THE JANUARY RESET 2027 · Our series on starting the year well, one shelf, drawer and gym bag at a time.


January is long and dark, which makes it the right month to make home feel calmer. These 31 picks cover scented candles, essential oil diffusers, aromatherapy oils and incense, plus a few bath and sleep buys for a spa night at home. They come from 14 brands, from Diptyque and Jo Malone London to Boy Smells, Voluspa, Otherland, Homesick and P.F. Candle Co., diffuser specialists Vitruvi, Saje and Muji, and Parachute, Slip, Herbivore and This Works.

Prices are full US-dollar prices on each brand’s official site on 14 November 2026, except This Works, which ships from its UK store in pounds. Some items are on sale right now, so you may pay less. Product images belong to the brands. Ayerhs Magazine earns nothing from these links.
