10 Escapist Candles to Burn During Your 'White Lotus' Watch Party
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
The White Lotus is finally back on the air, and with season three in full swing, we've got vacation on the brain. Every time we see those gorgeous pool umbrellas, we can picture a lotus-scented breeze washing over us. We might not be able to cruise around Thailand right away, but we can certainly capture an escapist vibe in our own homes with a few well-placed candles.
The popular Max show has actually collaborated with brands Homesick and Nest New York to craft candles inspired by the show. The Homesick candle is called "Room Service" and comes with notes of lotus blossom, of course, while the Nest New York candle combines cucumber and white sage for a refreshing throw. As shopping-obsessed editors with a soft spot for candles, we were inspired by these collaborations to see what other candles we could snag to keep the elegant escape going all year long.
Below, you'll find 10 candles from editor-approved brands that capture those ultra-relaxing vibe The White Lotus environments give off. Your watch parties are probably much less sinister than what goes on behind the scenes at the hotel, but your home can definitely smell just as good while you host. Some of our picks even make for incredible home decor. No matter which of the White Lotus hotel locations is your favorite, there's a candle for you.

Room Service Candle
With notes of lotus blossom, fresh linen, ocean air and champagne, we can't imagine a more spot-on encapsulation of The White Lotus in Thailand. It smells like arriving at your hotel room and immediately jumping onto a freshly made bed.
Panjore Lychee Boxed Candle
The lightly sweet lychee in this Voluspa candle reminds us of sipping on cocktails poolside, which is perfect for that resort vibe. The clean-burning coconut wax will leave a nice scent in your home even after you blow it out.
Italia Classic 2-Wick Candle
If you're more of a season two fan of The White Lotus, with the spicy setting in Sicily, go with this Italy-inspired candle. It's from Senior Commerce Editor Marina Liao's favorite brand. Incense and orange blossom give a smoky aroma to your apartment.
Jasmine + Mint Candle
This candle's wild jasmine and peppermint scent will brighten up any space, but we recommend lighting it in the bathroom to make it feel like a five-star spa.
Cucumber & White Sage Decorative 3-Wick Candle
Not only does this candle have a herby white sage throw, but it's also covered in beautiful flora reminiscent of the third season. It's just as beautiful to leave on display as it is to smell.
Boxed Candle - Fig & Lotus Blossom
The lotus blossom in this candle is the obvious choice, but it's rounded out with a sweet fig for those who prefer a fruity candle to an overly floral one.
Sea & Dune Signature Candle
LAFCO's Sea & Dune candle combines lotus, sea grass, and amber in this sleek, hand-blown glass candle. With a 90-hour burn time, it'll definitely last you the whole third season, and remind you of it long after it's off the air.
Heritage Collection Thai Silk Candle
Take one whiff of that cedarwood, rose petals, and silk blend, and tell me you don't want to book a summer getaway. Plus, it's only $9, which is a major steal for something that smells that rich.
Relief Soy Candle
Ready to bring the resort vibes into your city apartment, just burn this candle called "Stress Relief." This candle has pretty much every spa scent in the book: lemon, eucalyptus, mint, and jasmine.
Tahiti Wanderlust Jar Candle
If you're a White Lotus purist, the scents of hibiscus flowers and sea salt will probably remind you of season one and its dreamy Maui hotel.
