From smoky sandalwood to oceanic notes and forest greens, these luxe candles do more than mask odors — they transform your bathroom into a sanctuary.
Nothing says relax and unwind like a bathroom candle. The soft amber glow of the flame combined with a fragrant aroma is more than enough to ease the mind and let the stresses of the day fall to the wayside. Candles are a staple for infusing the home with varying scents. So, it makes sense to keep one in the bathroom where unpleasant smells can fester. But choosing the best bathroom candle isn’t just about dispelling aromas. Bathrooms and powder rooms can become a place of peace with the right scent profile.

Instead of searching for a scent that smells clean and chemical, finding a stylish candle that enhances the aroma and ambiance of the space can go a long way. Between the lighting and fragrance, it can transform your bathroom into something serene and peaceful. Calming accords of fresh wood and greenery can help create a soothing environment, while marine scents can evoke a beach-like feel. Shopping for bathroom candles doesn’t have to be a chore. If you’re ready to give your bathroom an elevated touch, consider the list of candles below a good place to start.
Made in collaboration with skincare brand Tata Harper, Nette's Into the Forest Candle is inspired by the Japanese art of forest bathing. The aroma is created with rich forest scents, like cypress, pine, fir balsam needle, and cedarwood, which are blended with crisp notes of fresh herbs and ground spices. Like the art of forest bathing, it's made to calm and soothe the mind while instilling a sense of peace.
This candle opens with sweet notes of pears spiced with cardamom. But the overall fragrance is more earthy than baked and sweet, thanks to a heady mix of hinoki, dry cedarwood, oakmoss, and smoked amber. The unexpected combination creates a scent that's inviting, calm, well-balanced, and perfect for small spaces.
There's a reason this scent has remained a classic. The rich woody scent is packed with fresh notes—think fine sawdust and layers of freshly shaved wood—that work well to offset the sultry notes of perfume and spice. The result is a fragrance that's as grounding as it is sultry.
This candle by Votivo really is the whole package. The tortoise-printed vessel adds a luxe touch to any room, while the candle inside delivers the clean scent of waves splashing against the beach. It's elegant from every angle and infuses the room with a fresh scent that lingers long after lighting.
If your bathroom style hinges on coastal charm, this candle will fit right in. Inside the oversized clam shell you'll find a hand-poured 5-wick candle with a delicate marine accord. The aroma is composed of seaside notes, including sea salt, seagrass, and driftwood. However, with subtle notes of amber and vetiver, it's balanced and soothing.
