Light this scented soy wax candle when the room wants a deeper, quieter mood. Rydal Oudh brings a warm, woody atmosphere to the home, with a glass jar that shows creamy wax and pressed yellow botanicals through the sides.

This candle takes that setting as its starting point: wooded paths, moss-softened walls and the hush around the water. Oudh is traditionally valued in perfumery for its deep, resinous woodiness, so the scent feels at home with that inward, rain-washed scenery. It is …
