Black Friday: The Scented Candles On Our Wishlist This Year

From picking the most flattering lipstick shade to hitting the right perfume notes, when it comes to Christmas gifting we all just want to get it right. And while Black Friday sales are renowned for their opportune impulse buys and perfectly timed gift-set discounts, the thought of circling busy shops to find personable presents (at a generously discounted cost) can be rightfully off-putting.

Luckily, this year's Black Friday beauty sales are likely to be bursting with an array of perfect picks, all with a chunky percentage off the price tag. And when it comes to fail-safe gifting, luxury candles are undeniably gold tier. Whether it's an exceptionally chic peachy Tom Ford tumbler or subtle aromas from Le Labo, candles are homely, aesthetically pleasing and the ultimate indulgence.

Based on last year - when you could scour some of the most luxe and indulgent candles for less - we're expecting big things for Black Friday 2024. Some of the biggest beauty retailers are already offering huge savings, including Liberty, Lookfantastic and Sephora, so you can enjoy perusing for a bargain in our shopping guide below.

There's still a handful of deals yet to drop, and top of our wishlist? Diptyque's iconic L'Eau Papier, which recently launched with a new candle iteration, and of course, we will always worship at the altar of any Jo Malone or Bella Freud candle. So, here's hoping we can scoop them up at a discount next week.

Not only is a luxe candle the ideal gift for that tricky person on your present list, it's also a lovely way to reward yourself as we enter hibernation season.

When is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday 2024 will kick off on Friday 29 November, but we're already seeing a whole host of amazing deals drop early. In fact, beauty brands often extend their offers throughout the entire week of Black Friday, and on to Cyber Monday (on 2nd December), often the most exciting day to bag a luxury beauty steal for less.

Will there be cyber Monday candle deals?

As often Black Friday spans almost a week, you can expect great deals on luxury candles running from today until Cyber Monday, however, retailer and brands often have different discounts depending on the day – meaning if there's a Diptyque candle you've got your eye on, don't wait as you might miss out on a saving.
