Make your home smell like a luxury hotel
For someone who spends their professional life immersed in beauty, I have developed a particular obsession: the art of scent through candles. With over ten years of experience navigating the world of luxury fragrance, I’ve learned a fundamental truth about home décor: you truly do get what you pay for when it comes to candles. Spending a little more on a quality candle often translates into an amazing scent throw, a beautiful, even burn, and a vessel you actually want to keep and display.
However, the high cost of truly luxury candles—often climbing well over £60—means finding that perfect balance is a challenge. I constantly hunt for scents that deliver an impressive experience without making my bank account weep. This search led me to a brand that has consistently ticked every box: Beauty Pie.
My initial foray into their collection, like their Clean House candle, was a delightful experience. But when I discovered their collaboration with interiors expert Reena Simon, my expectations soared. This partnership combined sensory luxury with thoughtful design, and the results have far exceeded them.
The collaboration features three exquisite scented candles, each housed in a luxurious ceramic vessel. At a remarkably accessible price point of £39 for Beauty Pie members, these 350g, three-wick candles offer an experience that rivals candles three times their price tag. Within minutes of lighting them, my living space is filled with rich, sophisticated aromas, setting an immediate mood that feels truly opulent.
Reena Simon has thoughtfully designed each scent to mark a specific moment of the day, allowing the candles to serve as mood setters, from the invigorating start of dawn to the cozy embrace of dusk. These are not just scents; they are curated atmospheric experiences.
One collection captures the fresh, energetic feeling of a sunlit morning. Rêves d’Èze, with its notes of mint, eucalyptus, lemon, tea leaves, and basil, smells like an unhurried moment where sunlight streams through the windows and the air is gently invigorated. It is the perfect companion for working from home or sipping your morning tea.
Next, the mood shifts to warm, autumnal comfort with Time Well Spent. This candle blends cardamom, clove leaf, plum, and warm woods, creating an atmosphere that is warm, woody, and subtly spicy. It instantly transforms the space into a cosy haven, perfectly capturing the feeling of golden hour as the afternoon light shifts.
For those seeking pure, enveloping comfort, Midnight Cashmere steps in. Inspired by the feeling of a roaring fire and soft blankets, this candle features notes of smoke, cashmere, vanilla, and rich sandalwood. It delivers the ultimate winter candle experience, perfectly capturing the serene, deeply cosy feeling of settling in for a tranquil evening.
By focusing on formulas that deliver tangible results, whether in beauty or home décor, Beauty Pie proves that luxury and accessibility can coexist beautifully. These scented creations offer more than just fragrance; they offer an elevated way to invite beauty and comfort into every corner of your home.
