Candles & Home Scents at Hamilton Home

A candle is the simplest way to change a room. Hamilton Home carries scented candles from houses that treat fragrance seriously, along with the glass hurricanes, votives and tealights that make candlelight part of a table. It is the gift that works for almost anyone and almost any occasion.

Baobab Collection, from Belgium, is known for large hand-poured candles in colored glass; we carry the Max 10 and Max 16 sizes and the My First Baobab travel candles. Baccarat's Four Elements candle comes in a crystal vessel, and Ginori 1735's scented candles come in painted porcelain from Florence. Michael Aram's Ocean Reef and Forget Me Not candles pair fragrance with his sculpted metal lids. For holding a flame, Simon Pearce's hand-blown Nantucket and Echo Lake hurricanes and tealights are made in Vermont and are among the most-given pieces in our showrooms. Trio travel candle sets make an easy hostess or thank-you gift. Most candles come boxed by the maker, so they are ready to give as they are.

Fragrance is personal, and the only way to choose is to smell it. Visit us in Princeton or Palm Beach to try the scents, or book an appointment and our team will walk you through them. Every order is gift wrapped, and our team can help you pair a candle with a hurricane for a finished gift. If you are sending a candle out of town, we can wrap and ship it from either showroom.

Candles & Home Scents FAQ

How do I pick a scent for someone else?

Woody and citrus scents are the safest for a gift; floral and gourmand scents are more personal. Our team can suggest options based on what the person wears or how their home is decorated.

How long do these candles burn?

It varies by size and maker. Large candles such as the Baobab Max 16 burn for many hours; travel sizes are shorter. Our team can advise on a specific candle.

How should I care for a candle so it burns evenly?

Let the wax melt to the edge on the first burn, trim the wick to about a quarter inch before each use, and keep it away from drafts.

Can a hurricane be engraved?

Simon Pearce hurricanes can usually be engraved with initials or a date. Our team can advise on options and timing.
