Until Mother Nature answers our plea for a swift start to springtime, we’ll need to take seasonal matters into our own hands and homes. Our solution to combatting the lingering cold outside? Lighting up bright-smelling candles inside that remind us of the more radiant weather to come.

We’ve curated a collection of the best spring-scented wicks around, each with a unique power to transport us to our most ideal warm day — from fresh-air picnics in the park to smoky campfires in the woods, mornings among dew-covered honeysuckles, salt and sunscreen-caked beach days, and vanilla-bean ice cream afternoons. Join us in a sunshine seance by scrolling on to shop one (or all) of the special spring-occasion candles ahead.
