Our Los Angeles-Inspired Fragrances
Seasonal Holiday Fragrances
The holidays evoke nostalgia and tradition, and sensory memories are at an all-time high. This holiday season, the fragrance trend is
"gourmand" fragrances - sweet dessert-like scents which signal feelings of joy and comfort - the kind of immediate pleasure that biting into a delicious cookie or tasting a spoonful of vanilla frosting can bring. At Custom Candles L.A., we lean into those memories with our unique holiday scents that we create each year for our custom candles.
Fancy Holiday Cookie
This fall season has inspired us to create a new fragrance that will provide warmth and comfort. Fancy Holiday Cookie is the perfect balance of nostalgic fall spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, paired with the soft and warm notes of vanilla bean and browned butter.
Home Again Vanilla
As winter approaches, we've curated this limited edition fragrance just for the holidays that will fill the room with the most delicious vanilla scent. Home Again Vanilla is a sweet and soft pure vanilla fragrance that is reminiscent of Grandma's homemade vanilla frosting.
These comforting and delectable holiday fragrances are only available for a limited time on bulk branded candles and design-your-own candles.
