Few things delight us more on the Celebrity Style team than when we discover the exact products notable figures use in their homes – especially when they retail for under $100. Candles are inevitably a reoccurring favorite.
Everybody, including celebrities, can't resist the fragrance and ambient glow of a candle, and often, even the most luxurious options are available for a somewhat accessible price range, making it easy to copy their exact look.
Shay Mitchell is the latest example of this. The Pretty Little Liars actress revealed her love for one of the best candles on the market: Byredo's 'Woods' candle (available from Bloomingdales). It's a staple of kitchen countertops – and it's the scent she associates with home (so much so, in fact, that she travels with one to remind her of home comforts when she's away).
'I love this candle. It’s the one I have on the island in my kitchen. I love it so much I sometimes throw it in my bag before heading to the airport just because the scent reminds me of home even when I’m far away,' Mitchell shared with The Strategist. You can shop her go-to via Bloomingdales below.
Woods is described as a darkly enchanting woody fragrance that brings you back in tune with nature. The rich scent captures the complex fragrance of a woodland, topped by the soothing energy of cedarwood for a relaxing aura that's perfect for the bedroom. However, we can't deny that, like Mitchell, it's also a great way to bring some serenity to your kitchen.
Byredo, the if-you-know-you-know brand that makes Saldana's preferred candle, saw a 63% increase in sales in 2021 from the previous year, GQ reported, and since then, its influence on celebrities has only got stronger. Making your home smell nice is suddenly just as important as how your home looks and Byredo is increasingly trusted among those in the know.
It may come as no surpsie, then, that Mitchell is not exclusive in her love for the Byredo brand. Zoe Saldana uses the Byredo Fleur Fantôme Scented Candle (available at Amazon) in her dressing room, and, like Woods, this fragrance is the perfect way to bring a hint of luxury to any space.
Zoe Saldana's favorite candle uplifts subtle, green florals. With top notes of rhubarb and lemon, heart notes of violet and tulip and base notes of galbanum, heliotrope, and suede, you can't go wrong.
Lastly, when it comes to Taylor Swift's favorite candle, Byredo reportedly comes out on top once again. When answering Vogue's 73 Questions, Taylor shared that the woody fragrance is her favorite aroma; but the observant among us may have already spotted the candle on a tray in her living room.
Tree House draws inspiration from architect Takashi Kobayashi, who constructs buildings using the natural environment of Japanese forests. The scent is ideal for those who enjoy woody fragrances in their home, thanks to its spicy sandalwood undertones and deep base notes of leather.
Whichever scent you choose, you can easily knowing two things – you're in excellent company – and Byredo is only going to get bigger.
