Following the release of Netflix’s hit series Emily in Paris‘s third drama- and fashion-filled season, I was left with only one lasting image I couldn’t get out of my head: the rolling lavender hills of Provence that the hit series practically dedicated an entire episode to. When Sylvie and her on-again, off-again husband weren’t getting chased out of the lavender fields by bees during a late-night romp, viewers were blessed with just over 20 minutes of picturesque views of the popular French destination.
For anyone who has no immediate plans to hop on a plane and experience the rolling hills of Provence in person, scented candles with notes of lavender may be the perfect solution. Keeping that energy, I’ve rounded up 12 of my favorite candles that feature notes of luscious lavender as well as a few other floral fragrances I’m loving lately. If you’re ready for a heavy dose of lavender, you’ll want to keep scrolling!
Key note: lavender leaf. Diptyque’s Lavender Leaf Candle evokes images of the vibrant lavender bushes on the hills of Haute Provence by providing an olfactory experience with a single note: lavender leaf. In total, the candle’s burn time amounts to 60 fragrance-filled hours.
Key notes: mandarin, lavender, jasmine blossoms. Part of Brooklyn Candle Studio’s best-selling Minimalist collection, Love Potion blends notes of exotic jasmine blossoms, calming lavender, and bright mandarin and smells like a handpicked bouquet of fresh wildflowers.

Its Cedar Leaf & Lavender candle continues the tradition with a fragrant mix of cozy lavender and rosemary with earthy notes of sage and cedar leaves.

Inspired by the Fern Canyon in Northern California, the candle offers a unique fragrance that’s altogether woodsy and floral, capturing the essence of the great outdoors.
Key notes: lavender leaf, lovage. Jo Malone London’s Lilac Lavender & Lovage Candle is inspired by the quintessential moments of the brand’s official townhouse. In addition to its 70 hours of burn time and lovely floral scent, this candle happens to make a ridiculously fabulous gift thanks to its chic ceramic vessel and matching lid.
