Whether it’s the smell of gingerbread, Christmas trees or cinnamon, there’s a particular scent that takes each one of us back to the festive season as a kid.
The excitement, the anticipation, the pure joy of that day and everything around it.

Available for a limited time only, the three scents, Christmas Pine, Gingerbread Wonderland and Festive Spice are sure to be a huge hit with shoppers who are already obsessed with the floral, fruity and woody range of premium candles.
“Even un-lit, I find the scent really lifts me,” said one reviewer about the Champagne Sunset candle.
“Even when I’m in a rush I’ll pick it up and take a moment to smell it.”
“Le Calme makes me feel like I’m in a day spa,” said another, while a third praised the candle she’d bought for making her “house smell like holidays.”
The Christmas range also includes beautifully handcrafted, sculptural wax candles, perfect for prime position in the home.
Christmas trees, snowflakes and even a snowman are among the designs and they are still handmade with the natural soy wax used in the glass-housed candles.
The Caitlin Louise Collection was the brainchild of a busy mum, Amy, who saw the signs of burnout in women everywhere.
Despite knowing the solution was “me time”, she also recognised that there is often no real time for “me time.”
Her candle making started as a shared creative outlet with her two daughters (whose middle names are Caitlin and Louise) and it quickly turned into a love for scent and one she realised she could share with others to help them pause and reset.
“Caitlin Louise Collection is more than a candle studio,” she said.
“It’s a movement where women can feel it’s ok to take care of yourself. To indulge yourself. Free of guilt, judgement or justification.”
Best sellers now include the Le Calme candle which is a mix of citrus, lavender and ylang ylang and also the Lime in Paradise, with scents of lime, coconut and elderflower.
“Simply gorgeous!” said one five star reviewer.
“It smells incredible and the packaging is divine,” said another.
Caitlin Louise Collection uses eco-friendly packaging for all its orders and $1 from every order is donated to worthy causes through a partnership with i=change.
It means a festive candle for yourself or as a gift for Christmas can lift your spirits as well as helping others. To purchase one of the limited edition Christmas candles, head here.
