Hoping for sparks to fly this Valentine's Day? Just light one of these romantic candles. Whether you're trying to set the mood for a Valentine's Day dinner or make your Galentine's Day party even sweeter for all your single ladies, these aromatic candles are sure to do the trick. That's true even if you prefer to spend Valentine's Day curled up at home with a good romantic comedy.

Here, you'll find candles in beautiful jars as well as taper candles perfect for decorating your dinner table. There's even a few heart-shaped picks! Pink and red hues with floral scents are the obvious choice for the holiday (what says Valentine's Day more than a bouquet of flowers?), but food-scented candles like strawberry shortcake, musky amber, and sweet vanilla can also be calming and passionate. And if you're looking for candles to light during a meal, unscented is the way to go. That's because the perfume in scented candles can compete with your freshly baked dessert for two or a box of Valentine's Day chocolates. Once the wick burns out, the container can even double as a serving dish for Valentine's Day candy.

So whether you're setting up a romantic spread for your partner, hosting a Galentine's Day get-together with girl friends, or looking for a last minute Valentine's Day gift, these Valentine's Day candles are sure to fill the air with love.

Floral Woodland Berry & Rose Ceramic Heart Candle

This candy striper-inspired ceramic candle is so cute you won't want to burn it! With a mix of woodland berry and rose scents, it smells heavenly. Once it's empty, you can use it as a decorative box to hold all your jewelry.

Roses are red and so is this candle! It combines the sweet scent of rose petals with the confidence of guaiac wood, smoked cherry, and a hint of leather. There's a mini version for $12, too!

'Fresh Cut Roses' Jar Candle

Ree grew roses for years and loves the flower in shades of pink. This candle is a bouquet in jar form. It very well may be better than a bouquet of actual roses because it smells just like them, but lasts much longer!

This is one of their bestsellers for a reason! It smells just like the airy dessert you love: freshly picked strawberries, golden shortcake, and whipped cream.

'You' Candle

Don't forget to take some time to love yourself this Valentine's Day. We suggest a day of rest and relaxation while burning this candle, aptly named 'You.' The scent matches Glossier's bestselling perfume which has notes of pink pepper, fresh iris, and woody ambrette, and ambrox.

Alabaster Heart Scented Candle

Two hearts are better than one! This pair of candles come in a blend of vanilla bean, tobacco leaf, Valencia orange, and golden amber. The alabaster stone dish can be used as a catchall once the candle burns out.

The Pink Roses Macaron Candle Trio

If you can't choose between sweets, flowers, and candles, why not choose a gift that combines the three? This trio of candles looks like macarons and smell of flowers.

Wildflowers Candle

This modern candle is like a floral bouquet conveniently packed in a clean, minimalistic jar. It's a mixture of scents of geranium, peony, and magnolia. Give it to your daughter or BFF!

'Cuffing Season' Candle

Cuffing season is when the weather gets colder and single people couple up. This candle captures that feeling through a woodsy floral scent, like the flowers you might get on a first date.

Kiss Candles

This playful lip-shaped candle comes in both classic Valentine's Day colors: red and pink. But whichever you pick, the message remains the same: "Kiss me!"
