Bougie Uncle Approved: Mother's Day Candle Gifts from Sephora

Some Candle Ideas For Mom's Special Day

Hi boo,

Don't forget Mother's Day is coming up! I was just browsing on the Sephora store, adding things to cart (it's a problem, I know), and thought—why not curate some candles for the special day?

I'm thinking of this as a full Mother's Day experience: morning, afternoon, and night, depending on how you're celebrating with mom. These three candles can take her through the entire day of celebration, or you can pick the one that matches your plans.

Morning Brightness: Forever Mood Match Up Besties Candle

Y'all know I love Jackie, and I love her perfume I Am Her, which is incredible. (And if you just want something to wear every day, You Remind Me is also quite a lively skin scent.) But the candle Matcha Bes-Teas is very earthy, green, and aromatic. It's like a lemongrass matcha, so I find it very energizing and uplifting. There's eucalyptus and rosemary that make it just very soothing—it's great and burns for a long time, like 65 hours. This is perfect for morning moments with mom—maybe a breakfast in bed situation or a fresh start to her special day.Add that to cart immediately - here!

Afternoon : Voluspa Goji Tarocco Orange

If you want something of a juicier vibe, go for Voluspa's Goji Tarocco Orange. It comes in that gorgeous red jar that looks like a gift in itself. It's like very fresh citrus with goji berry, mango, and orange. I love Voluspa because of the throw—they really throw. They really, REALLY throw in the room, and in a really amazing way. This bright, fruity candle is perfect for afternoon celebrations—perhaps a lunch gathering or when you're opening gifts together. Buy here.

Evening Indulgence: Maison Margiela Afternoon Delight

For the evening, I'd go with Afternoon Delight by Maison Margiela. This is a little bit warmer with the vanilla and Madeline-like sand, but it feels like a sweet indulgence. Imagine: you've taken your mom out to dinner, you're back home eating a delicious dessert. It's very creamy, whipped vanilla, very luxe, very Parisian luxury dinner. The perfect end to Mother's Day. Buy here.

Bonus Recommendation (Not a Candle)

If you want to buy her a perfume instead (which is not this article, but I can't help myself), I would suggest African Rooibos by Chris Collins. It's like the most incredible tea-floral scent. It's almost like citrusy rooibos tea and cedar—lively but elegant and fresh. To me, this should be body wash and everything in between.

But anyway, I digress. Those are the Bougie Uncle approved candles for Mother's Day from Sephora. Let me know what you got!

Love,
