What makes a good candle? For some it’s cinnamon-y warmth; for others, citrusy freshness that has your home smelling like a spring meadow. For me, it’s anything strong enough to mask the small of wet dog thanks to my pugs.
Now, according to interiors influencers, there’s another essential feature of a good smelly: alcohol. The hashtag #CocktailCandles on TikTok has racked up thousands of posts, with people showing off products inspired by everything from Espresso Martinis to Negronis.
And while previously cocktail candles have been pretty hard to get hold of (think brands like Paddywax’s, stocked exclusively in Selfridges), everyone’s favourite supermarket has now jumped in to fill the void. Enter M&S new cocktail candle range, inspired by none-other than the store’s iconic tinnies pretty much every Brit has enjoyed slugging on a train.
M&S has started with a limited run of four cocktail-inspired products: Mojito; Pink Passion Star Martini; Gin & Tonic; and Pina Colada. Not only do they smell amazing – they come in the cutest tins inspired by their alcohol counterpart, topped with a lid complete with a fake pully. It’s equally kitsch and fabulous.
The M&S candle line is available to buy now, with all products priced at £10. Keep scrolling to find your favourite (and pick up some tinnies to drink while you light it, obvs).
