It is the season of gift-giving and filling your home with the scent of the holidays! One of the first things I do every year is to add a diffuser and candle from Thymes to my home, so I was so excited when they reached out to me this year to share their Frasier Fir collection with me. 

Thymes is known for their amazing fragrances and quality products with an artful touch. Each season they introduce a new scent that perfectly ties in with nature and makes us want to slow down and connect with ourselves. Essentially making me want to nest and stay indoors!

Here are a few things to not miss!

  • Seasonal candles with standout visual packaging, like a pop of green and gold, double as home decor and gifts without extra wrapping effort.
  • The best holiday candles earn a permanent spot on your shelf because their fragrance works across multiple seasons, not just the weeks around a holiday.
  • Gifting a quality candle to a coworker or dear friend is one of the safest, most universally appreciated present choices you can make.
  • Burn time, fragrance throw, and wax quality matter more than the label on the front of the tin.
  • A candle that looks as good as it smells is always worth the slightly higher price point.
  • You do not need to wait for a holiday occasion to light a great-smelling candle and enjoy it.

The most beautiful and thoughtful gift for the season!

Their popular Frasier Fir collection comes in so many different varieties that make gift-giving one of these beautiful pieces even easier.

I have used Thymes products in my home for years and the Frasier Fir diffuser is one of my all-time favorites that I purchase every year for my own home. It is not too overpowering yet follows me from room to room. 

Since living in Texas we have not bought a real tree for the holidays in years. The Frasier Fir products make you quickly forget your tree is faux with its beautiful outdoor scent of pine needles.

 I love to add a Frasier Fir diffuser to my entry table and it ties in beautifully with my other holiday decor.

The bottle design has gorgeous fir branch artwork on it and I love the matching green tint of the diffuser sticks. 

Tip: did you know you are to flip the sticks every day to maximize the diffusing of the scent?!

This year I added this large 17 oz Gold Frasier Fir candle to my coffee table. I paired it with some of my mini Christmas trees on this round wood beaded tray.

I just love the pop of gold and the glam touch it adds!

Tip: The first time you burn your candle, let it burn for 3-4 hours so you don’t get candle tunneling where the wax builds up on the sides around the wick. This will help you maximize the burn time of your candle.

I also added the 11 oz Frasier Fir candle to my rattan bar cart. I have this set and ready for entertaining and just need to add the items for a drink station when we have guests over.

It is the perfect size to nestle on a counter or tuck into a little spot for an ambient glow and scent of the outdoors.

I love the beautiful pop of green and gold and this would make the best gift for a dear friend or someone at work. It is one of those candles I will have here well past the holiday season.

  • Thymes is known for seasonal home fragrance collections that use candles, diffusers, room sprays, and other scented products during the holidays.
  • Frasier Fir is one of the brand’s recognizable holiday fragrances, featuring notes inspired by fresh-cut evergreen trees and forest greenery.
  • Holiday scents can influence the atmosphere of a room just as much as visual decorations, especially in entryways and living spaces.
  • Candles, diffusers, and room sprays release fragrance differently, so the best format can depend on the room size and desired scent intensity.
  • Using the same fragrance in several forms can help create a consistent scent throughout different areas of the home.
  • Seasonal fragrance products can be incorporated into existing Christmas displays, including mantels, coffee tables, entry consoles, and guest bathrooms.
  • Strong fragrances are usually better used selectively, especially when decorating smaller rooms or areas where food will be served.
  • Holiday home fragrances can also work as host gifts, stocking stuffers, or seasonal gifts because they do not require matching a specific decorating style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fragrance notes are typically found in a scent of the season candle?
Most seasonal candles build around warm, nature-inspired notes like balsam, cedar, clove, amber, and fresh greenery. These notes are often layered with pine, citrus, sandalwood, or musk to create a balanced seasonal fragrance.

How long should a quality seasonal candle burn before I need to replace it?
A well-made candle in the $20 to $45 price range should give you somewhere between 40 and 70 hours of burn time depending on the size and wax formulation. Proper wick trimming and allowing an even melt pool can help the candle burn more efficiently.

Is a candle an appropriate gift for a coworker or someone I don’t know very well?
Yes, a candle is one of the safest gift choices for a coworker or acquaintance precisely because it is personal without being too personal. Choose a clean, versatile fragrance and neutral packaging that can appeal to different tastes.

Can I display a seasonal candle year-round, or does it look out of place after the holidays?
A candle with versatile packaging and a fragrance profile that leans toward green, wood, or warm amber tones can absolutely stay on display well past the holiday season. Designs without obvious Christmas imagery can easily transition into winter and everyday home decor.

What is the best way to store a candle when I am not using it?
Store your candle in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight with the lid on to protect the fragrance and prevent the wax surface from fading or cracking. A cabinet, drawer, or decorative box can help protect it from heat and sunlight.
