The holiday season always brings a certain kind of magic — twinkling lights, cozy nights in and that irresistible feeling that everything slows down just enough for you to savor it. At Maddison Avenue Candle Company, we love the way the store and warehouse fills when we are pouring Christmas candles. The air fills with warm spices, evergreen woods and soft winter musks fill the air as we pour each hand-crafted candle with care.
Every year, three scents rise above the rest as customer favorites. These are the fragrances people buy for themselves, gift to everyone they know and burn down to the very end.
Here are the official Top 3 Best-Selling Christmas Scents of the season — and why they’re so loved.
