As JoJo Co. approaches its 9th year, we’ve celebrated countless seasons, each with its own special charm. Some might think that summer is the time our candles take a backseat - but let me assure you, our scents are needed all year long. Your home doesn’t need to go unscented just because the sun is shining!
That said, as we move into this season, it becomes even more special to light a candle and surround yourself with comforting aromas. The team here at the studio is buzzing with excitement about Autumn feels, and I, for one, am ready to coorie in - that Scottish feeling of curling up and embracing warmth, comfort, and cosy vibes at home – sorry if you hate the Winter but I love all the seasons equally!
There’s something about this season that makes having good candles in the home feel essential. Winter Grace, our luxurious autumn-winter scent, is on the horizon and I can’t wait to fill the house with it. Alongside it, Sandalwood & Peppercorn is my go-to on the build up to Winter, perfect for layering scents in adjoining rooms - lounge and kitchen-diner, with the door open - creating a rich, immersive fragrance experience. And yes, I am an absolute sucker for new mugs, big chunky ones for homemade soups, which just add to that cosy vibe we all crave. Why does coffee taste so much better in a new “perfect” mug?
Thinking about seasonal touches for your home can be fun, simple, and affordable. I’m already imagining fresh blankets, painting a feature wall in a darker, comforting tone, or introducing new art prints. Little changes can completely refresh your space, making it feel safe, homely, and ready for the cooler months. Simple additions like textured throws, cushions, and a few well-chosen home accessories can transform your home into the ultimate cosy retreat.
Have you ever had a look at our bespoke prints – one of these might be a nice addition to your cosy space – my brother actually has ‘Keep the Fire Burning’ print right above his log burner – of course with the matchy matches we do.
Let’s Talk About Those Tasty Scents
Now, onto the scents that truly make this season magical. Rhubarb & Vanilla is a standout - it's warm, crumbly, edible aroma seems to peak in winter, instantly making kitchens feel inviting. Lighting it on a Sunday afternoon or during holiday preparations brings that comforting, homely atmosphere we all crave.
And then there’s Fresh Coffee, which delivers the ultimate weekend vibe all year, but somehow feels even better in winter. Picture a freezing Sunday morning: your coffee candle flickering, a cup of coffee in hand, scones in the oven - pure bliss. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s a must; once experienced, you’ll never look back.
Pairing these scents in our Twin Autumn Set - a 45-hour Winter Grace candle alongside a 45-hour Sandalwood & Peppercorn - is a game-changer for creating a layered, luxurious fragrance experience that transforms your home instantly. These little touches make every room feel cosy, inviting, and perfectly seasonal.
This season is all about embracing those simple, joyful rituals that make your home feel like a sanctuary. Candles, comforting scents, cosy blankets, mugs for warming soups - these aren’t just luxuries; they’re small ways to care for yourself, bring warmth to your home, and celebrate the season in style. Coorie in, make the most of your space, and let your home reflect the calm, cosy vibe we all deserve.
