Sure, you might have heard them dismissed as some kind of “hippy-dippy” contrivance at some point, but they most certainly are not.
Firstly, you can use them for aromatherapy/to set a mood.
We are all more than a bit stressed out these days, so lighting a candle which gives off a favorite scent, coupled with dimming the lights and sitting quietly on the sofa with a soothing cup of tea, can go a long way towards making an aggravating day seem not so bad after all.
Also, should you have pets or, even worse, a smoking habit, you can use them to eliminate associated unpleasant odors. Air fresheners can have a decidedly ersatz and off-putting smell, despite what the label may promise will be a “summer’s day” or “field of flowers” aroma.
Additionally, some scented candles are packaged in such a way that they can be used simply as decorative items for your home.
Beautiful glassware or elaborately designed labels or covers make them useful well beyond their inherent functionality.
Preference when it comes to scents is, of course, a very personal thing.
However, whether you are into “woodsy” tones or vanilla, or perhaps lavender or citrus, we think you will find something you like among our “best of” list of scented candles immediately below, and yes, we swear that not knowing one “warrior” yoga pose from the other is perfectly okay. Well, maybe not “perfectly” okay, let’s make that “mostly”.
