THE BEST ROOMS FOR SCENTED CANDLES
BEDROOM
Your bedroom is a place of rest, relaxation and tranquillity, so it's important to set a scene to reflects that peaceful atmosphere. Lavender is a good choice for a relaxing bedroom scent, as it can help you drift off into a soothing slumber-filled sleep with pleasant dreams.
Similarly, if you use your bedroom to unwind and take a break after a busy day, the delicate notes of rose fragrances can help lift stress and send you off to serenity for the rest of the evening.
For a romantic atmosphere, try rich scents such as ginger, jasmine and sandalwood; these essences are said to contain aphrodisiacal qualities that can really set the mood.
BATHROOM
The bathroom is another perfect room for relaxation; imagine sinking into an indulgent bubble bath after a long, trying day and enjoying the beautiful aroma of a scented candle as the stresses of the day melt away! Lavender and vanilla fragrances are a glorious bathtime treat, as they immerse your senses into relaxation. Linen scents are also known for their calming and invigorating effect.
For a fresh bathroom ambience, adorn your bathing space with citrus, mint or ocean-inspired scented candles for a light ambience that makes your home feel clean and contemporary.
