The weather in the Philippines doesn’t exactly call for roaring fireplaces, but perhaps a freshly lit scented candle is as close as you can get—this one from 23rd Street Candle Co. is fittingly named By the Cozy Fire. A combination of apple, cinnamon, and mint, the fragrance brings about a toasty aroma that goes well with cozy sweaters, Christmas desserts, and perhaps Nat King Cole's version of "The Christmas Song" on loop.

Soyphisticated Collection's Cozy Christmas Butterscotch candle is all warmth and sugary goodness with a rich, caramel-like scent. The fragrance is inspired by Universal Studios in Osaka, Japan, which has a distinct, buttery scent all around because of the Harry Potter-inspired butterbeer that you can get in the park. Their Cozy Christmas Collection also incudes scents like cinnamon, vanilla, peppermint, and lavender. Plus, you can opt to get the candle in a jar that's all dressed up in a knitted sleeve—it'll be like it's wearing its own little Christmas sweater.
