How to Choose the Perfect Scented Candle for Your Home
So you’ve decided it’s time to upgrade your home’s vibe, but with a galaxy of scented candles in the UK available, where do you even begin? It can feel a bit overwhelming, but don’t worry, we’re here to be your friendly fragrance chaos handler. Choosing the perfect candle is a delightful journey, and by considering a few key things, you can find a scent that speaks to your soul and transforms your space.
1. Let Your Nose Lead the Way (and Pick the Right Vibe!)
Choosing a candle is a deeply personal experience. What kind of atmosphere are you trying to create? Think about the mood you want to set.
- For a chill, relaxing night: Look for scents that incorporate lavender, sandalwood, or even cinnamon. These are your go-to for winding down and creating a serene escape from the day's chaos.
- For a burst of energy and focus: Citrus notes like grapefruit, lemon, or bergamot are your best friend. They're bright, clean, and give your space an instant zesty lift.
- For a warm, cozy feeling: Think about those comforting moments. A vanilla candle is a timeless classic, while a spiced orange or autumn candle with notes of cinnamon and clove can make your home feel like a warm hug on a cold day.
- For a touch of luxury and sophistication: Explore complex and unique blends. Look for scents with notes of rich florals like rose or deep, woody scents like oud and cedarwood.
Tip: Use the search bar to find your perfect scent. Just type in the notes you are looking for and your candle, wax melt or spray will pop up
2. Understand Your Wax
Did you know not all candle wax is created equal? The type of wax can affect how cleanly and how long your candle burns.
- Paraffin wax: This is the most common type of wax, but it's derived from petroleum and can produce more soot.
- Soy wax: This is our personal favourite! Soy wax candles are made from soybeans, making them a natural, biodegradable, and renewable resource. They burn slower, which means your candle will last longer, and they offer a cleaner burn with less soot.
When you choose a candle from our eco-friendly range, you're not just choosing a beautiful scent; you're choosing a guilt-free way to fill your home with fragrance.
3. Consider the Room Size
A small candle might get lost in a large, open-plan space. For bigger rooms, a larger luxury candle with multiple wicks will have a stronger scent throw and fill the area more effectively. For a smaller space, like a bedroom or a bathroom, a single-wick candle is often the perfect choice, as it won't overpower the room.
No matter the size of your space, there’s a perfect candle waiting for you.
