I do love a good scented candle, they make lovely gifts (for me, fyi) and others. Not only do they scent your home, but they look good too. Here are three of my favourite new launches...

The nights are drawing in (sob) but us British are resiliant creatures and will no doubt sit out in our gardens in woollies. Add a little festive cheer to your garden all year round with these large outdoor candles from Diptyque. Your patio will never have looked so chic! £170, diptyqueparis.co.uk

I'm a big fan of Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb fragrance and if you are, you'll be pleased to feast your eyes on this thing of beauty. I need say no more. £40, houseoffraser.co.uk.

Last, but by no means least, Miller Harris is launching two new perfumes along with candles, so you and your home can smell alike (bless). La Pluie exudes the scent of tropical showers and a balmy climate, while La Fumee is woody, sensuous and smoky - perfect for winter. £34 each, launching 5 September, millerharris.com.
