One fact about me that's gotten more obvious throughout my career as a beauty editor is that I have a deep appreciation for brands that possess the ability to pump out quality product after quality product without fail. That's why I've been a longtime fan of the extensive collection of home, bath, and body scents offered by Glasshouse Fragrances, a brand founded in New York by Nicole Eckels. After venturing to Sydney, Australia in search of unique and enchanting scents, Eckels began to focus on creating candles. Her goal? Bringing fine fragrances to the masses in partnership with the world’s greatest perfumers.

Since 2005, the Glasshouse Fragrance brand has expanded to include home and car fragrances to eau de parfum as well as bath and body (and it just so happens they can all be mixed and matched). The brand's candles, in particular, have played a huge role in transforming my New York City–size studio apartment into a home over the past few months; earning countless compliments from visiting family and friends. Below, I'm sharing the top 10 candles that have earned me plenty of questions beginning with, "What smells so good in here?"
