Good Black Friday candle sales are easy to come by—it’s a fun fact of life come holiday time. There are even some early deals to shop right now, whether you’re looking for subtle mood lighting or something that will fill your entire space with a seasonal scent. No matter which retailer holds your candle loyalty—which, yes, is totally a thing—you’ve got plenty of options. This year, we found an abundance of Black Friday deals that range from your classic wax melts, tea lights, votive candles, candle refills, gift sets, diffusers, single-wick candles, candle holders, large jar candles, and 3-wick candles, to some unexpected room sprays, shower gel, lotion, and hand soaps.
From fall fragrances like apple cider and more neutral scents like green tea to jolts of freshness like grapefruit, a single scented candle can really change the vibe of your home. So ditch the gift card, because a carefully chosen candle can make a fantastic holiday gift for just about anyone on your list. And don’t forget to treat yourself to something special as well—when it comes to choosing the home fragrance you want to go all in on… you’re going to have to go with your gut on that one (or better yet, your nose).
Take a break from the holiday sale ads and step away from your Amazon checkout page (for now)—ahead, you’ll find our picks for the early Black Friday candle sales we’re shopping.

There’s no shortage of votives in SSENSE’s sale at the moment. This one from one of our favorite brands, Frama, is currently 40% off and there is more where that came from.
