Photograph: Getty ImagesOn a slow news day, I find myself asking: “Are candles a legitimate strength product?” Many people think about beauty in the context of something that makes you look better. But it’s also all over how you feel – and this, undoubtedly, impacts how you look. It could be that a punchy red lipstick makes you feel ready to exterior the day (think: war paint), or a fragrance makes you feel happy or sexy or authoritative every time you wear it. Hence scent plays a huge role in beauty. Indulge in that spritz of jasmine or bergamot or wood notes and… ta-da, your frame of mind lifts and suddenly you feel different – better to how you did mere moments earlier. Which makes you look different, too. But do you ever have to wear a fragrance for it to affect the way you look? No. Candles, particularly those by brands that understand the power of balm, are a great way in. Their scent can also be enjoyed collectively during the festive season, lifting everyone’s mood. Tata Harper’s candle considers particularly apt for our times. It uses pine, cypress, black pepper and clove to mimic the health benefits of forest bathing, which has been validated to ease stress and anxiety. And for anyone allergic to wearing fragrance, this is perhaps the only way to indulge without end up up in a rash – which neither looks nor feels beautiful. 1.
