Home Fragrance Is Kind of My Thing—12 I'm Snagging During Nordstrom's Black Friday Sale

Fragrance Family: Earthy woods

Key Notes: Sicilian bergamot, eucalyptus, lilac, silky cashmere, muguet, cypress, white cedar, amber, patchouli, vetiver, musk, sandalwood

Of all the classic fragrance notes associated with winter, vetiver is one of my favorites. This Apotheke candle pairs it with the silky, smooth scents of cashmere, eucalyptus, and lilac before introducing creamy sandalwood, warm amber, and white cedar to the medley. It's the perfect elegant (and sneakily sultry) scent to burn year-round but works especially well in the cooler months.

Fragrance Family: Vibrant citrus

Key Notes: Ruby red grapefruit, mandarin, bergamot, Hawaiian wedding flower, spring mimosa

To discover there's a candle from Clinique's cult '90s fragrance makes me so, well, happy! There's something undoubtedly joyful about the cheery fragrance, with well-balanced, feel-good citrus and floral notes that are fresh yet soft. Pure nostalgia.

Fragrance Family: Classic woods

Key Notes: Cedar, labdanum, juniper berry, sawdust, white musk.

If woody, smoky scents are more to your liking, you'll want to snag this Cedar Stack scent from Boy Smells. It's the closest I can get to capturing the coziness of a roaring winter hearth without relying on firewood.

Fragrance Options: Orange Flower, Lig Leaf, Mint Leaf

I love it when a candle leaves behind a chic, reusable vessel that will be useful forever. These candles come in hand-painted stoneware, which will look stunning on any coffee table, desk, or mantel, whether you're using them for fancy storage or simply cute décor.

Fragrance Family: Assorted

Key Notes: Assorted

I truly believe no one can ever have too many home fragrances at their disposal, so it's no wonder I'm obsessed with this candle set from one of my favorite candle brands. Voluspa's wax-blend candles are a must for lovers of home scents that are beyond inviting—this is the perfect opportunity to try out some of the brand's most-loved fragrances.

Fragrance Family: Earthy freshness

Key Notes: Basil, green ivy, lavender, mint leaves, tomato, mandarin, petitgrain, cedarwood, green pepper

If you loved "tomato girl summer", you'll be thrilled to know that a tomato girl holiday season is just a candle away. This gentle, new-ish scent from Malain+Goetz may only have six reviews on Nordstrom so far, but every single one of them is a 5/5 star rave.

Fragrance Family: Aromatic woods

Key Notes: Amber, juniper wood, black copal

If you're already dreaming of summer, you'll love this scent that's self-described as reminiscent of "crackling fire and crashing waves." I also love knowing a product is made locally in New York.

Fragrance Family: Aromatic woods

Key Notes: Rich oak moss, cinnamon, eucalyptus

It's no secret that we aesthetic-obsessed Who What Wear beauty editors love a home fragrance that looks as good as it smells. The Mercury Balsam & Cedar Ornament Candle features a charming combination of rich oak moss, cinnamon, and eucalyptus nestled in a mercury-glass ornament that, once lit, creates a warm glow. I'll definitely be gifting a loved one with it this year!

Fragrance Family: Fruity florals

Key Notes: Pink peonies, crisp Sicilian lemon, fresh guava, pink cotton candy, vanilla

One of the best ways I've leveled up my home fragrance game is with room sprays, which are designed to be sprayed in the air, not on your furniture! This happy, floral scent is a Nordstrom exclusive, so there's no better time to snap it up than during Nordstrom's biggest sale of the year while it's 30% off for Cyber Monday.

Fragrance: Woody-sage

Key Notes: Balsam fir, bayberry, rockrose

When it comes to reed diffusers, I'm partial to ones that can make any space feel like a spa. I've had it in my apartment for five months and can now say with confidence that this has transformed my small New York City bathroom into my wellness getaway, with calming notes to let me unwind at the end of a long day. This chic gift set with a matching candle is too good to pass up.

Fragrance Family: Aquatic citrus

Key Notes: Grapefruit, lemon, tropical fruits, green fruits, mint, green florals, watery nuances, peach, red berry, musk

Now, I know I said this edit was dedicated to my favorite fragrances that are perfect to gift for the holiday season, but it wouldn't be fair to skip over the ones that get me excited for warmer days ahead while they're on sale. This diffuser is designed to fill any space with a long-lasting scent featuring notes of sea salt, black pepper, and ripe grapefruit balanced by dewdrop accords and tarragon.

Did you know there are high-tech diffusers that you can place anywhere in your home that need a fragrance pick-me-up? The UltraSonic Diffuser uses ultrasonic vibrations that atomize water and fragrance oil to release fragrance without heat. This in turn maintains the integrity of the fragrance oil. What I love the most about this one is that it can be on for over three hours and has an automatic safety shutoff. While this one isn't discounted, it does come with a chic gift with purchase—a Foraged Wildberry tin candle (0.9 oz.) with a $75 Voluspa purchase when shopping online.
