalayas to my home!
