With the new year comes a desire to refresh our spaces, from our bedrooms to our living rooms to our at-home office.

"Imagine going out for date night to a cozy jazz club [on] a cold winter night," Chikumbu says. "This scent is warm from the vanilla and dark chocolate but also interesting because of the plum blossom and incense."
This is "the perfect blend of creamy sandalwood, rich frankincense and deep leather. The definition of a cozy night."
"The combination of vanilla, rose and oud is exquisite and makes for an elegant scent that's perfect for a welcoming and toasty cocktail party with friends during the wintertime," Chikumbu says.
"The combination of amber, sandalwood and musk brings back the memories of sweet sunsets and decadent florals. This is a great scent for the cold winter days when you want the feeling of warmth and joy."
"One of the most elevated vanilla candles. This is like having vanilla ice cream while sitting by the firepit outside," Chikumbu explains. "Smoky and sweet and always a treat."
"For a more sultry and dreamy scent, this is the candle you need. It has all the must-have elements of a comforting candle -- like cedarwood and cardamom -- but spices it up with dark plum and black team. Bonus: the name makes for a great conversation starter in your home."
"This candle is the winter vacation to the cabin you didn’t know you needed. Woodsy, sweet, a little smoky and a touch bit spicy. Smells like good memories with people you love."
"Just because it's cold outside, doesn't mean we can't have some joy," Chikumbu says. "This candle's amber and citrus notes are the perfect way to bring light and love into your space even if it's cold and gloomy outside."
"The winter is not only a time for warm snuggly times but also a great time to think of the upcoming spring and new adventures. This citrus-and-incense scented candle is perfect. [It's] reinvigorating and uplifting."
"The cedar, wood and vanilla are well-balanced, light and make for the perfect work-from-home candle," Chukumbu says. Plus, it isn't too overpowering.
"Understated luxury for your space. This collaboration candle has sandalwood, bergamot, musk and amber, making for the most perfect scent when people enter your home or space from the cold outside."
